Not really, it is about risk management, surely better to maim a couple of rats, than a couple of humans, human testing is the last step and prior to animal testing there are a lot of steps too, these scientists dont just make up a goo and stick it in Basils eye to see what happens, they have a pretty good idea it should be safe, this is to confirm their findings (from scientific knowledge, computer modeling, testing on cultures etc).
