Other animals scientists use have similar genetic makeup as humans. Also according to ethics, it is not ethical to test unknown substances on humans that could potentially harm them.

Answer:

Beacuse scientists can not test on themselves because it is unsafe so they use animals and rats and mice are most common because they have similar DNA to humans. Scientists are trying to develop ways where they will no thave to test on animals or humans in the future and still be able to experiment with variables for medicine or condiment trials.
