I don't like the idea of testing on human babies, but thinking about it in a detached and objective point of view, no, I don't see the problem. I reserve the right to feel horrible about the thought of doing something, even if I can find nothing objectively wrong with it.

As far as the question of whether or not we should allow it goes, I think the consensus among people in society is that too many people would feel uncomfortable with it for us to allow it. I derive that in the same way we arrive at 'thou shalt not commit murder'. I don't believe it is objectively wrong, because I don't believe in objective morals, but it's 'wrong' in society because one hell of a lot of people don't like it.
