This sounds very much like the kind of logic that's been roundly criticized from the Effective Altruism people in recent weeks.
"This company has a goal to some day in the far future do massive amounts of unquestionable good! Therefore, you must allow them free rein to do whatever they want now, or you're keeping people disabled."
We have ethical rules for scientific research for a reason. We have, as a society, decided that we value the lives, comfort, and dignity of both humans and (to a lesser degree) animals now more than potential future good. If we can get to that future good, we will be able to do so without resorting to destructive and unethical means...or it's not worth getting to.
