"yes much more human testing, especially volunteers who are terminally ill/suicidal etc."
Basically, it is already done, when late stage cancer patients agree to the very latest, risky treatments.
But I would extend it with say, granting death row canditates certain privileges, when they agree for some risky tests. But that is a very grey area with lots of room for turning into dystopia (but you can argue death row prisoners are living there anyway).
Also the problem with proper testing is, that you need healthy subjects which are as similar as possible. So that would mean breeding or cloning humans as test subjects. I fear this is secretly already done or planned, for very promising stem cell research/gene therapies/enhanced babies.
"In my ideal world, we use approximately 50% as much animal testing and 0.1% as many animal food products. "
And in my ideal world, we do not do animal testing at all anymore, but since I have not a working replacement avaiable, your numbers sound agreeable.
