Consider the alternative—taking a new drug without benefit of human trials. You would BE the human trial. It's going to happen sooner or later. As long as patients are fully informed of potential risks, I think it's a necessary evil. The real crime is if they're testing on people unknowingly or without full disclosure—e.g. MKUltra, et al.

Never mind India— Unethical human experimentation in the United States
