This definitely has the reporter spin to the extremes. Surely dropping them out of planes, shooting them, and using them as crash test dummies is the extreme case but not the norm. After all, all of those uses have highly developed non-human dummy models which an be easily substituted. The more typical use case is for medical student training, development of new medical procedures, testing of new or developing medical devices/equipment/drugs. All of these scenarios will require actual human flesh and there is no substitute for the real thing - animals or models can only get you so far.
