Under what conditions is animal research ethical?

I thought killing flies for research wasn’t going to bother me. After decapitating and removing the brains of a dozen or so, it turns out it does. This particular project seems useful in a general knowledge sense, but isn’t saving any lives or substantively bettering humanity (unless you think pure knowledge is a benefit unto itself).
So is animal research ethical? All animals? All research? Why?
