There is no ethical question. Cockroaches are neurologically incapable of suffering from pain, and human compassion can't deal with billions of the little critters.
That said, you can feel compassion towards roaches you keep as pet. For example I wouldn't use the species they are using in this video, I'd prefer bigger ones that also can't procreate in your household beyond their cage...
The roaches survive these experiments. It's less harm than being eaten by predators...
