Probably worth adding "in mice" to the title

    Mice are really living in a golden age. They have never been so healthy.

    The only downside is the never ending genocide at the hands of scientists

    Is it still genocide if the ones killing are also reproducing them?

    It's kinda worse. Imagine if aliens came here and not just killed us all, but bred us only to be experimented on and then horribly dying with less than 1% living a bit longer and maybe experience some odd things the others didn't. Like a factory where the first machine is making us have children before we get killed then doing the same for our kids ad infinitum.5

    Uhhh you do know what happens to them at the end of the experiment right?

    They turn into a soup-like homogenate. As is natural in the life cycle of a lab mouse.

    And if they weren't euthanized they would almost certainly die of horrible horrible cancerous tumors. Not because of anything the labs do, but because it's a crime against nature for a mouse to live past maybe 2 years.

    So "xkcd" is now a genericised noun for any comic? Also, is this xerox a Canon?

    Are you really that offended I linked to a relevant comic that wasn't xkcd?

    I take it you didn't read the conversation to get the markers about the topic before posting that.

    Lots of reading comprehension problems in these science posts

    Protip, being abrasive makes people not want to talk to you.

    Just to clear up any confusion: I'm not posting for your approval. Between you and the reactionary posters in these threads: I couldn't imagine anyone I'd be more repellent to have a rapport with.

    You asked a question, i simply answered it.
    Maybe don't ask questions you don't like the answers to. It doesn't make any difference to me.

    And human tissues, and it's been shown to be safe in phase I trials.

    So saying "in mice" undersells where they are at.

    They started with mice. As does all experiments.

    Did you only read half way through before reaction posting?

    Weird.
