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

    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.
