Scientists breed world’s first mentally ill mouse
Scientists have created the world’s first schizophrenic mice in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the illness.
It is believed to be the first time an animal has been genetically engineered to have a mental illness. Until now they have been bred only for research into physical conditions such as heart disease. It will allow researchers to study the disease and develop treatments using a limitless supply of laboratory animals.
Of course, there is the obligatory “viewing with alarm”:
Animal rights campaigners have condemned the research, saying that it is morally repugnant to create an animal doomed to mental suffering.
Why then is there no objection to liberalism?
My first thought was that the mouse would enter the Democratic primary – lol
