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
I do agree that it might be worse, probably worse that meat stock, which is raised to die. At least they aren't tortured.
The mice need a floatilla and a few celebrities to turn on the red carpet and go "Yeah but what about the genocide of mice? -- Chekmate, deuces."
the very purpose of the floatillas is to get the mice out of the war-torn area to safety
And simultaneously unhealthy (otherwise how are we"curing" them)
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.
Did they test sildenafil on mice
Well they did pay for it.

This is not the xkcd I thought you were going to use
Which one did you have in mind?
This one
So "xkcd" is now a genericised noun for any comic? Also, is this xerox a Canon?
"four letter science comic"
Are you really that offended I linked to a relevant comic that wasn't xkcd?
Protip, being abrasive makes people not want to talk to you.
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.
Still abrasive.
Not interested
And human tissues, and it's been shown to be safe in phase I trials.
So saying "in mice" undersells where they are at.
Yeah looks like poster either didn't read the article or just didn't read it sufficiently but decided to be reactionary anyways.
The language I see is regeneration in mice, less breakdown in humans
Now we only need a drug to turn humans into mice and back.
Cindarellazine.
They started with mice. As does all experiments.
Did you only read half way through before reaction posting?
Weird.
it's weird to comment "weird" on everything
Yes it would be. Good thing that's not happening. How's the spread of the misinformation? I see I'm hitting a few nerves.
GOOD.
