The world’s first schizophrenic mice

A kepala angin mice ?


"It is believed to be the first time an animal has been genetically engineered to have a mental illness........... The mice were created by modifying their DNA to mimic a mutant gene first found in a Scottish family with a high incidence of schizophrenia, which affects about one in every 100 people. The mice’s brains were found to have features similar to those of humans with schizophrenia, such as depression and hyperactivity."

But, in the name of kindness to all living things and humanity, why do we need to have mice with mental illness ? For the benefits of manKIND ? or was it manCRUEL ? This is disgusting !!! So, what next ? A schizophrenic Dog ? An autistic monkey ? A lesbian or Gay Cat ? I guess the ethical line bas been breached. What is there to stop those scientists from creating more monsters ?

This world is full of ignorance people who are only interested in end results without due regards for welfare of all living things and their environment.

I do hope these scientists know what they are doing.

May God bless you.
