**SAN FRANCISCO — Add another creation to the strange scientific menagerie where animal species are being mixed together in ever more exotic combinations.
Scientists announced Monday that they had created mice with small amounts of human brain cells in an effort to make realistic models of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
Led by Fred Gage of the Salk Institute in San Diego, the researchers created the mice by injecting about 100,000 human embryonic stem cells per mouse into the brains of 14-day-old rodent embryos.**
 
Research like this could lead to horrific consequences if those mutated animals escape.

PF
 
mutants?
Don’t you think they’d turn out like the mice-men in Narnia? 😛
 
For some reason two things come to mind:

  1. *]Mighty Mouse
    *]Mickey Mouse

    It will be mass hysteria!!!
 
Are you a mouse, or are you a man?

Why not just give mice little, tiny human brains? That way, they could go to high school, college, get degrees in medicine and law, and becoming contributing public citizens. No need to deny mice their God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of cheese.

But then who would populate the lab? 🙂

They could also move to Milwaukee, WI and load up on the cheese and drink themselves silly.

It’s Miller Time!!!
 
Those scientists are way behind. I already cut my figure on a blade in a lab to make slides or rat brain tissue, so i am already part rat 🙂 . Since that point, I have developed a love for dark corners and rummaging through neighbors trash. No tail, but having a keen sense of smell comes in handy. Now all i need is a costume and a cool name to my moonlighting of crime fighting. Any ideas guys and gals?
