I can see it now: mutant mice taking over the human empire spread across the galaxy!!!! We haven't been able to wipe them out when they don't have the smarts of a human being, how much chance would we have if they did have? the sequel: the mouse empire takes on the cockroaches!!!!! with a numerical disadvantage of about 20 trillion to one!!!
Miss Dialyn - Methinks we have about 435 congressional representatives and 100 senators in Washington, D.C. could provide this 'volunteer' service? Their absence would likely go un-noticed. It might even improve things? Who knows? They laughed at Wilbur and Orville Wright when they said they would fly at Kittyhawk!! WINK. T.P.
Ahh, the idea of mice with human brains doesn't scare me. No, not at all. Not since I learned about: ROBOT JET FIGHTERS PILOTED BY LAB-GROWN RAT BRAINS! Now THAT'S worth waking up in a cold sweat over.
Rats in Space... Yep, if it weren't for those whiney conservatives, we'd all be driving cars powered by rat brains, and nobody would have to go to work cuz all our jobs would be handled by little petri platters of rodent neurons... Of course, that would mean that none of us would get paid, but who would need people anymore, anyway? Except, I think the oldest profession might still have a few positions...

"Mice grow human brain cells after stem cell injections By Paul Elias ASSOCIATED PRESS 2:05 p.m. December 12, 2005 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. " What would it be like to be a mouse who suddenly has human intelligence? It could be a horror story, or a tragedy. I wonder at what point human arrogance goes one step too far? How do we carelessly kill a creature that suddenly has human traits of intelligence? What are the ramifications of blurring the lines...or are they already blurred and we are too ignorant (or too egotistical) to see it? Hmmm?
