    Great news: we're excellent at curing mice of diseases. All this time we've been trying to find drugs that have the same effect in humans as they do in mice, but until now no one has had the insight or bravery to ask the question, "What if we just made people more mouse?" Exciting stuff.

      This is making mice more people, but either way it's an exciting day for mice everywhere.

        Not really, since this is just inventing new and exciting ways to give mice more brain diseases

            As if mice didn’t have enough of their own brain diseases!

              There actually exist mice facial expression amplifiers (and sound clarifiers etc.). If we employed them, we could get a better insight on their quirks and difficulties.

        Not really. Soon they will be paying taxes just like us and I'm not sure they're going to like it.
