Eh as a PhD student in genetics, the stuff we do to mice is abominable. Researchers give them incurable insufferable cancers to study complex gene interactions.

Eh as a PhD student in genetics, the stuff we do to mice is abominable. Researchers give them incurable insufferable cancers to study complex gene interactions. In my first lab, there were even signs on the mouse cages instructing the veterinarians not to administer eye drops even though the eyes were bulging out of their head. These mice are set up for a lifetime of suffering sometimes.
