Did you expect them to start testing it on humans before mice?
- codeulike 5y agoNo but I expect the 'in mice' to be part of the headline because its quite an important detail
- adtac 5y agoIt sounds very obvious, but there are some macroscopic medical phenomena that apply only to mice and small rodents. For example, I recently learnt that you can freeze hamsters and then "thaw" them in a microwave and they'll just wake and continue to live normally; this doesn't seem to work with humans unfortunately. Just imagine the applications, you wouldn't even need a regional hospitals; just freeze everyone and send them to a centralised mega hospital and ship them back when healed. (As an aside, this was one of the first ever uses of a microwave.)
