Exactly. Skepticism is the way to go here. It is basically what this board is doing in this thread. Do not accept things just because an authority figure is producing the results. Ask yourself why they're studying what they're studying, why they're using a certain methodology, why they're interpreting results a certain way, etc, etc. Skepticism is the key to knowledge hereI'm sure you can pinpoint which fields should use mice and which fields shouldn't. I will choose to be more cautious and take things as they are presented to me. I'm sure the university of Oslo funds anything that sounds impressive.

Don't give a rats. Still no cure for balding! We dont need no ebola cure. Fix balding or I riot!
Well given that I AM a mouse, those are the studies I choose to read.
I know I haven't posted a photo of myself yet so here's one that may help clear things up:

I think those are rats?
Interesting. But it's mice.
We share 50% of our dna with bananas too, but taking one up the ass don’t make you gay.The reason we start these kind of tests on mice is because we are, genetically, more than 90% similar to them.

Only if you like it.We share 50% of our dna with bananas too, but taking one up the ass don’t make you gay.

And we share a little over 60% genetically with a banana, so shouldn't the results be mostly similar pinning a banana with tren as a human...?
And actually, if you take a look at non-coding genes, the genetic similarities between humans and mice goes down to about 50%...
Why would scientists continue to use mice if they were no good at showing us what could happen to human subjects?
