Humanized Mice?

Just now, I heard the words “humanized mice” on Fox News. It was the first time I have ever heard the term used. It was in relation to covid, and the whole issue of how and why these mice came to be “humanized” was ignored, bypassed, and glossed over. As if humanized mice are a totally normal thing. Beam me up Scotty.

  1. I thought of Mickey! After all he’s wearing pants and shoes, right? How human can you get?
    Seriously, though I never heard of this. It can’t end well.

  2. Chimeras are a logical ‘evolution’ for those who feel humanity is a construct/conceit and that humans are a ‘cancer on the planet’. God have mercy on us.
