This article is about scientists and mice. The scientists tested on the mice and manipulated their fear response. This study occured in a laboratory and was officially posted on Friday in Science. The reason for this experiment is to study mental health. This study may help for mental disorder such as schizophrenia.
I think that this experiment was very harmful and cruel to the mice, but I also feel that this study will help in the better cause. The reasons for my thinking are: the mice were shocked, the mice had their memories tampered with, but at the same time human health can be improved for some people. With this study, many people will be affected for the better. Of course, some mice may be manipulated and messed around with, but they will have helped to allow humans to survive.
