Cat and mouse may never be the same! Japanese scientists say they've used genetic engineering to create mice that show no fear of felines, a development that may shed new light on mammal behavior and the nature of fear itself.

These scientists are playing with fire and we are all going to get burned if they don't stop their interference.

lol Rochelle reminds me of the joke in heaven of the mice on roller skates, and the cats meals on wheels...

Seriously scientists are playing with our natural earth too much...all this mixing animals and cloning is getting out of hand...next we will have them creating children who have no fear.of danger.....grrrrrrrrrrr

I have no idea what those scientists trying to prove... Alright, I admit they are smart and intelligent... But i doubt they will stop experimenting on those non-human subjects. Cool idea for a second but think about it's totally pointless!

Seems to me this fearless thing could help make a neoCON army more likely...
