Researchers announce lab mice are now 100% free of all diseases

Researchers at the University of Southern California today announced that, according to lists of diseases published by the American Rodent Association, "viable cures" had been found for all diseases affecting white laboratory mice.

Although many of the diseases were first inflicted upon mice by human researchers seeking to understand human diseases, analogous cures for humans remain elusive.

Mouse advocate Gerry Hanford of Leeds, UK noted,"The community of mouse advocates welcomes this news with open arms. Mice are now well equipped to enter the new century of pandemic, superpowered, human pathogens, and emerge as the new dominant species on the planet."
