I was under the impression they used mice for experiments, because their reproductive cycle is a lot quicker then rats. But I could be wrong. But they are a close match to us bipeds genetically as stated above.

I can not think of any other reason for rats to be on this earth, except for animal experiments. They also multiply like crazy.

our society has forgotten the value of human life. I believe every life has meaning and purpose, and that the termination of life is taken too lightly in our country today. Abortion ends a human life. It destroys an individual who could have lived, worked, and contributed to our society. And has wiped out nearly an entire generation. I believe we should strive to fully embrace a culture of life through our national politics. I will continue to fight to protect life at every stage. I hope that one day America will remember the value we once placed on human life

if objective is same anatomy, use the rat. if the experiment related to intelligent, use monkey instead. rat is much cheaper than monkey.
