Wow, the things that you learn... Well I have just learned about this now and I think that quite frankly it is very scary. What bothers me the most is that if they could do it to rats, could they do it to higher organisms? (Such as apes or perhaps even humans?) Also I am afraid that the military will be using this technology rather exclusively, my case in point the atomic bomb. Einstein never intended for it to be used as a weapon, he thought it could be a way for people to get an inexpensive source of energy. So I guess there is really only one way to see if they will use it for military purposes - wait for a rat strapped with a camera to sneak into your shower!
