    At the same time, a lot of places aren’t going to let scientists test on something closer to humans without something clearly showing a reason for it. The ethics board would wonder why they didn’t try it on mice first, and wouldn’t approve anything else.

    That they found an effect in mice would be good justification to move up a step. If there was no effect, then that would be the end of that.
