Let me see if I understand this: The rat feels guilty over its lifestyle choices, and in an effort to atone, sidles up to the nearest cat. Does that about sum up the argument?
To: blam
giving them a suicidal attraction to cats.25% of humans are suicidally attracted to cats??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

In populations where this parasite is very common, mass personality modification could result in cultural change." He suggests that attitudes to ego, money, material wealth, work and rules may be affected by the parasite.
Those infected by T. gondii are prone to guilt. It has been shown that, in rats at least, this helps the parasite to complete its life-cycle.
Liberal women explained. ;)

This confirms what I've thought all along that you'd have to be crazy to own a cat.
To: blam
This cat-hating thread title is a little misleading. :-(

Many deseases/conditions have been found to have a biological infection cause.
To: GeronL
Yeah, I guess it actually would be proper to read it that way. Fear not, it only effects rats, democ ones or otherwise.

Earlier research at Imperial College London suggested that the parasite may also trigger schizophrenia. It showed that anti--psychotic drugs used to treat the illness prevented changes in the behaviour of democrats that were infected with the parasite.
