They know it is mentally ill with schizophrenia because it reports hearing the voice of Mickey Mouse:

"Ha, ha, Pluto, we must take over the world's supply of Cheese Whiz"

Scientists Breed World's First Mentally Ill Mouse

Hell -- the US has that down to a science and has for years, and we don't have to breed them.
We make them in Congress !!

I have firsthand knowledge of this; my daughter is severely mentally retarded due to a brain disorder known as Angelman Syndrome, which is a result of a piece of a chromosome deleted, and then the chromosome replicates abnormally in the brain. This leads to severe retardation.

I recently attended a conference where research scientists wer discussing "mouse models". ,p> This is a procedure where mouse eggs are retrieved, the piece of the chromosome is extracted and the egg is fertilized normally. You wind up with a mentally retarded mouse that exhibits many of the characteristics of Angelman Syndrome.

The goal is gene replacement therapy, which essentially would allow the generation of a certain protein that is responsible for synapse firing in the brain neurons; or at the very least a drug that could enable the synapse to fire.

Mouse models are be studied for a variety of mental disorders.

Tens of millions of mentally ill socialists are being bred at our universities.

Now big brother can just genetically-engineer it.
