It’s like firemen putting out a fire they started and it takes years for them to figure out how to work the hose.
Mice are so fortunate to have had cancer and diabetes cured for them.

Scientists don’t wait for mice to get cancer, then cure the cancer. That would be inefficient. They just force the mouse to get cancer instead. And cures are tested based on how quickly the mice die to the cancer with or without the drug

Well it’s not like you can bring your pet rat to the vet and they’ll cure it. You speak of lab rats, which were given cancer in the first place, and a lot of them weren’t cured as trials mostly fail. Fortunate? I really don’t see how.
