There are problems with the mouse utopia article, to be sure, some of which are more implied than stated, and some of which are easily inferred. I hope it will promote lively debate on the letters pages. The thrust of the article is whether the selective pressures society places on human evolution put us on a positive trajectory, something about which I've thought often, and I don't think it can be easily dismissed. Nor do I think talk of political partisanism or eugenics is particularly helpful in discussing the article, emotive though the subject may be.
