Tokyo University Researchers Remove Fear in Mammals, almost

Scientists at Japan's best, Tokyo University, have altered the genes in mice so that the little Jerry's are no longer afraid of the Toms.

the mice don't run. The cats don't have to chase their prey to eat them.

Receptors in the olfactory bulb in the brain of the mice were shut down.

No smelling = no panic. 

The result - new proverbs need to be written - While the cat is NOT away, the mice play together with him.

The conclusion - sense of smell is what causes animals to fear other animals.

Now researchers are wondering if other mammals can be reprogrammed to not be afraid. 

In that case the lion and the lamb will lay down with one another before heaven.

I've always thought a good wholesome sense of fear was not a bad thing.

Keeps us from getting eaten.

When are you afraid?
