I have very limited understanding of the technical aspects of this, but
have a question about the weaning details. Who decided when the mice were
to wean, the humans or the mouse mothers? That also, in conjunction with
whether the weaning was gradual (normal) or abrupt (abnormal) probably
needs to be considered. If one were to extrapolate to humans, can we infer
that our current cultural practices of severly limiting breastfeeding
duration and rapid weaning to conform to those social expectations puts
our mothers at greater risk? How about those mothers who wean their babies
at birth or within the first two weeks? Were they looking to prove that
lactation is in fact risky, or the abrupt cessation of a normal body
procedure (for lack of a better word)? Just curious...
