Question

A student reads the article ""Autoimmune Diseases Stopped in Mice"" and claims that this research will revolutionize treatment for autoimmune disorders in just a few years. Do you think there is adequate information in the article to scientifically support this claim? Why or why not?

Answer 1

NO

Step-by-step explanation: While this study was successful in mice, it’s unknown whether it will be successful in humans. And if it is possible to replicate this treatment in humans, it’s unknown how long it will take. Therefore, it’s unlikely that this research will revolutionize the treatment of autoimmune disorders in just a few years.

Answer 2

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific research is based on data from experiments and observations. Before scientific research is publicized or presented in a journal, it is tested for its authenticity. Hence, we can believe that the article will revolutionize treatment for autoimmune disorders in just a few years. Their article will lead to other scientists also having this direction and hence it might happen.

As the genome of the mice is 99% similar to humans which is another reason to support this claim.
