Why? As mentioned, one of the chimera was a pig that had human blood. Pigs (or other critters) with effectively human organs would make marvelous hervestable sources of blood, organs, tissues, etc. Make a critter that does nothing but spit out human stem cells, and you'd really have something useful.
A mouse with a brain made from human brain cells would not have a human brain. It would still be packed within the mouses small skull, and would be mouse-dumb. It would, however, likely be suseptible to human brain disorders such as Alzheimers and the like, and thus treatments that work on a mouse would be directly transferable to humans.

Here's a translation guide:
"Bark! Bark! Bark! Woof! Bark!"
equals
"Hey! Hey! Hey! The thing! Hey!"

"I would really like to have a conversation with my dog."
All mine would do is bitch, bitch, bitch.

"Then the situation arrouses in which individuals begin to question the rights of these animals, stating that they are human, and thus have the rights that humans do. In other words, the ACLU would have a fit and ban any further testing on any such "tlaking mouse""
That irrelevant. Within 10 years there will be a complete ban on lab testing on any animal, let alone "talking mice". According to PETA even worms have feelings.

After the blood and organs were harvested, you could harvest the bacon and chops too...

It will force us to reexamine our colossal arrogance in imagining that we are utterly different from, and inherently far above "animals". Not a bad thing IMO. Facing the truth is always healthy.

Imagine the advantages if a humanly speaking mouse could talk and tell all the symptoms of the treatment it is experiencing.I'm aghast imagining it screaming and pleading for help as some snickering lab tech injects all sorts of viruses and poisons into it's system expecting to hear it describe the experience.

My guess is a scientist who wants to cross a human with a mouse.

Weissman is considering a follow-up that would produce mice whose brains are 100% human
Why the hell would we want that??? This Weissman sounds like a mad scientist.Why, of course, to produce an unlimited supply of 'Rat voters!
