LOL.
The thing that bothers me most is that they are currently experimenting on other animals. This is copied directly from their FAQ section:
Are You Considering Making Other Animals Glow?
Yes, we are also working on rats, hamsters, gerbils, ball pythons, and other animals. Although, these animals may not be available commercially for quite some time.
i wouldent mnd taking the guy/girl who invented that and stick them into a tiny dog cage and hit them with needles to turn them glo in the dark
They look like they are dying. They're eye sockets look empty they're nails are bending and curved and they also look like they lack fur. Radiation poisoning.....
its not radiation but gene splicing. I have heard of this before, i just can't remember exactly what they spliced in. Doesn't harm the mouse necissarly.

I knew it wasn't radiation, I was just refering to the hairlessness, but they are other abnormalities to the mice. I wonder if the fact that they are hairless (and what looks in some pictures, eyeless) was done so that you could see the skin. I am now going to look it up.
Either way thats animal abuse

By using an innocuous virus derived from HIV, scientists at the California Institute of Technology have developed a new way of giving animals genes from other organisms to produce specific traits.
Termed transgenic animals, they are important to progress in biological research and have a wide range of potential benefits in human health, agriculture, and many other fields.

The paw of a mouse (in ordinary light on the left) glows when seen under fluorescent light (image on right), demonstrating that the animal's body cells contain a gene from a jellyfish. The dark image in the center is of a paw of a mouse that has not been "infected" with the jellyfish glowing material and therefore it remains dark under fluorescent light. Researchers found that the successful transfer of the jellyfish gene to mice made almost all tissues of the animal fluorescent
