This story, albeit interesting, doesn't really mean anything for the future of human children.  There are way too many differences between mice and humans to extrapolate success from one species to another.  Want an example???

C-L-O-N-I-N-G.

 

Look it up.  It has been done in several animal species but is yet to be accomplished in humans.

 

Peace out. 

The main difference in doing it in animals and humans is the ethics and the scales of the study. How many mice did they attempt this in before they were successful?

Human ehtics means that any studies of this nature in humans are very rare and unlikely to work even if the science itself is still sound.
