Don't scientists watch animated movies? Do they not know what they're getting into?

Being the nerd that I am, when I read the story about Mice engineered with gene for human speech(io9) I immediately thought of The Secret of Nimh. If I am remembering correctly The Secret of Nimh revolved around a group of mice and rats who had escaped their lab imprisonment where they were made extra smart and given the capacity for speech and planning as they battled each other over the rats' idea that humans should be taken out.
So scientists today have engineered transgenetic mice with the gene for human speech. They have made the first step in a chain of events that is going to take away Mrs. Brisby's home and put her children in danger! Not to mention that if the outnumbered and well meaning among the small animal world don't succeed, the rat's are going to rise up, steal our electricity and murder us all! How can we let some lab coat buffoons put us all in danger like this without censuring them? Is anyone keeping tabs on these crazy scientific advancements?
