Rats, not mice, the former being quite a bit smarter :) But is there any reason to assume our human empathy comes from a different base urge than theirs? If so, why can’t both situations share the term empathy?
I guess thats true, it still kinda depends on whether its an instinctual behaviour or an actual selfless decision. The outcome might be the same, but the motivation does make a difference when it comes to human relationships imo.
