Moving on - pick up the July issue of Discover magazine. Several articles in there of a vaguely disturbing nature: 1) Prozac and other anti-depressants actually cause permanent physical change to your brain. 2) Computer tech has advanced to such a degree that humans are no longer required in movie acting roles (sorry, Eddie...).

Well aren't you a bundle of joy!? :) LOL jus' kiddin' Gumtree. If we ignore it- it wont go away. What we don't know WILL hurt us.. and other cliches. I replied about this stem cell/abortion thing on the white board. As for Prozac, yeah. Well, we coulda guessed it. But as Eddie says: even cellophane causes cancer and we still put it on sandwiches. There is only so much one can stay away from. Dopamine or Deaaaaath? (NT) -- Bin!, 20:28:38 07/24/01 Tue

Yah - these weasly Republicans must be watched...and in the meantime, we're all taking our pills, happily watching flics like "Final Fantasy" that has NOT ONE human being in it...incredible! (NT) -- gumtree (not wanting to be DEPRESSING, but...), 20:35:50 07/24/01 Tue
- well.. actually I think it is incredible. I love computers. Everything in progession has a positive and negative side. I think it's pretty cool how real they look. If they displace actors, well then they will have to find something else to do. Everything happens for a reason, and I maintain that. (NT) -- Bin!, 21:04:49 07/24/01 Tue
  - I have to say I'm very ambivalent about the whole cloning/stem cell research/ genetically altered foods stuff. On the one hand, especially in the stem cell issue, there is such human suffering and illness that affects loved ones and I am pinning hope on a cure. But on the other hand, there is something Frankensteinlike about all this tinkering with the natural life process and we are starting to play God, yet wisdom seems in short supply.

    - Yes, there is a lot of pain and suffering and disease in the world. No, I do not believe that genetic reserch is the answer. I believe that we should treat the CAUSE of disease first. (NT) -- Magenta, once more into the breach!!, 13:40:18 07/25/01 Wed
      - Okay - what causes AIDS? Cancer? Altzheimers? The only progress we have made in combating these diseases has been through genetic research. (NT) -- gumtree, 13:30:59 07/26/01 Thu
