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.

In reply to: Bin! 's message, "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." on 21:04:49 07/24/01 Tue
