To: Richard Mazzarella who wrote (59580 ) 10/10/2000 12:48:16 AM From: d:oug Respond to of 116753 Richard, To me articles of "The World Gone Mad" are on topic here. Before I comment on the Pig w/Human or Human w/Pig(aka prez ClinSin) I have to do a mental puke so as to try and remove from my head that for-prez debate between gore & bush last week. Its ok to have people in one's hire to do chores and stuff just so that they are not slaves or forced under pressure to demean themselves. But to make a long story short, after viewing what was only ten minutes to present a complete description of what took place in the 1-2 hour debate, I felt that I had a person lowered to a level where one has to observe the opposite of Man reaching for greatness. If I remember correctly your age is 10-20 over my 55 which places you at the young age in either World War II or the Korean War. I mention this because as I watched gore and bush spit out from memory political speeches created by their hacks to con the American people, I knew that those American soldiers in these and previous wars of WWI etc. did not fight for "this" but for freedom of thought and speech, where freedom of speech must transcend to all citizens no matter their role. By this I mean that when a private citizen is elected to government office that he or she must continue to honor what the troops fought for and keep honestly and good faith in their speech after obtaining an governemnt position. If I was a WWI or WWII veteran I would have felt that the lives and suffering was not made so that 2 men can make a mockery of the freedom obtained through warfare caused by Good against Evil. That story has in it someplace a message like "guns don't kill people, people kill people" because to me advances in any of the sciences, technologies, art or whatever a human mind can create using the power of thoughts to understand and explore and discover about life in itself is ok to do with the understanding that good v evil then is needed to decide how it can be deal with. This article is to me a news story with a slant to identify learning about biology as evil, which means biology is evil. A gun is not evil, just as a knife or car or hulla hoop or a bumble bee or the spoken language of the naked body of a woman is not evil, but all of these can be used in ways to appear evil. and on and on....... doug doing a Goodbye JACK! postingsunday-times.co.uk Cloning teams cross pig and human DNA ... an embryonic pig-human hybrid ... could have been grown further by being implanted into a womb - and that either a pig or a human mother would have been suitable. ... intentions of the researchers are not made clear ... have submitted to the European Patent Office. ... said: "This kind of research depends on devaluing human beings." ... hybrid embryos could have be-come living beings. They would be much more human than pig because about 97% of DNA is in the nucleus, which was human. There would, however, be some effect from the 3% of DNA from the pig.
