"Are we not men...?"
"Swine Folk?" Was it a Muslim island?
These aren't retouched.
"What would be the moral status, for example, of the human-animal chimera?"
It's hard to believe this Sci Fi nightmare is really happening.
I remember the Island of Doctor Moreau--quite powerful and revolting. Everyone should read it, because it is really relevant now. I won't however. I am already sick enough about this.
I trust this will not happen in the US. Even if we convinced countries like S. Korea not to do it, however, I am certain the Russians and Chinese will do it in secret.
Except I forgot. That nice man Putin is in charge of Russia now---all bad communists gone away. I notice he just put his latest leading potential political rival in jail, or started an investigation.
Sarcasm aside, it is a known fact the Russians had extensive biological research going on, and the facilities are still there and apparently operating. I don't think they ever even denied that they continue biowarfare research.
Another tower of Babel attempt my man.....

Hillery! Clinton, part man, part woman, all animal!
Blurs the line between demonists and commucrats.
Bites the heads off journalists with a single swipe of
her razorsharp teeth.
Science will not be satisfied until "it" replaces God's creations with its own. There is NO logical or rational justification for tampering with human life. You can't improve on perfection.

Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
These Boston-based scientists -- Eric Lander, James J. Collins, and Douglas A. Melton -- are at the vanguard of upheaval in life sciences as biologists become increasingly systematic in figuring out what makes people sick or healthy. Armed with a complete readout of human genes and increasing ability to make cells do what they want, they say scientists are only years away from once unthinkable goals such as cataloguing all the genes that cause cancer and learning to create all forms of human tissue in a petri dish....But Melton, a Harvard embryologist who works with stem cells from human embryos, said the new world of biology will raise challenging ethical questions as scientists get better at manipulating life. He said researchers already have crossed a sheep with a goat and he predicted it would be only a matter of time before human-animal hybrids are created.
He envisioned a day when, after transplanting human stem cells into a monkey's brain, "you walk into a lab in 2090 and the monkey says, 'Good morning.' " Would such a creature be a human or a monkey, and what rights should it have, he asked. (emphasis added)
Welcome to the Brave New World of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
You know I havent really completely formed my opinion on this yet, but that part about the chimpanzees made me think about Planet of the Apes :) We make em smarter and we might be the animals! EEK!
I feel like collapsing on a beach now yelling at a partially buried Statue of Liberty.
Its getting to the point a guy can't have any fun anymore.
Mercifully, I'll be dead before that happens.
Do you ever listen to late night AM radio - "coast to coast am" with George Noury? (he's a maronite 'in name only'). One discussion the other night on time travel, had him saying that he would like to go back to the time of Christ to see what 'magic' he used to perform the 'purported' miracles.
One tolerates this nonsense to a finite limit, at which point it often becomes necessary to turn off the radio, close the newspaper, click of the tv and begin praying for these lost souls. There is great beauty in the "sounds of silence". That is where God speaks to man.
Not retouched?
No,it may not be "retouched. But you said nothing about "photoshopped" did you?
Aw crap, I already only speak English, if He messes with the languages again I might not be able to read the ingredients on my groceries anymore!
So...uh...this hermaphrodite wolfman...you wouldn't have her number, would you?
