maybe see the article last eve posted on FR about scientists altering mice to make two female mice reproduce, can’t do that sort of stuff with just photos, but can do it monkeying around with DNA and a database allows access to all sorts of similar maybe seemingly good but truly harmful events to people and animals.

can’t do that sort of stuff with just photos, but can do it monkeying around with DNA and a database allows access to all sorts of similar maybe seemingly good but truly harmful events to people and animals.

How does a database facilitate experimentation other than by conjecture on your part? That’s like saying a database of drivers licenses facilitates car theft.

Seems to me this is just another case of fearing something new without a realistic evaluation of what it can actually be used for.

Anyone remember “backward masking?” For all the hysteria that was raised did any of the hysterics ever investigate if the human brain was ever capable of receiving a reversed auditory message?
