Well, at age 51, I had better adopt children, rather than try to create them.

DANG!

Our genetic integrity has been in decline since Adam and Eve.

Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us all matter and energy tend toward disorder.

Isn’t this what cancer cells are? I thought everyone had cancer cells, but they are usually benign.

[Leep]

Zombie cells are the worst.

Mutant.

Like my neighbor Steve.

Steve! Keep your stinking leaves off my lawn! You mutant, you!

I’ve heard this for many years. Whether the “mutant” cells cause a problem or not depends on your immune system.

And disorder is gaining velocity, accelerating at an exponential rate.

Soon our descendants will all be deformed, grotesque versions of humanity.

Thank goodness the vast majority of humans have not arrived at this state yet. < /sarcasm >

Dude, that’s NOT the spirit. Look at Strom Thurmond. He was fathering kids well past 70. Mick Jagger too. What have they got that you haven’t got?

I figure I have some percentage of most maladies present from birth and that it’s when some of them take ascendance, suffering ensues. It would surprise me if anyone has no physical ‘daggers,’ just as I firmly believe everyone has at least one mental hangup of some sort.

[antidemoncrat]

Re: “Whether the “mutant” cells cause a problem or not depends on your immune system.”

Unless your immune system cells have also mutated?

I think we have reached the point - in every scientific field - where research cannot make much progress until we can image molecular processes in real time.

That is why the dead are planted as soon as possible. This is hardly a finding for recent knowledge, is it?

[YogicCowboy]

Bingo!

An ancestor of mine who fought in the Revolutionary War had 21 children by 3 wives. He died at the age of 78. His youngest child was 4 years old at the time.

Three months on a low-radical, high-antioxidant diet, without alcohol, may clean up the sperm remarkably. Celery, asparagus, oatstraw, moringa, are a few suggestions.
