I was doing a little research on post modernist studies at the University of Washington and I came across a lecture series in post modernist thoughts. The title of one of the lectures was, Should Lesbians consider cloning?
Jerry Pournelle used the idea in the War World series in the late 80’s.
There is nothing new about the idea, just the technical ability has matured.
Regardless of the method used to get them here, the results of this and all “abnormal” human derived reproduction WILL BE HUMAN and must be guaranteed all the human rights and protections afforded the rest of us.
To fail to do so will make us the monsters, not these children of men.
I hope these jackasses aren’t receiving any U.S. taxpayer dollars to figure out an expensive way of doing something that we can already do for free.
Valerie Solanas ping.
No thanks, I like women.
And, may I say, a whole lot more fun.
many scientists are real dummys, trying to play God with all of their knowledge.
Me too :-)
Even if being homosexual is genetic it’s genitically incorrect, an abberation.
Why are scientists willing to pollute the species by perpetuating a genetic defect? Isn’t there any ethics against that?
For all we know homosexuality is on the Darwinian downside and will vanish in the future.
:-) Good one! i wish these scientists would work on something important - like curing cancer. Besides, I like the way God designed it.
Thanks for the ping & a bump.
Your willful, commonsense and entirely logical statement may cause you to be prosecuted under Hate Crime statutes.
Why are scientists willing to pollute the species by perpetuating a genetic defect?
Because they are able to get grant money to do it, journals will publish their white papers on the subject and provide subsequent career enhancement, and they get invited to all of the 'right' cocktail parties.
Isn’t there any ethics against that?
Ethics are politically-incorrect.
For all we know homosexuality is on the Darwinian downside and will vanish in the future.
It would indeed vanish a whole lot faster if it were not for the fact that it's being propped up by Governments and sympathetic "scientists".
You're quite welcome, and thank you very much for pinging your list :-)
Are they not going to end up with a cloned person? If you use your own marrow, it’s going to be genetically identical to you. I thought cloning people had been banned in the UK and USA.
I mean, they can say it’s fertility treatments, but it really is cloning.
That’ll never work. Who are women going to take to court to get them to support them and the baby?
Have they got a DNA answer for that one?
It is not genetic. If it was then identical twins would always both be gay 100% of the time. They are not. If one is gay, there’s a 50% chance the other will be. The fact they are not 100% of the time, but a much lower 50% of the time, proves it is not merely genetic. Plus self testimony from lesbians and gays who admit making a conscious choice to be a homosexual.
I mean, they can say it’s fertility treatments, but it really is cloning.
But if they repackage and redefine it, then it becomes legal....providing they can prevent those nosey pro-lifers, religious people and those Evil Conservatives from finding out about it....they spoil all of our fun......
(hopefully I won't be needing to add a "sarcasm" tag to that......)
