Mixing two of the greatest cosmic forces in the universe; lolis and kittens. What has science done, besides ensuring that my 50's will be fondly remembered before I die. God bless the United Kingdom.

There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

...this sounds like a real Pandora's box that maybe should not be opened. Opinions?

 

 

While I will have to learn more about exactly what they are attempting, my first, gut reaction is that they should proceed with great caution and make sure to watch out for radical assassins. :ermm:

Hmmm... playboy bunnies :ermm:

 

So, we could create a race made with the strength and stamina of an ox and the IQ of 50, just enough to understand basic instructions. Like "Dig!", "Kill!", "Lift!"...

 

Time to place bets, who revolts first, the hybrids or the AI's?

No doubt. They don't even make good cars.

I have already sold my soul for boobies mouse pad and even then I had to use all of my bargaining skills. :unsure:

 

So this was just dumb luck? Or did you pawn something else? I'd say dignity, but I'm guessing that went when you cosplayed Tenchi Muyo's Ryo-ohki at that anime convention.

It's only embryos. Why not?

 

People worried that test-tube babies would be a Pandora's Box, but it hasn't happened. I think proceeding with caution is the right thing to do, and this research will be heavily monitored and regulated by the government.

I remember being like ten or eleven, and being told at school about test tube babies and the controversy associated with them. I didn't understood at all why anyone would complain about it.

With food crisis the world is presently facing, unfortunately its the fastest and efficient method (With unknown consequence) to be a viable solution without facing prolonged mass starvation.

 

GM food are common in Singapore to the point there is no need to brand them as GM food. So far, nothing tragic happended to any of us yet.

The furries are going to be really happy about this.

 

And that REALLY creeps me out.

I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

I've been following this for a few years, and as far as I understand it, the scientists will only be performing experiments on and testing the viability of stem cells extracted from the embryos. None will be allowed to develop to term (not that they could survive that long anyway). We avoid a furry revolution for a few years more.

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

'M with you there all the way. Certain persons seem to find it far more of an abomination that a child can be born in a lab than in a slum.

Though let's face it: wings CAN be pretty handy.

Frankly, after so many years of the internet I was hoping for tentacles.
