I choose what, I choose where and either your kidneys work or you grow a 6th finger. I DO THAT. Now you spot God, you let me know. Until then ... I'll trust my Ph.D's."
red planet sucked
mission to mars was better, but even that movie had its bad moments.....
And I'm kinda against genetic research. I'm sure it can provide alot of cures (maybe diabetis, alsimers, etc), but then again, look at some of the medication we have now: It kinda 'helps' but then it gives you this list of side-effects that makes you wish you
weren't taking it to begin with. If stem-cell research gives us answers like that, its a wasted industry, IMO.
Again, it goes back to peoples fear of death. We don't want to face up to the reality of, eventually, we will die. Its a matter of how and when.
