Artificial Life
« on: May 21, 2010, 02:20:41 PM »
Well!! IVF, GM crops, cloning and now this! Oh and the Toyota Prius.

I must admit when I heard this on the news last night my first reaction was "How amazing!". Then I worried. If these guys can make stuff in a compooter that upsets the Pope (deffo!Just you wait for it.) that is fine, but if it can reproduce billions of times I do fret a bit about what this shite might, well, do, like.

I have no problem with cloning. If they can make enough Anna Friels/George Clooneys* to go around that seems to me a significant advance  cloud9:


But what do we think? I rely on the VP for my best ideas as I slide into senile decay.
