# Humans Must Reject Genetic Determinism in the New Millennium. How society
regulates human genetic cloning/engineering, and shapes the ethics that
envelop the process, will be the defining legal/philosophical issue of the
next half-century. http://sltrib.com/2000/feb/02062000/commenta/23559.htm
# I wish to clone myself. With the coming genetic revolution, we can direct
our own evolution: http://nationalpost.com/commentary.asp?f=000207/197221
: Have you reengineered/cloned/reproduced yourself lately? Is your 'copy'
superior/inferior/equal to you, legally/physically/mentally/morally? Are you
superior/inferior/equal to other lifeforms [human/animal/vegetable/alien]??
What legal status should any lifeform have? How d'ya determine that? When?
# DNA chips. DNA, the genetic material that holds the secrets of all living
creatures, could replace silicon chips in computers and prove more econo-
mical, as 1 gram of the material could store the equivalent of a trillion
CD-Roms of information. http://www.timesofindia.com/070200/07hlth2.htm

@ Bruce H.G. Calder's THIS-DAY-IN-HISTORY - US - 8 Feb 1964. The Beatles fly
to New York's Kennedy airport & meet their most enthusiastic reception to
date. Whetted by DJs who have been giving constant updates on the Beatles'
Pan Am flight 101, thousands of teenagers pack the airport for glimpses
of the Fab Four, and to scream scream scream of course. Kids break through
a police cordon & form a motorcade which follows the Mop-Topped Rock Stars
to the Plaza Hotel. "I want to hold your hand" has gone right to the top
of the charts & tomorrow, the Beatles will appear on the Ed Sullivan Show.

# Genetic discrimination ban sought. WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres. Clinton plans
to sign an executive order barring federal agencies from discriminating
against workers on the basis of genetic tests, a step prompted by fears
about rapid advances in scientific research. All genes are created equal,
eh? http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564014735-259
# CDC declares 'homophobia' health risk - and they should know, eh?
http://worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_chastain/20000207_xcjch_cdc_declar.shtml
: Should society/humanity be shielded from folks genetically prone to farts,
fascism, hemophilia, homophobia, violence, violins, powergrubbing,pomposity?
Who should scrape scum from genepools? Who decides? Should you be filtered?
# Are computers taking us into the unknown? Some futurists say technology is
advancing so quickly it'll soon change us beyond recognition. Transhuman:

# LUCID DREAMING: JOURNEY INTO THE MIND'S LANDSCAPE. Researchers have found
that lucid dreaming, learning to control what you dream, can make you more
than just an observer in your own dreams. It might even have therapeutic
uses someday. www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=26933
# Study Stresses the Importance of Stimulation in Brain Development - and
unused neurons suicide: http://dallasnews.com/science/26997_BRAIN07.html
: Are your mind/brain/psyche/soul well-developed? Were/are they adequately
stimulated/simulated? Are they atrophying/suiciding from disuse? Should they
engage in real/virtual exercises? How much can your head bench-press? Why?

# The Sun's magnetic field morphs constantly -- but it has a remarkable
memory for past shapes, and recreates them in a regular cycle. I wish I
could do that: http://explorezone.com/archives/00_02/03_sun_memory.htm
And see http://space.com/science/solarsystem/solar_magnetic_000202.html
: Do you prefer stars to be cyclical, evolving, crystalline/fixed, sentient?
What's your favorite star? Do white dwarf stars have inferiority complexes?
Do they resent red giants? Do you? Are you a white dwarf? How's your memory?

# Burmese junta uses Net to increase power. You wanna get online? That will
cost 2 years' average salary for the hook-up fee & a decade's wages for a
year's dial-up subscription. Cost of having an unlicensed computer/modem:
up to 15 years in jail. Welcome to the Internet in Myanmar (Burma), where
recent add-ons to a 1996 computer law reflect an increasingly nervous
military regime's determination to fend off the "democracy technology".
