Dear all who ponder "messing with science";
Short of Soylent Green, I prefer most scientific advances. Especially cars, homes heated with refined petroleum, flipping on the switch to see in the dark... I have been known to enjoy a good aspirin now and then, and a refined caffeine product called coffee (not to mention the creamy glazed donuts)! If science and messing with "natural selection" can double my life span as it does now....I doubt I go back to living in trees and eating roots, berries, and scrounging lion kills...........
Selected,
Dave F.

Hi List,
I have to ask, is it right to mess with "mother nature"? From the beginning of time cosmic events have been part of nature. If "mother nature" thinks
it's time for mankind to end, then do we have the right to stop it?
Natural disasters are part of life, we will never stop earthquakes,
tornados, tidal waves, hurricanes or volcano's, because we can not, should we stop asteroids just because we can? I say, let nature take it's coarse!
: )  Heck, if it were not for asteroids, we would be watching out for
T-rex's when ever we went out to the store for milk! Mother nature knows what she's doing, let her do her thing! Any women right activists out there
to give an opinion on this?
Thanks, Tom
