Lab Develops Artificial Womb

Meowharishi writes: "According to this article at the Observer, scientists from Cornell University have successfully developed the first artificial womb. Embroys successfully attached themselves to the walls of these wombs and began to grow but were terminated to comply with regulations. Developments like this really offer tremendous opportunities for creating a family for those who cannot have children the old fashioned way."

    ... and thought it was about a lab developing an artificial worm!

    I figured it was something to do with astroturf :-)

    Muslims will do many "Un-Islamic" things (lying, murder, torture, rape, hating, hygenic changes, etc.) in the name of serving Allah and Islam. It's simply another means to an end. Many religious groups at the end of the day (Christians, Muslims, Scientologists) excuse off their poor behavior with excuses of "I did it for...", "I was called to...", etc. The crusaders killed in the name of God, now the muslims kill in the name of Allah because of the crusades. Doing wrong is so easy to justify when you just don't care to be correct.

    Saying Saddam Hussain is a Muslim is like saying Osama bin Ladin is a Muslim.

    Both practice some very un-Koranic things.

    Murder, assasination for both.

    Torture, rape and genocide for Saddam.

    I'm sure if these "wombs" have Saddam an edge he would bust his ass and his nation to get them on-line.

    As for the USA breeding patriotic clones, I don't know that anyone has found a gene for that yet, let me know when they do.

    The United States doesn't push it's way of life, it just gets accepted by everyone. Last I checked, the United States hadn't started a war to push it's culture, not like the United Kingdom did so it could sell opium in China.

    The majority of Americans, including the President and most members of State and Federal elected officals don't care about the rest of the world.

    If Europe and Asia go to American movies and McDonalds, it's not our fault.

    yeah, right, a very small percentage of women cant give birth. It's pretty dang obvious that this new "development" will be abused for homosexual/unnatural/immoral purposes. Why dont you just shove your horseshit up your own ass; cockwipe.
