    Cripes.

    Geo. W. Bush, The Religious Right and The Catholic Church is going to go nuts on this, because:

    1. They shouldn't have done it.
    2. If they abort any in progress or kill any it's murder.

    Chimeras actually occur in nature. As to moral bankruptcy, I think the West long ago paved the way in that regard.

    Please leave any and all advanced research which might lead to breakthoughs at the door, on your way in. We don't understand what stem cells really are, but our media tells us they're "bad" and we believe 'em, so get ready all you scientists to be told what you can and cannot do by people who are at least an order of magnitude dumber than you are.

    Oh, and by the way, forget that, through stem cell research, a woman in Korea who hadn't walked in 20 years was able to regenerate enough tissue to walk again... so lets leave all of the potential behind and put all of our energy in prayin' ta JE-SUS for health, 'cuz we all know *THAT* a hell of a lot more effective than any of those old gee-netics them scientists have.

    Thank goodness I'm an atheist. :)

    "If Japan discovered curative agents during some of the shit they pulled during WWII on American POWs"

    American POWs?!! How about all the shit they pulled on the Chinese. Rape. Mutilation. Biochemical experiments. They killed and experimented on FAR more Chinese than Americans. Estimated up to and possibly more than 6 millions Chinese died to the Japanese. That's more than all those Jews that died in the concentration camps. American POWs...How self-absorbed...
