Unless you properly freeze the teeth the stem cells will probably be quite dead a few days after the teeth is pulled, not to mention a few decades later when stem cells might be in need.
This is perfectly in line with Standard Superpower Policy. The superpower(s) will always strive to maintain and crystallize the status quo. And in the grand quest of doing so they will continually mess shit up while stacking layers of beurocracy on beurocracy until what should be an hourglass shaped hierarchy looks more like a pyramid balancing on its top.
Big fucking suprise things reach a tipping point with such a distribution of mass.
Considering the pathetic performance of OPK, the native finn, against the iphone of US-led apple fame i'm not overly sure it's a bad move. Either way nokia bloody well needs new blood.
In Sweden everything that a woman can find offensive is a molestation charge. And if they have consentual sex while mutually pissing drunk, then it's rape.
This is more or less the consequences of senior socialist politicians getting too much power, enabling them to take their reality-detached feminist education pet projects too far. The swedish political system is similar to the US. In the us you either chose between the elephant right wing or the donkey right wing. In sweden you chose between the blue socialists or the red socialists, though of course, the red socialists have had two decades in power so they've been able to entrench the country with their north korean style indoctrination for a while now so things are even more stagnated.
Also, we have to design a processor which either use wireless wiring between all gates or only have straight-shortest-possible-path connections between everything.
It will also need to use instant quantum-FTL communication between harddrives, ram and GPU to not make it a massively bottlenecked waste of performance.
If the officers don't like you, they'll peek at you naked with this device and then arrest you for undecent public exposure.
Next up in law enforcement technology: Directed transcranial magnetic stimulation to disable the visual cortex of bystanders to prevent criminals from identifying those who protect us, dualing in its use for making criminals confess all crimes they are accused for.
It may be worth pointing out that this cycle of destruction of embryos that never implant in the uterus happens naturally in vivo all the time. Simply due to random chance, fertilized eggs will cease dividing from time to time. This dead end egg will then be discarded at the next menstruation without manifesting any symptoms of pregnancy whatsoever. It's only after a month, when the egg, if having come as far, have implanted itself in the wall of the uterus that spontaenous abortions will give any noticable effects.
To be honest my post was intended as a cheap shot on sweden and promotion for nuclear energy, it was never intended to be a factually accurate post as comparing small scale biogas intended for vehicles with nuclear power intended for large scale electricity generation by just looking at the initial construction costs don't say a lot about the overall viability. To get an accurate picture it's required to do an in depth analysis of the plants entire lifecycle, which is a bit more ambitious than just doing a big post.
That said, i still belive nuclear to be one of the most viable energy production methods for several reasons: It's compact, it have very long lifetimes under which upgrades is possible to increase energy yield. It is a very reliable method for energy production with low levels of pollution. The waste problem is a small issue, for the moment, because nuclear waste is not really waste; it's perfectly possible to use it for further energy generation with the proper reactor design.
As for the efficiency of bio-gas use in vehicles compared to thermal vs electric nuclear output: i can assure you that the nuclear plant have a lot higher efficiency than the internal combustion engine in a car, the latter is on average at 20% or less, whereas the nuclear reactor operates at 40%. So for actual work done by the biogas plant products you have a number hovering around 12GWh. Though as mentioned, the comparison is not entirely valid.
I prefer the comparison to wind as you can have it on its knees just by mentioning that the base maintenance cost per KWh for wind is 0.1SEK/0.01€(according to vattenfall.se), meaning that if you replace the new Olkiluoto reactor with wind power you'll be paying 150 million€ a year just for the equivalent power output, in addition to the construction costs and the lower generator lifespan of the generators.
20 GWh/year is pathethic. I know Sweden loves green energy and propagates excessively for it, but to put things in a different light consider this:
In your friendly neighbourhood country of Finland, where nuclear power is not considered the spawn of all evil there is a project to add a third nuclear reactor to the Olkiluoto Nuclear power plant, the reactor when done will have a energy output of 1,720MW, this means that in 12 hours it produces more energy than your wonderful Örebro biogas plants yields in an entire year. If it is producing energy 70% of the year, that means it will net 10 TWh per year.
A price-performance comparision between the two yields the following: google tells me the biogas plant netted a cost of approximately 10million € (105M SEK), now this is quite a fair bit lower than the 3 billion € price of the reactor, but then again, the latter produces atleast 527 times more energy so adjusting the price for it we end up at 5,2 billion € for the equivalent biogas plant construction costs, these costs however does not factor in manpower and maintenance required, or say, the availibility of resources viable for biogas. Still, 5,2 billion is not all too bad compared what the equivalent windpower would cost, last i did the calculation i ended up at 3k wind plants per reactor with an annual maintenance cost of close to 100 million €, which is entirely unreasonable to have in practice and a reason why sweden is still importing coal generated electricty.
This comparison is also biased towards biogas, as the calculated value is total energy content and not the part that does any useful work. If you feel like recalculating the whole mess use 4300MW as the reactor value as that's the thermal output which makes for a more fair comparision. /rant

So just because some of our remote ancestors behaved like giant douchebags it's okay to let people repeat it, especially if it's in the name of religion.
What happened to learning from history to avoid repeating its mistake? Or did i miss some clause detailing exceptions to this?
Detrimental traits such as lactose-intolerance can be preserved if there is no or weak evolutionary pressure for this trait. But over time and changing enviroments it's the beneficial traits that are more likely to preserve the genotype.
A better wording is perhaps that the enviromental viability of a geno and phenotype is what is the driving force behind evolution.
If a glider is mutated, it most likely is not viable and dies. Perhaps the gemini have a tolerance for mutations, being a evolution-compatible replicator.
Evolution is the preservation of beneficial traits, only time can tell if:-8 will survive to establish a new species or if it will die off after a few generations.

I wrote a really good version of Hello World 2.0, it was so great in fact that i tried to market it as really fucking expensive enterprise version of hello world; I put the price at $80 billion billion.
Despite the excellent software quality no one bought it, but as my sister pirated it to see what i was raving about i've suffered losses of more than the entire earth GDP of the last 20 milennia or so. And you dare to say software piracy is okay!
Let political correctness be damned; Judging from your name you're a girl, which explains why you're stuck in the "make a safe home for your future family" mindset and can't see the purpose of space exploration, the biggest and most important engineering challenge there ever was. It's probably also why you're not rated troll.
As to why space exploration is important: resources, including energy: green-24/7 unclouded solar energy, and space in abundance you cannot comprehend, microgravity manufacturing could also bring us some interesting goods. You want a safe space and nice upbringing for your children? get us out into fucking space then, our 6 billion people earth starts to feel a bit crowded, in space, you could have a billion children for yourself and there still would be plenty to go around.
Of course, there's the problem of no preexisting infrastructure, but if no one starts building it, it will never be built, just like our power/water/sewage/transport grid didn't grow and evolve by itself, it was built at the cost of billions of dollars and the sweat and blood of thousands of people over centuries of time.
Stop yelling at your man for rubbing those sticks together in a seemingly purpouseless fashion, he's inventing fire and you'll fucking love the steak he'll cook.
Because a certain president found the space program dull and boring and decided to funnel all the NASA money into warfare instead, because the latter is so much more exciting and something we need more of. And when you let something stagnate for 30 years, chances are you'll have a bloody hard time getting it going again, especially when all the people and expertise have moved on and away.
Senators thinking too much of their sponsors and pets in addition to the perpetual conflict over the imaginary difference in US parties(republicans/democrats) is the reason why we're not going anywhere. The congress is a fucking kindergarten full of uneducated, dishonest and selfish man-babies who feel entitled to have everything their way, and if they have to face critique they'll cry until your ears bleed or you let them have it their way.
Perhaps when India or China start their mars missions congress will sober up.
I'm starting to grow a bit tired of repeating this, but He3 is not the ultimate fusion fuel. It's only because it's an exotic off world resource that it gets all the hype.
The benefits of He3 is that it's a aneutronic fuel, but it is definitely not the only such fuel, and considerin the shipping cost from the moon it is quite likely that He3 will have a hard time competing with other aneutronic fuels.
Also, The temperature requried for He3 fusion is higher than for other fuels, so to actually get anything out of He3 fusion we're probably going to wait until second generation commercial fusion reactors pop up, the first ones that will feed our grid and establish the standards for fusion energy are unlikely to be He3 fusion reactors. Probably, we won't bother to ever use He3 fusion on earth, possibly we won't even bother to use it on the moon either.
