    IO'm fucking tired of people like you making up shit as justification over your hate.

    Nice. Try again when you can actually have an argument.

    If you had bothered to look into this issue before spouting off like an ass, you would have noted it HAD BEEN SUBMITTED FOR PEER REVIEW.

    The conference was out on the same day of publication. Something the is normal. the Media went ape shit over it, leaving an inexperienced researcher in a position to defend her work in the media, using common language and not scientific terms.

    Something that is incredibly hard to do and takes experience.
    the media took this:
      "that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life"
    and twisted far beyond it's intent. Which is "It looks like life can exist in arsenic; which would give us another vector to look for life.

    Her peers saw the media issues, and instead of being professional and explain that the media has taken an inexperienced person results way out of context., the ostersized her.

    shame on them for that.

    no, it' not arbitrary. The fact that you don't understand that means you point of view is worthless.

    It's based on Human embryogenesis. Look it up.

    There people outside the womb. Fetus inside the womb. If you don't understand why that is, STFU you clueless clod.

    AS to the the aprents point:

    Those are cells left over from a completly different procedure. Cell that would otherwise be thrown away.

    If you want to rail against artificial insemination, then fine. Until you do, you are a hypocrite.

    sure, when looked at within your ignorance and logical fallacies. But in an actual scientific discuss void of you hyperbole and logical fallacies, it is not harvesting people and more the exfoliation is.
