They'd be trying to force ID cards on the whole population, and part of the information they collect for your ID cards are you fingerprints that are then passed on to the police. (They also fingerprint kids in school here, and they would have to be passed onto the police too).
Think yourself lucky you got the Bush part of the Blair Bush combo.
No you've lost the debate, unless your saying that the possibility of something to turn into a human is enough, or that evolution doesn't exist were ll designed by God.
Well, a dog or cat embryo doesn't grow up to be a human adult. I'd say there's a pretty big distinction there that makes a human embryo a human worth caring about.
Ever heard of evolution? it's possible that a cat or dog embryo may turn into a human like creature after a few million years of evolution. Isn't that worth caring about?
First, the "problems as to where you draw the line" are so big as to be impossible to overcome.
Well that depends upon where you come from, many countries don't have a problem with abortion, so that's one place where the line is drawn.
Second, even if you could draw the line, what makes it ethically reasonable to do that. The same thing that makes it ethically reasonable to kill anything.
Third, it is spelled "per se", not "persay". I didn't realise this was a spelling contest.
I would say that the thing that makes us human is the differnece between us and the other animals, our mind (or as some people call it our soul). An embrio certainly doesn't have a mind (or knowlage) greater than that of any other animal so or probably an insect or plant so why should they be treated any differently to the other aminals and plants?
I think it's impossible to seperate good from morality since you cannot define good without morality. On a universal scale actions are neither good or bad they are just actions. If I kill someone they are only dead without morality that it neither a good or bad thing to do.
Not only can you copy the music as you see fit, a new feature in iTunes 7 actually allows your authorized machines (up to 5) two-way sync all purchased music from any iPod.
So that's upto 5 times you can copy the songs then, how many times can you do this with a CD that you've ripped?

Also, good luck to anyone looking for a dog embryo that will grow up into a human.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility.
"Most early mammals were small and shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Constant body temperature. All mammals have milk glands for their young."
the card never leaves the direct control of the card holder
Try shopping in sainsburys, they swipe the card in their own machine then get you to enter the pin number in the chip and pin thingy.
But all you need is something that looks like a chip and pin reader and people are willing to enter their pin numbers into it.
(Then all you need is a second real device to enter the coppied pin number into to make the transaction look ligit)

I could say the same for the "mentally challenged". Should we carve them up as well?
I personally have no problems with that persay, there are some problems as to where you draw the line though.

"Chris - If you look at something like a banana for example, I'm supposed to share about 60% of my genes with a banana. Would you go along with that?"
Translation: Eithe AC is deluded or he seriously underestermates the number of people that voted for Bush.
a banana is partly human, do you have any problem with people eating bananas?
We that really depends upon what makes you human. I wouldn't say that an embryo is human in any sense that it's worth caring about.
look at how badley bush has done, and people still voted in his faviour.
The only smart people were the people who didn't vote.
This wouldn't be so much of a problem (but still a problem) if they ran each app in it's own thread, or even better process.
pasta contains a lot of starch, which is more or less the same as eating a lot of sugar.
I think a grey import analogy would be better, after all the credit card transactions etc.. all happen in Russia.
So by threatening someone with the loss of their job if they take drugs they have just created another avenue for being blackmailed.
The argument seems counter productive to me.

That's easy to answer.
Without a creature that can think about God there would be no God, so without us God would not exist.
I'm fairly sure that God didn't exist before man though of his existance.
- Do not buy music from the iTMS. No one is forcing you to do so.
Thanks I'll use Limewire since every other service seems offering a general catalogue of music to have DRM.
- Burn your purchased music to CD. Rerip and use as you see fit.
Great, I loose even more quality and have to typ in all the info tags again.
I missed out the don't.
We get less than 50% turnout in the elections. (Not picking on Manchester but it's the first results google turned up)
Turnout for the local Manchester elections last year was 22% and the European was 19.5%.
If only they'd let us vote for none of the about and just leave us as we are without more draconion laws.
Try overloading MYSql for youself, it dies.
the vast majority
Here in the UK your lucky if the vast majority of people bother to vote at all.

Your version of copy isn't my version of copy.
