You have got to be kidding! If you really believe this (I'm inclined to think this is a sarcastic comment) you must not listen to MP3s very often. First of all, you would have to carry around all the cds you own in order to have a decent playlist on a computer (at home and work for example I have the same playlists). Second, it would render any MP3 player obsolete.
I think you missed the idea that the organic things were INSIDE the rock. Hence, no UV rays would have hit them. Furthermore, who knows how long such things might have lived after landing. Also, UV rays are all over space with no protection from any atmosphere and yet, somehow, this meteorite hit earth with traces of organic material. Obviously, if these organic compounds can survive in space, they can survive on the surface of this planet whether or not it had an atmosphere like we have today.
I suppose you believ nuclear weapons are moral and good?!
Morality and religion (if you ascribe to a higher power or not) have all the relevance in the "fast-changing modern world." Without moral guidance the Germans would have annihilated the entire Jewish race, Iraq would still be testing chemical weapons on their own citizens and slavery would still be legal in the United States.
Saying it's good because it's possible is like saying it's okay to kill my brother because I'm bigger, and stronger than he is. It's not only ignorant, it's ludicrous!
Morality, whether outdated or not is part of the checks and balances we use in life. Without morality their is chaos. Like it or not, morality and religion are here to stay. And they should be!
This is not the entire story. The parents had decided to have another baby anyway. They just believed that if they were going to have a second baby it might as well have the chance of keeping their daughter alive too. This isn't about making someone just to heal someone else. This isn't about picking your babies skin, hair, or eye color. This was about saving their daughter's life. If you are a parent you will certainly understand what this decision meant to these parents. I agree, that which does not kill us makes us stronger. Unfortunately, these people didn't have that choice. The desease their daughter has isn't making her stronger and it is killing her. I would probably make the same choice if I were in their position.
Signals freaks/geeks could use something like this. A 3d image of a signal that could then be manipulated more easily is an idea that might be possible for this monitor. I'm sure there are hundreds of other uses out there, not to even get started on the gaming possibilities.
