The fact that it's a rabbit's egg is really irrelevant, all of the rabbit DNA is removed (apart from the mitochondrial) so it's basically just a shell. It isn't as if they're going to make an animal which is a cross between a humand and a rabbit, the DNA codes for a human being, that's what you'd get.
I don't see any moral issues here, it isn't a human being, it's a collection of cells without nervous system, the DNA wouldn't even come from a human egg or even something which could possibly have developed into a human.
Atheism, like science requires proof, whereas your typical religious nuts will believe any twaddle they're told.
Arthur Clarke said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
The fact that the bible bashers think that science is a form of belief (the modern world presumably therefore based on a sinister form of magic) comparable to their own twaddle suggests it's simply too advanced for them to understand.
If you want to give a statement like this at least give some evidence to back it up... Give me proof (or at least an argument founded on something) and I'll consider your point.
Don't be ridiculous. Nothing an ordinary human being (as opposed to a psychotic hallucination) could say even with documented scientific evidence could possible change your opinion on the word of god.
However here are some examples for those others out there who are able to think critically:
For 2000 years we've been sold the theory that there was a virgin birth, turns out the whole thing was a mistranslation from hebrew into greek. And millions of suckers out there just continue to swallow it.
Um the Mongol, Roman, Aztec empires are all gone. How long will our civilisation last after oil becomes scarce?
And someone's predicting the end of archeology? What makes anyone think we'll be able to power the machines required to serve the web pages. Our entire civilisation (including agriculture) is based on abundant energy.
It's interesting how the wide range of human hopes and opinions can be reduced to us and them by the US electoral system.

I don't know if you'd noticed but there are already national DNS zones.
e.g..fr.dk.es.fi.at.pt.se.be.gr.ie.nl.it.de

Do you type all of your friends phone numbers into the phone when you're calling them? No, you use directories and searches. So "all the time" is hyperbole.
What planet do you live on? Happy fuzzy bunny world? It's exactly why we're racist, go around raping, killing, invading foreign countries. FFS, it happens the instant that the threat of force is dropped.

ooh, the wayback machine is fabulous, here's a rant I wrote years ago about ICANN and the flatness of the current DNS system.
ICANN fuck up the worlds DNS
Well, Ok, but if you're going to call yourself ICANN then what do you expect? Here's my DNS heirarchy diatribe.
The DNS is not being used appropriately.
It's a heirarchical system that has been abused by the registrars to the point where it's effectively a flat naming system; *.com.
End users should not have access to domains above 3rd or 4th level. First, second and maybe even the third level domains should be reserved exclusively for domain administration purposes. Think of it as a filing system. Would you allow users to randomly create directories off root or/usr or even/home? No, only a fuckwit would do that but this is essentially what ICANN are doing. As a responsible administrator you should administer that heirarchy and create areas where users can create and access information in a consistent fashion.
An example of a managed heirarchy microsoft.vendors.software.com apple.vendors.software.com opensource.vendors.software.com ibm.vendors.software.com microsoft.operating-systems.software.com apple.operating-systems.software.com open-source.operating-systems.software.com amazon.vendors.books.com barnes&noble.vendors.books.com waterstones.vendors.books.com hoover.US.trademarks.org persil.UK.trademarks.org fred.new-york.US.plumbers.com tesco.superstores.shopping.com asda.superstores.shopping.com whsmiths.newsagents.shopping.com menzies.newsagents.shopping.com
You see the kind of thing I mean? Web browser and other software could then make use of the structure of the heirarchy.
The DNS needs to be re-organised or even just organised. ICANN and the registrars should get off their fat arses and design the heirarchy rather than completely abdicating responsibility and allowing chaos to ensue the way they have done so far.
A properly designed heirarchy would allow everyone to have their place without all this domain squatting and trademark infringement bullshit.
The new TLDs that ICANN are proposing will simply cause more chaos. They will not solve anything. ICANN are just abdicating their responsibilities again. Do you really think that the IBMs, Microsofts and Apples of this world will not simply register their names and trademarks in every existing TLD?
They can, they will and things will only get worse.
And of course we now have phishing problems as well. Oh happy days.

Quite a good way of getting round the shortage in eggs.
It's a stupid tax. Like the Lotto.
you forgot to mention the shit weather.
Lol. Go take some LSD, maybe you can come up with a new gospel when god speaks to you.

Finally there's a reason for including the term in the science curriculum, I'm sure the religious nuts will be whooping in the aisles.
Not until you get your electoral system fixed first.

You think anyone should use London as an example of a sane public transport system? And yes it's still a crap place to live.
... Glad that's cleared that up then ...
Next article please.
Anything to do with a web site is news for nerds now?
You've just explained the major economic reason for the general lack of code reuse over the last couple of decades.
The glorious Air Conditioner!
Sure, but technology is fragile.
e.g. you're depending on :
MediaWiki
HTTP server
IP network
Physical network
Server
Electricity
National Grid
Power Station
Coal
Oil
Start pulling things out of that stack and whether they have good backups or not won't really matter.
Um the Mongol, Roman, Aztec empires are all gone. How long will our civilisation last after oil becomes scarce?
