    If she ever needs some kind of treatment that requires you and her mother to abort a fetus you had planned to deliver to term, to obtain suitable cells to treat her, what would you do?

    This is unlikely, of course, but this kind of thing needs to be wrestled with before there is any agreement on the ethical issues that future medical research will present us with.

    We are all going to die, how far should we go to delay the inevitable?

    Dear Extremely Rude Person:

    Did you read the part where I said FLOATING IN THE OCEAN? I had to repeat myself here because of ahem, "informed people" like you:

    http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=165423 &cid=13800475

    Perhaps one of those words is too difficult for you to comprehend? Perhaps you should go play with this responder http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=165423 &cid=13800844 who said "most of the rise in the oceans will be from water expanding due to increased temperature?

    THE FUCKING ARTICLE IS ABOUT ARCTIC OCEAN ICE. Learn to read.

    Now, perhaps you'ld like to teach me how the fresh water from the Arctic ice melting will float on top of the warmer waters of the North Atlantic, preventing the Gulf Stream from warming up Europe and North America to their current temperate climes, causing another 'Little Ice Age" such as we had around the 17th century. Oh, but that would cause increased levels of glaciation, locking up water as ice ON LAND, JUST LIKE LONG AGO, when the sea level was 100m LOWER than it is now.

    Dumbass.

    I said ARCTIC ice, floating, yes floating, in the ocean, not glaciers, not Antarctica, not the cubes in my needs-to-be-defrosted fridge. Do you believe that Arctic ice does NOT displace water equal to its mass? Does it levitate?

    What did you think that "Eureka" was for, letting you know the state motto of California?

  20. Re:Anyone.. on Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you can explain to us how the arctic ice, floating in the ocean, could raise the sea level by melting?

    Everyone else reading this can go grab some ice cubes, put them in a glass, and fill it to the brim with water, and watch as it DOES NOT OVERFLOW when the ice is melted.
