In response to legislation posted by redback:


And I would add--what about the smile on the woman's face!! Now how chauvinist is that?? You are too funny happy

I'm also wondering if human embryos could be developed outside the female body for about nine months. That would take a lot of the pressure off...

Reading that first article you sent--that was some futuristic, twilight zone stuff! Scary. I copied this part of it... not too sure I remember why now. Very very tired from a 30-hour trip, in which I ironically only spent about 5 hours traveling and 25 hours waiting at airports. Here's the passage:

"This technique involves taking the nucleus (which contains genetic material) from a cell (usually a skin cell) from a patient, and inserting it into an egg whose nucleus has been removed. With the right triggers, this new cell will develop into a clump of cells from which stem cells can be extracted."

So, no fertilization necessary? Very interesting. And is IVF in vitro fertilisation? I'm not sure--I just found that term somewhere in my head. All this talk you've been doing the past two or three days is very overwhelming to me.

It's funny that George Bush is conservative, inarticulate and unwanted. The funny part is that those adjectives describe me so perfectly. happy

Must get rest...
