omg_its_glowing I forgot to post this until now, but Robert sent out an interesting email on Thursday. -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 14:23 Subject: SPAM: Fish that glow Sorry for the spam, but this is definitely worth it... Genetically modified glow-in-the-dark pet fish. This is not a joke... you can buy them right now in Taiwan and probably soon in the U.S... http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/news/story/0,9830,978391,00.html Sci-fi editorializing: It’s sad, imho, that we’ve managed to outlaw or silence bioengineering/biomechanics research in this country in the last decade. Since it’s totally legal in most of the rest of the world, other countries may literally reinvent the human species and out-bioengineer The West into oblivion... These are topics that need serious discussion. It’s only a matter of time before we live in Gattaca... Have you paid your WTA dues? :-) http://transhumanism.org Anyways, back to the real world... :-) -robert
