  • Transgenic

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to AARON THOMAS on Fri Mar 28 10:05:00 2025
    Not that I feel good about people losing their jobs, but
    it's just that there's such a thing as too much
    bureaucracy here in the states, like the department of
    transgender animal surgeries for example.

    I believe said "transgender" during he speech to the WH a few
    weeks ago, but the correct term is "transgenic" and has nothing
    to do with sex changing animals.

    August is correct. Trump claimed they were transgender, but they are transgenic. The latter means that they spliced in some human genetics so
    they could better test things meant for humans on the mice. Has nothing to
    do with changing their sex or sexual preferences.

    I understand, but it still sounds like a waste. The left is not to be trusted with science anymore.

    Seeing as how the far right doesn't even seem to believe in science, who
    would you suggest we do trust with it?

    We need to be our own scientists whenever possible, especially when it comes to statistics.

    But gene splicing/transgenics doesn't sound like useful science to me. The same goes for Fauci's beagle pup massacre.

    So what you are saying is you don't think it is useful to have a mouse that is compatible with many different tissue types for medical research. Whats your degree in?

    Maybe if the right could understand the difference between similar
    words, they could.

    If these far right scientists are anything like Trump's far right

    That's been a big problem with a lot of things. Toe the party line!

    Like the worry inching towards panic to do with global warming, and
    any scientists who do not say exactly what the gov't wants them to say
    will lose their funding and be blocked.

    We have a tiny, if any, affect on global warming. It's happened many
    times in the past and the world has spent a lot more time without
    polar ice caps than with them. The last one brought about stories
    like Noah's Ark. About 4500 years ago the temperatures warmed up and
    the ice caps melted and flooded much of the Coastal areas, where
    a lot of people lived and their 'god' was punishing them for some
    reason. Then, 3000 years later, things cooled down again and crops
    that the Romans planted in England (like grapes for wine) would no
    longer grow in most areas because it was now too cold.

    An interesting book on that, both a good story about eco-terrorists
    but also with a lot of scientific information about global warming
    (backed up with the source scientific papers listed) is called
    State of Fear by Michael Crichton.

    Thanks to the folks who just want to let "God do his job," we

    A line I always liked was, 'God answers all our prayers, but sometimes
    the answer is no..' B)

    But as you suggested, back in the distant past it was rare for a person
    to live to be 35.. and that number has dramatically grown over the years because we started taking science and medicine into our own hands.
