[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 559419, member: 2067"] My main beef has to do with the yobbos shouting "THIS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED, AND THIS PROVES IT!" I don't really think it's morally right to do right now...but pushing it to unregulated sectors isn't going to stop it from happening -- it's just going to push it to the outskirts, perhaps even more...*shudder* I mean, I'm all for flying cars, but I wouldn't want the people making them to be, say, radical Islamic fundamentalists who hate the US, just because the US had a problem with some religious groups who thought that flying was an attempt to challenge God in his heavenly authority, and so didn't access or know about the technology of flying cars... Plus, there's the whole argument of how do you know this is morally wrong? There isn't exactly a bible verse or a saying by St. Cleetus that you can turn to for advice on 'thou shal or shal not clone.' About the only authority that has spoken is some Vatican yobbo who's main reason is that 'humans are playing God with technology.' Well, hell, the Amish have been saying that since the 1600's, so why was the line drawn here and not at the nuclear bomb? Though I guess this kind of talk is more appropriate for Nutkinland than here. :) Still, though...glad I got it off my chest... Now to go write some inspired drama about what this Eve's teenage years of self-discovery will be like....hehe. Yipes. [/QUOTE]
