Okay, on day 19 three of them are clusters of cells, how about day 280? How about year 5? I think the argument is that a majority of people would find it unethical to continue to develop viable embryos, and even more unethical to conduct re

This may be my best and only opportunity to share my favorite sea shanty band with any wider audience. I suspect I only discovered them because YouTube has me in a geo-bubble and they're local to here. Aside from just being good rendit

For your idea, you could do what a lot of kids toys do, where they have a "cartridge" (puzzle piece, alphabet letter, whatever) which has some notches, so it pushes a combo of switches to select what sound to play Could also do it

Who is it giving the Inuit a pass? Why do they have a say in it? Someone shows up thousands of years after the fact and starts telling the Inuit what they can and can't eat? I don't see that as a defensible position to hold. The I
