This comes down to a philosophical question: what would be the ideal way to give access to opportunities? Should only smart and hard working people people get them? Both of those things are in large part determined by genes. If you take thi

These scientists essentially created what may have been a new species, that perhaps would have had similar sentience to us and had them terminated after 100 days. I don't think that there is any evidence that other animals don't

I actually don't see 3 pinterest results, maybe there is some personalization at play. However you can't compare results based on just one search query. Not to mention that your query is probably quite common. It's easy for a

I don't think it's that clear that that would be the outcome. If Apple was allowed to get payed by Bing, because they are not the market leader, I think some people would switch back to Google but many people would just keep Bing.

Which is why Silicon Valley is in California, and why attempts to create a startup culture elsewhere have mostly failed. I doubt that that is the main reason. Also, in this case it worked against the startup.
