One reason that disease is more rampant now is because we have found a way to subvert natural selection with technology and science. In nature, when a creature gets sick, it becomes weak and succumbs to a predator or to its disease. In modern human s...  [Read More]

I got this from this web site: (I have shortened it a bit for space) http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/9a.html There are four main types of life. Bacteria, Eukaryota (protozoa, fungi, animals, plants), Viruses and Archaea (similar to...  [Read More]

In an attempt to answer your question, "is it wrong" I submit to you my "Clintonian" response. Yes and no. I will explain. Yes it is wrong because it is an artificial genetic manipulation through the use of science. The genes of...  [Read More]

I would agree that this one modification all by its self is most likely harmless. I would also applaud their foresight in the neutering of these cats in an effort to keep them from breeding because the ramifications would be unknown. But once you sta...  [Read More]

One problem with the whole theory of Mara Jade beating down Luke if he turned bad and turned on the Emperor. If Luke had turned bad and the story gone another way, there never would have been Timothy Zahns Heir to the Empire and therefore no Mara Jad...  [Read More]

Not a bad idea. That's not a bad selling point for these things. As soon as your baby is born, even before the umbilical chord is cut, implant a tracking, I mean an identification chip in him/her right away. This way we will be able to know everythi...  [Read More]

I agree Shok, this new tech brings about nothing new in my eyes, only that it will make it much faster for people to take your information because it will all be concentrated in one location, or it will only required your chip id number to get it. T...  [Read More]

To play devil's advocate though, is there any real difference now without the chip? I already carry around my drivers license for id and I issue my social security number all of the time for an id number. What would be the real difference with the ex...  [Read More]

Here's another idea. What if they scan you and find out information not just about you, but they see who you are related too and hold that against you? Lets say they start taking into account the medical history of your parents then, or their mental...  [Read More]

Tyrion, that's my point. That's what frightens me the most. These chips work on a radio frequency. All they have to do is turn it on with a scanner and find you. No body would be able to hide any where from any one. It would be a great idea if the go...  [Read More]

Wow! That was a mouthful, but I'm glad it was posted. Like I said, it had been a long time since I read those books. So it can be said then that there are at least two methods of making clones. The Kamino Process, in which a high quality product is...  [Read More]

Yes, they have them in the EU, but the EU is not canon, exactly, but sort of. Not really. Heir to the Empire was one of the first EU books to touch on clones and it did a great job I think until it got to the clone of Luke at the end, that was not th...  [Read More]

What we saw were mature combat ready clones about ten actual years old and no more because the order was placed ten years ago at that time. Meaning that in clone years (like dog years) they were then relatively about twenty years old. Then the younge...  [Read More]

Yes we did. We saw mature clones and we saw little Jango's running around "learning" to be good little soldiers. If they are living at an accelerated growth rate then their shelf life is quite short. New batches would need to be grown often...  [Read More]
