We can all think of Science Fiction-type nightmare horrors, and see who can come up with the scariest scenario, however, let's not!

I know that Dolly the sheep has shown premature signs of aging - if that can somehow either be studied, so we understand more about the aging process on a cellular level, okay. If not, then scientists now know more about simple cloning than they did before, and that is a good thing, even if they are diappointed with the results. I know that little ANDi will probably never be available for adoption. I hope he has a good and healthy life, anyway.

I think we should always be careful, and urge those experimenting to be careful. We need to proceed with caution with any new technology, and not expect too much too soon. That said, if they can cure ALS in time to help those who now suffer, so be it! We have the technology to destroy all of humanity many times over - but we haven't, yet. We cannot stop the march of time, but we can make sure what we have control over is done responsibly.

I grew up reading science fiction, and am not afraid of robots or technology despite it. My heart goes out to Daisy's Mom - sweetie, I have been where you are now. I will email you more than I need to say about that in a public forum. As we have harnessed fire, and steam, and the internal combustion engine, we should be careful that we watch, learn and insist that genetic testing be done responsibly.

Fortunately, there are as many definitions of beauty as there are human beings - I hope that ensures genetic diversity for a long time to come. We need to be careful, but I also think we need to try to help people as best we can.

I know corporations are driven by profit - but they are staffed by human beings. There is our hope.
