There is na asurity that we will not use them.
But ok let's say they won't....take computerized machines for example....and the T-3 theory.....what do you think of that?

Never heard of the T3 theory.
Computer machines are cool and are a part of our everyday lives now.

Indeed, making life so much easier for us, But what if these computers including the weaponary ones....get infected by some virus? This virus rewrites there programs and creates its own....to turn on the human race???...very very very possible and very likely with all those hackers out there (me too~lol~) or just simply an error in the written code!

well first of all we geneticaly ingeneer almost everything
most of our food is geneticaly ingeneered......
but of course making people isn't the best idea
i think the old method works pretty good too
but hm i dunno making body parts would be pretty cool

Most of our food *isn't* genetically engineered.

That's the mistake you made there.

How do you mean, genetically engineered?

If you are referring to cross breeding, etc, this is true.

If you mean genetic modification this is untrue. Unless you eat lots of soya. That's mostly GM in America.

K, I think we should make it clear. People don't consider cross-bred foods or selectively bred foods as genetically modified. It IS man made modification, but it doesn't have the evil/unnatural connotation that true GMed foods have.
Besides that, we've been eating bred foods since forever so no one's afraid of it.

So yeah bred foods = traditional genetic modification
true GMed foods : "unnatural" genetic modification

Speaking of GMing stuff... Any of you heard about those new glow-in-the-dark fish? They are illegal in California because the TK-1 fish is a genetically modified organism, even though they are sterile and could not harm the ecology in any way. Odd isn't it? Even more so is that a group of German scientists have created a carrot that contains the vaccine for hepatitus-B. They haven't tested it out yet (for doseages and potency) but their GMed carrots are producing a surface antigen for the virus.

Sterile? They said that in Jurassic Park, and look what happened there.
