Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Did anyone see the front page of the metro today? All about this GM monkey they've created. oh my god, its so awful that this has started happening. instead of showing a cute picture of the monkey, why don't they show pictures of all the f*cked up experiements they've put the other monkeys through to get there?! plus, did you see in the London vegans literature that someone is trying to make it illegal for information about experiments to be given to the public. hmmm, wonder why that is. I really wish that instead of always looking for 'cures' and giving people drugs they would look into prevention and encourage people to lead healthy lifestlyes instead. I'm sure some of these diseases could be prevented, or at least lessened, if people learned to eat properly and did some exercise. its a really sad state of affairs, isn't it.

I haven't seen the London vegan literature you refer to but, perhaps from a slightly different angle, one reason why some might wish to limit information is touched on this week in: http://www.newscientist.com/editorial/ .... an Australian research team reported this week on a fatal mouse virus they engineered inadvertently; the potential for biological weapons (or for further accidents) was evident and after some soul-searching they decided to publish their experience to flag the danger. Very disconcerting. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who was a junior doctor in Lancaster and he said that about 2/3 of the people in the hospital were there because they smoked. Add to that the 1/6 that Vernon Coleman says are ill as a result of pharmaceutical drug side effects. Doesn't leave very much. Also if anyone's interested I went to see what was happening with the Countryside alliance demo at Parliament Square yesterday. There was about 5 of them and 2 of us.
