May I Puke?

Would it be a violation of human dignity if someone dropped a five-hundred pound laser bomb on your head? I thought so.

This must be the most ironic statement in history:

“Like all Americans, I believe our Nation must vigorously pursue the tremendous possibilities that science offers to cure disease and improve the lives of millions. Yet, as science brings us ever closer to unlocking the secrets of human biology, it also offers temptations to manipulate human life and violate human dignity. Our conscience and history as a Nation demand that we resist this temptation. With the right scientific techniques and the right policies, we can achieve scientific progress while living up to our ethical responsibilities.”

What a sick and confused bastard.
