Well, it has been quite awhile since I started a post on NMA, but this is a question I am curious to see how people respond to. I have for several years been keenly interested in the development of a movement known as 'transhumanism'. Thus novement among other things seeks to advocate for the...

Just another friendly reminder of the sordid world we live in; where fat jokes can be cause for a lawsuit.

Tell me, tell me true, what nobility is left in spent humanity? What is there worth fighting for in a race of abject slaves to ideology and doctrine, serving a cruel and malevolent God? Where is the love and concern for our fellow suffering souls on this path, that we should give up freedom to...

Inspired by the debate on the God Gene: If Down's Syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome, how does this affect mental retardation usually symptomatic of the disease? What does the additional chromosome do/block? If anyone knows and is welling to inform me, I would be most appreciative.
