    parts made in Japan?

    I didn't know this about Frankenstein. Like the poem though :)

    No! It was more of a joke than anything. It's basically how I view "cloning".

    I wrote something when I was studying science and having troubles trying to figure out what was ethical or not (eventually I couldn't decide and didn't feel I could make those choices so I quit). What I wrote was also meant as a bit of a joke. Mind if I post it here?

    Of course I don't mind. Go right ahead. Now I am curious.

    it's a bit silly really, and it doesn't keep to a pattern, but here goes.......

    that dirty word, DNA
    science has too much too say
    take from here and give to there
    where'd it come from? do you care?

    breeding new diseases
    just to find the answers
    making up the questions
    to justify the ends

    we all know that scientists are just gods that can bleed
    you can live forever on the spare parts that they breed
    you'd think they would have learnt from doctor frank and got some sense
    but they're happy in their world of arrogance
    where they're so high above all the rest
    and moral standards have no place 'cause they know best

    mix people with fruit and cows with fish
    makes for a tasty dish
    mix and match our body parts
    ear from a mouse and a big pigs heart
    order me a dead mans arm
    technology, what's the harm?

    you can't prove there's radiation of cancerous proportions
    doesn't matter anyway, soon we'll have the cure
    do as we say without caution
    or live your life in fear
    of falling behind in society
    where all we want is ALL we see
    must keep up with technology
    we all rely on our machines
    (and their makers who have forgotten their maker)

    That wasn't silly. It was interesting and it made me think.

Ahhh, it had me questioning so much. anyway's I'm tired. it's 1:30 am. time for bed. thatnks for sharing by the way. I really like your poem.

    I like this. It made me stop and think. Its simple, but says so much
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    I second that, even though I already first it, so maybe I'm thirding it now. but yeah, I REALLY like it. just like you said, simple but says so much.
