in A Moving Train
It occurred to me that tons of really important stories around these topics don't get discussed here because there are so many of them that wouldn't have their own thread. 
The article that made me think this today is this story about a mass die off of elephant seals and other ocean mammals, from a strain of bird flu! First I've heard of it, but it sounds really serious to me, ecologically... I hope H5N1 doesn't cross over to people next.

    Oh boy. I don't understand that trend at all. although in Brady's case it looks more motivated by business, lol.

    I thought that this was taboo and considered unethical by the science world?  Remember when they cloned that sheep years ago and the ethical dilemma of it?

    The question of a soul was one reason.

    Ah hell, just clone 40 Michael Jordans and Kobe Bryants and we can have the GOATS play basketball every year.

    I'm about to lose my first pet, a 14-year-old dog I've had for 13 years. It's going to be sad and I, too, wish she could live forever. But even if I had the means, uh, no.
