"We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost,"

- President Barak Obama

Let us examine how he has remained true to these powerful words.

Wow...THATS A FIRST! flaming_nymph November 27 2009, 00:45:28 UTC

Thank you for pointing out some problems with science. Even though i'm just a kid (and i mean JUST A KID) I understand when science has crossed the line. It's so new for me to be hearing someone other than Fox saying this kind of thing. Most kids are so . . . liberal. World peace and all that. Science will save us! -- ah, no. It makes me happy to hear someone expressing some actual non-think-happy-thoughts opinions towards it.

Now, i have to ask this, what do you think of CLONING? (sorry, little off topic here) Does anyone agree with me that it can stop evolution if abused? I mean, people will change slowly with the environment. So if we keep using the same genes, doesn't that make it so they can't change at all? Sorry, i'm dying to know. This is interesting to me. I cant ask a science teacher, that wouldn't go well, so i will ask a random stranger who happens to agree with me on some scientific matters! ^^
Thanks!

"it can stop evolution if abused"

What do you mean?

If we over use it.

Let's use pandas as an example.
If we clone too many pandas, the panda population will increase. That's a good thing. The issue comes it when they reproduce, the pandas will be combining almost, if not completely, identical genes. Therefore, the little baby panda is pretty much a clone in a smaller scale. The pandas, in a way, will be cloning themselves. The pandas can't truly evolve when the genes and DNA are so similar/identical, therefore, as the climate changes, the pandas will either:
a.) not change at all
or
b.)change at a pace too slow to match the pace of the enviorment's change.

I'm not the best at explaining things. Sorry!

Wow, you're a very clever thinker. I need to address t his but I think I will have to dig up some old research first. Things like the theory of Entropy and Mutation come to mind.

However I think you are on to something....

Thank you! Even though I'm only 14, I am fascinated by this kind of thing. Please let me know what you find! I'm doing some research on this myself.
