Animal-Human Hybrids Spark Controversy

[ReneeB]

Very Easily.. take a look at oh Africa for example, or china, or any other place INCLUDING CANADA where there are homeless, starving, and extremly sick people. It's an obvious case of population VS progress/research. Otherwise, we wouldn't have millions infected with various illnesses like HIV/AIDS, CANCER, etc.

And since you insist on asking.. my field of expertise isn't an issue here. I have simply stated opinions, that I have because of experiences I've had, things I've read, and things I have seen. You stated yours. I did not know anyone that voiced an opinion about something had to be an exper on the subject.

Back to the original topic about human/animal organs.. having lost some of my organs due to cancer, if I was ever asked if I wanted a human/animal organ transplant, I would have to say no. (any of you that know me know how badly the organ loss had effected me, so that should mean something to you) Nature didn't want me to continue my life with those parts, so be it.

Darren179,

If the population of prey increases, the population of predators will increase as well, to a certain extent for sure.

However, we as humans have done some nasty things for sure.

Renee,

I dont understand the entire concept of population vs. progress... explain?

ReneeB,

The only reason why I questioned your expertise, was to clarify that those comments you made were just opinions... you were talking in a very matter of fact kinda way.. to me, thats very different from an opinion.

Anyhow,

Regarding your other comments about homeless / starving / sick people...

First off, there is more than enough resorces to go around the ENTIRE world... the problem with that is social / economic / political... its all about the MONEY! Not that we do not have the ability to feed everyone, cause I would suggest.. WE DO!...

Regarding disease, how the heck does that have anything to do with population vs progress?
In fact, we have come a VERY far way with cancer and HIV treatments.

In fact, take a look a few hundred years ago.. people were dying of allot more disease than what they are now... ie: bubonic plague, small pox, influenza, simple bacterial infection.... a common cold killed, even child birth killed allot of mothers / babies... do u honestly think we are worse off now than what we were say 200 years ago???

Recall how common it used to be for almost every mother to have lost children during child birth, or a childhood illness... it was the NORM!!! not any more!

Anyhow... I hope you are not getting the impression that Im trying to attack ya, cause Im not... I just love engaging in a good debate... even if I do not agree with your opinion, I respect it.

[i].. do u honestly think we are worse off now than what we were say 200 years ago???[/B]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE are over populated, we rely WAY to much on technology, WE are needy ,greedy, wasteful creatures 200 hundred years ago people lived off the land ( for the most part) now look at us. I'm sure the creator ( assumeing there is one and this i don't want to get into this.) is shaking his head somewhere.. WE are not much better than over sized cochroaches in the global sence, back than we/they lived in harmony with the earth .

[i].. even if I do not agree with your opinion, I respect it. [/B]

And i feel the same about your opinion.
