He was calling for legislation to ban all sorts of Genetic tampering, including Cloning and " Human/Animal Hybrids". Odd... I guess they won't be renewing Manimal for another season...

LMAO!

That article was interesting count. I didn't read it all cos its quite late here and I got college 2mro!
I don't see the reasoning behind his ban on hybrid making when people still haven't even gotten use to the idea of cloning humans yet. Maybe Bush inadvertently let slip a big secret...

Thanks shaman.

With regards to the second hybrid - 'human-animal hybrids', i do hear rumours of lonely sheepmen up on the mountains with their sheeps.....hehe...

But seriously, if such hybrids are of benefits to mankind, stopping it only limits our evolution and even mortality or health. Science should never be limited, but ultimately, such decisions should best be left to mankind to decide and not on the lips of one man or a group of men to determine our eventual evolution. Lets hear the other sides first from comming to a decision. I am sure millions of medical patients or their representatives would like to have a say on this issue.

Its easy to talk about being 'ethical'. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just think, who needs advance science help more? Each of us are not born out of a rock and have parents and older folks. Dare we deny them the advancement of sciences when we have the capability to heal them and call our denial 'ethical'? Simply put - a means to get rid of old coons, they can no longer provide to society even though they had provided well in the productive periods of their youth? Their experiences and knowledge shut up forever? A means to rid our planet of folks so as to keep population under control under the banner of 'ethics'? Is this our so called 'ethical' society becoming soon?

Sorry for being out of topic, cos this second 'hybrid' bares no relevance to UFO or aliens for there are no conclusive information or evidences currently available, unless we speculate that cloning is medical procedure learnt from advance non-earth beings.

What???? He mentions the creator when they are taking GOD out of everything governmental? HYPOCRITE! I say clone away, we need the medical research capability. If we weren't meant to do it, it wouldn't be possible.

And about the technology for cleaner energy, there have been plans for engines that run on water that the auto companies and oil companies bought for millions from their inventors. BIG OIL has us right where they want us....."record profits......" remember yesterday's news, people?

It would take a hell of alot of technology to either create a new fuel or run on a different fuel.

Not really, JackofBlades, the target that the President set is acheivable by 2025. A simple increase in fuel efficency of all cars and light trucks of 2.7mpg would reduce the need for the majority of the oil imported from the middle east (currently approx 5.2 million barrels per day).

The US also has massive coal reserves which would supply electrical power to the country for many years to come.

The president has finally realised that the country's rampant energy use is forcing the US into a foregin policy that is only going to end in defeat for the US, and quite possibly the world.

What is interesting is that 2025 is the time at which most experts agree we will have extracted the maximum amount of oil from the earth and global production of oil based products will begin to slow.

In order for the US to avoid a massive collapse of its economy - when everyone with shares in a manufacturing company that is relient on oil sells their shares, causing a stock market crash - it must move large parts of its manufacturing and logistical infrastructure to none oil based energy sources. This has the added bonus of keeping the domestic oil supply available for the US military, which is dependant on oil.

All of this can be acheived without technology backward engineered from the star trek spaceship that crashed in New Mexico.

The down side of course is that coal fired power stations are vastly more costly in terms of environmental effect. The Pollution caused by burning millions of tonnes of coal will effect the environment, possibly in an adverse manner.
