SCRATCH and capslock

HOLY MOTHERTRUCKING CRAP

I finished my scratch assignment.

There you go. Isn't it wonderful? (Don't lie, it's not that great. But my head HURTS so maybe...maybe you could lie a little bit...)

So there's Scratch for you.

ON TO WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.

Nothing much, actually.

BUT IT WAS FLIPPING COOL. We learned about stem cell research and cloning and junk. Woo! I'm all for stem cell research. It will help with people who have lost limbs, and maybe even help with paralyzed people! Who knows!

Well not America. America is one of the most uppity, stick-up-your bum places. (It's not the worst, but it's maybe in the top 100. Maybe.) Europe and Asia are all for stem cell research, but not us, because OH NOES A BABY MIGHT DIE. Well if a baby's life was on the line, I'd be right there with you. But NONE ARE so I'll have to watch your bandwagon drive on by. They take cells from an EMBRYO. An embryo is not a fetus. It takes 8-10 weeks for it to become a fetus. It's just a cluster of cells, no gender, no face, nothing.

They get a lot of these from invitro fertilization. A lot of people can't get pregnant on their own, for many reasons.  So, doctors will put a bunch of zygotes into the woman's body, because most of them WILL FAIL. So what to do with failed ones? Throw them away? OR use them to better humanity?

America elects the trash heap.
Whatever.
