Warin 0 Posted July 26, 2003 This is a cool concept. I was watching a show on Discovery about how many organisms there are undiscovered in the worlds oceans that might offer similar medical benefits. Hopefully we are a little more responsible harvesting them than we have been with harvesting fossil fuels and minerals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we don´t do momma will come for her baby I´ve seen a deep sea documentary lately. Only 4 percent of the seabed is explored right now. We know nothing about the creatures down there or at least very little. The smokers are said to be sources of life on this planet. Bacterias live in 600 degrees celcius hot water at the smokers. Now that is impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balschoiw's hollyday pic , he should have bought a bigger swimsuit not exeryting could fit in j/k on a more serious note : since it's been posted by Bals in this thread i'm pretty sure it's some kind of sea worm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baron Hurlothrumbo IIX 0 Posted July 26, 2003 since its from the Fortean picture library, I reckon its either unknown what it is or a photoshopped/faked image. I've seen it before, ages ago, so I don't think its photoshopped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphwiggum 6 Posted July 26, 2003 worms are for food, not for blood. i'm setting up PETW = People for Ethical Treatment of Worms. i say this is a cool concept along with stem cell, one of best ideas so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSPilot 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I'm an honorary member of PETA People Eating Tasty Animals anyway this sounds like a good idea. Â i also heard somewhere that sharks were immune to AIDs, to the cure to AIDs might someone lie in their bone marrow. Â it was a while ago so it's probably been disproven, or I'm just wrong.

Warin 0 Posted July 26, 2003 worms are for food, Â not for blood. i'm setting up PETW = People for Ethical Treatment of Worms. i say this is a cool concept along with stem cell, one of best ideas so far. Am I the only one that remembers Dubya swearing up and down that he would move heaven and earth to make embryonic stem cell research illegal anywhere in the US of A? Have you heard such rhetoric since? I heard that one Nancy Reagan went and had a talk with Shrub, and explained that embryonic stem cell research was one of the only promising avenues in research into Alzheimers. It's sad that until a friend of the rich and powerful needs something, new and controversial techniques and research is usually shunned by the powers that be.

Warin 0 Posted July 26, 2003 He's sticking to his campaign promises, which were pro-life. Umm... yeah. Cept none of the rhetoric was acted on. It's quietly just slipped away. All sorts of stem cell research is still being done. Strange that the campaign promise generally stopped being enforced after Bush was spoken to by former First Lady Reagan.

denoir 0 Posted July 26, 2003 I heard a while ago that they found a way to harvest eggs from aborted fetuses. It would help relieve the shortage of egg donors. That's pretty cool: Your mother can be an unborn aborted fetus You can guess how nuts right wing christian organizations went over this possibility.
