Now all we have to do is build a rocket around it, put a baby in it, and fire it at an alien world.

Just a male conspiracy to make women unnecessary.  The feminist equivalent, artificial sperm, is much closer to actual existence ... oh Aldous Huxley.

well, you seem to be suggesting that, in general, uneducated people, across the board, make the same money as those of higher education. I would tend to think that a citation would not be needed...unless one was truly uneducated, which if that is true, then indeed, we are done here.

I read about an artificial womb for deliberately preemie lambs.  It worked.  Can you guess what comes next?

Fucking strawman argument.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

Well, it could be any future.  I have 60 shelf feet of double stacked sci fi books mostly about possible futures (spare me the Flash Gordon shoot them up garbage).  I like scientific speculation of social extensions on current society.

Yeah some is garbage but most deal with current problems extended into the future to the logical utopian or dysutopian limits.

Favorite SyFy author? Mine is Arthur C Clarke.

I like Orson Scott Card - even if he is a Mormon. I don't know that he's my favorite, though. I'd have to think more about that. I do like his characters and the moral quandaries they must navigate.

Cheap mutton?

Go to an Aztec religious festival.  Find you are the main course ;-(  Oh yes, that is just prejudice.  Perfectly all right to cut the living heart out of a captive, and add part of him to the chili con carne.  And yes, there is proof that occasional cannibalism was the norm.  It was also for Japanese officers in WW II.

But averages, aren't the same as specific results.  There are poor PhDs and wealthy HS grads.
