I prefer to exercise by myself. Like you wrote, it’s a great time to clear my mind and think about important issues. I have one exception to this: when I can go out for a walk or run with my wife. That’s the best.

The United States needs to get prepared for all of these children with Autism when they reach adulthood. Who is going to take care of them?

The parents will be ready to retire and cannot handle an Autistic Adult. My grandson is not able to receive any benefits so the family pays.

The health insurance has waiting lists for therapy so its pay, pay and pay out of pocket. The school early intervention programs are a joke. My grandson just learned out of control behavior like head banging and outburst with fits.

The Rich can get all of the therapy help needed for their austic child. Middle class get screwed around by their health insurance with waiting lists. My grandson waited 2 yrs for speech therapist with insurance. WHAT A TRAVESTY?

The sixteenth century Copernicus also had his opponents: Only after eight years were his theories accepted. How many years must we wait in our modern society for free practice in stem cell research?

If history is any indication, we’d be better off allowing this and regulating it than assuming no one will progress the science after it’s made illegal (because 100% of the time, outlawing something doesn’t stop it). It may open up “sooo many new terrors”, but it also opens up many beneficial possibilities.

I’d rather have this in the public eye, with published results and responsible regulation, than banished to underground labs funded with dirty money and bad intentions.

We’re living in the 21st century. We can video chat with anyone in the world like the damn Jetsons. It’s time to responsibly regulate scientific research for the benefit of all mankind, not arbitrarily ban it because of possibilities for terror.

Let’s all face it. If cloning for human perfection is the nightmare future of mankind, you and I won’t pass! Cloning opens up sooooooo many new terrors for mankind. Sort of like the Terminator movies…..
