i understand you're joking but this issue has resolved itself into something where people are actually concerned about it. and well, it's just f
ucking stupid.
PETA has an incredibly f
ucked perception of what constitutes good judgment. they propose that it's wrong to breed and raise animals for human consumption, but as long as there isn't an organism behind the meat you're eating then it's okay? not only is this not in good logic but it puts a burden on our scientists and engineers to try and develop a way to play god in the name of "saving" animals.
there's about seven billion better reasons to pursue stem cell research. this endorsement by PETA is nothing but a flimsy proposal to accomplish something that is neither
1) within the limits of logical reasoning or
2) economically feasible.
i mean, when i first read about this i was immediately forced into recalling Harry Caray's hilarious rants.
