More Info on the featured speaker: Dr. Jason Scott Robert is the Franca Oreffice Dean's Distinguished Professor in the Life Sciences, and the Lincoln Associate Professor of Ethics in Biotechnology and Medicine, in SOLS. He conducts research and teaching at the intersection of bioethics and the philosophy of science. He has published extensively on ethical, conceptual, and methodological issues in developmental biology and evolution, and his current work focuses primarily on translational research in neuroscience. He is funded by the National Science Foundation and the James S. McDonnell Foundation to explore how neuroscientists do (and how they should) attempt to justify their research with non-human animals in the pursuit of findings relevant to humans. He is also interested in population and public health ethics, and in the social determinants of health. Dr. Robert directs the Bioethics, Policy, and Law Program (BPL) in the Center for Biology and Society at ASU, administering the Biology MS and PhD concentrations in BPL, as well as the Biomedical and Health Ethics track of the new MA in Applied Ethics and the Professions. Dr. Robert is also Director of the Medicine and Society theme at The University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix in partnership with Arizona State University, responsible for teaching and mentoring in the domains of bioethics and medical humanities, and he serves as Director of Education for the Scholarly Project at the medical school.

@buffboynick yes we should

@patmac573

its because they have been blinded by organized religions, creationism, and the myth of Darwinism (specifically macroevolution). All of which is used as propaganda.

I think they dont want to accept that all this bio-diversity here didnt just magically appear or "evolve". It was brought here and then some of it was modified over time through genetic engineering.

Right now, us humans should use genetic engineering to fix the numerous flaws in our human genome.

@buffboynick how right you are my friend, if only the rest of the world would open their eyes.....

[buffboynick]

Us Homo Sapiens are the result of such lab-induced hybridization.

Homo Sapiens = ape DNA (orangutans, chimps, gorillas) and alien DNA

In space......there are no "morals" or "ethics" among many species of ET. They just do genetic engineering to gain further understanding, to benefit their own race, and to make more "manageable" forms of slave-like life for them to manipulate.
