amezriThings I learned in Chemistry today:
Peter Singer, the Chair of Bioethics at Princeton is a huge supporter of animal rights, environmental conservation, and lost family during the Holocaust. When he gives lectures in Germany, he is booed off stage, but in the Western world, he is seen as a great academic philosopher. Wanna know what his views are? He believes that infants are not people because they are not self-aware and therefore, parents have the right to terminate a child's life up to the age of 30 days. Also, he believes that the mentally and physically disabled have no rights and it is more human to put them out of their misery because their quality of life could never improve.
In other amusing news: A couple are married and want children later, but want to focus on their careers, so they have their embryos frozen. The couple divorce, but the wife decides she wants the child anyways. She goes to the clinic or wherever and is implanted. She has the baby and promptly sues the ex-husband for child support. The court judge decides that the ex-husband is not the biological father of this child - the technician who implanted her is. Therefore, that technician is responsible for paying child support. No word on whether the technician was a man or a woman.
Weirdness in our world.
In relevant news: I got the asp to read the database, but I'm still having problems with the information. Argh.
