Does HTML code work in here when it's set on HTML mode?
It's that time of the semester again! Schedule planning! As always I took this as a time to look ahead and behind me and see what I'm interested in and if I like the direction my classes and other choices are taking me. In short, the answer is yes, I like my classes, my plan, and my life ( Read more... )

Speaking of genetically modifying animals, have you read Oryx and Crake? Because if not, you should. It's very good.

Also, the longevity stuff you mentioned sort of pops up in the Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars trilogy. (but in that case there is definite social inequality involved, which makes things interesting)

PS - We must live in the future, because what we do (or are learning to do) sounds like sci-fi.

I plan to read the mars trilogy... after this book, I suppose. I was trying to come up with an eloquent way to express my amazement at the stuff that seems possible given what we know (that for now tends to have horrible consequences (living longer, being super strong but with those infertility and other things are problems, apparently)) and was very close to say "we're living in the future." It's too good a phrase. It's getting cliche-ed.
