For those who haven’t checked, here is the current status of the poll I fashioned to see how y’all read the tea leaves. The question posed was this: “In the next twenty years, what is the most likely scenario?” I gave five possible answers to choose from. Here is how you see the future so far:
Embryonic Stem Cells Provide Most of the Cures Promised by Proponents—6%
The First Human Cloned Baby is Born—16%
Chimpanzees Are Declared to Be Legal Persons—6 %
Fetal Farming Is Used to Supply Organs for Transplantation—31%
The First Death-On-Demand Suicide Clinic Opens—40%
It’s not too late to look into your crystal balls and tell us what you see. If you want to do so, just hit this link.
I liked this poll. I’ll post others as the muse hits me.
