That's not the point I was trying to make. Even if, by some tiny chance, you were able to implant an embryo with the proper genes to allow growth of wings successfully, the result could not fly. Sprouting a pair of wings from our shoulders/limbs will not allow us to fly. Our bodies are not designed for flight. In order to fly, our bodies would have to be very similar to a flying animal's. You cannot achieve this by just inserting several genes, and even if attainable, the end result would ultimately be pointless. Not nessceceryly (cant spell....) over millenia the test subjects children would evolve slowly but surely ending up with hollow bones smaller figures and wing size an eagle has an 8-foot wingspan imagine how big the wings would have to be it is nonlikely but not impossible

IM BACK!! :biggrin:

Did you read Vagrant's post at all? Birds have specialized bodies, designed for flight. These bodies developed over thousands upon thousands of years. If you've picked up a bird before, you may notice that it weighs very little. Unlike us. Our bodies are not designed for flight, and never will be. Not to mention the countless social and ethical complications that would arise even if it were possible. How would we go about testing this? The reason for the body taking thousands of years is because it happened naturally this is artificial

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

What makes it non realistic?

I win STOP ive got a headache because of this

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter...

ive been high before never made me shoot someone!

While I agree with some of the sentiments, just because someone is in prison doesn't necessarily mean that they are guilty or deserve to be human guinea pigs. As long as there is the potential for wrongful incarceration, such a thing couldn't be morally imposed. Additionally, people who have a tendency toward violence or other destructive behavior probably wouldn't make for a very good test sample. Kinda why when any drug goes to human trials, they almost always screen out people with pre-existing, unrelated issues. Atleast rats, mice, zebra fish, and rabbits can be tested reliably without the chance of anything else conflicting with the data. I never said to force them...Let them volunteer.They might as well do something for society since they have already proved their incapability to live in it! now here you and I agree. I think the choice of lethal injection, the gas chamber,electric chair is more than fitting. Bring back Public hangings...some criminals might think twice! Acutally i prefer the public shooting... but anyway thats not what i was going for death row inmates should be given a choice between death or testing and life in prison

Go Christmas!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_%28card_game%29 My attempt at injecting some humor into a topic which might be the cause of some heated debates and hurt feelings. Thts what i was thinking what was going to happenbut no ones posting here anyway... :whistling:

Im suprised this wasnt here i think we should be fighting

Don't disrespect the criminals! and for the record the human animal thing technically we are animals but when was the last time a bear said hi to you and the poor defenseless thing i think that bears can handle themselves don't mean to disrespect just stating the obvious don't disrespect,murderers,rapists and child molesters!!!!! what planet do you live on.Their not worth the food they eat,nor the air they breath and you defend them!!!!! My god are you insane? ( no disrespect) i didnt say nothing about no child molesters they can burn for all i care but i have no problems with murder as long as there is a reason involved no killing innocents nothing like that anyway no offense to nobody but this is my opinion
