Motherdragon's answers
-
1. Cloning Organs
Advancing the species
-
2. Cloning Plants
Advancing the species
-
3. Cloning Animals
Advancing the species, this can provide more food the the growing population of humans. As long as they are treated humanly.
-
4. Cloning Humans
I would say advancing the species, but the world is so over-populated already. I feel it would be compromising the species by multipling us any futher than we are already doing naturally.
-
5. Blood Transfusions
Advancing the species

6. Life support

7. Fertility treatments

8. Men carrying a child in artificial uttero
Messing with nature
-
9. Men Breastfeeding without the use of hormone treatments
Neither: If no interventions are needed then it is just nature as is
-
10. Men Breastfeeding with the use of hormone treatments
Advancing the species

ADVANCING THE SPECIES (THEY ONLY DO THIS WHEN NECESSARY)

Aren't those 50% of so called pure breads known to be less healthy. I really need to research this. It's very interesting, and I really should be more aware. I had no clue about the produce, but have heard bits and pieces of information about dogs.
-
Actually it is quite the opposite. Pure breads are frequently inbread because many of them come into the states in such short supply. One top of that pure breads frequently have spicific health problems due to their size, shape, hair densisity etc...Pugs(sinus problems) mastifs, and great danes(hip problems) Chows (skin problems) By cross breading you can cause these problems to be far less prominate. Some "Pure bread" dogs of today that are actually the result of cross breading are: Miniature Bulldog (bulldog/pug), Scoland terrier (Scottish Terrier/Westie mix), and a Blue Spaniel (Australian Catle Dog/Cocker Spaniel mix), just to name a few.
-
Cross breeds are healthier than pure breeds, as motherdragon already said. There are only a few breeds that are pure and still quite healthy, like Basenji, just to name one.

Oh and I really liked this survey! Had to ask these questions from my husband as well, to see what his thoughts were =)
-
Excellent survey, I really enjoyed it.
-
I loved this survey,made me rethink some things,Very important questions.Kool!!!
-
Just an FYI, for those that are interested. Everything mentioned on this survey has been done and/or is in the process of being done except for two things. If you know or would like to guess what those things are fell free to reply below. The answer will be located in a journal posts shortly.
-
The topics that have not been attempted are now available under my journal post!
-
I'm going to guess.......Men breastfeeding with the use of hormone treatments,and men carrying a child in artificial utero. Now I'm off to your journal post to find out LOL

Some things are messing with nature to a detriment or unforseen negative consequences, some are just messing with nature for no reason other than to mess with it, some are messing with nature but with a positive benefit to advancing the species. A balance is so very important when going against the natural order. Cloning organs is good, encouraging twinning good, but cloning a person for the sake of harvesting their organs would be bad.
