thanks Calin, when I made the actual print i burned that section out. i'm not all too up on PS and making alterations with it unless i plan to actually print, so most of the stuff on here just gets scanned and posted. i appreciate the comments.
another thought provoking comment, thank you. i agree with you here. modern science is too powerful to be stopped, and it shouldn't be. i am no proponent of a regression to old traditions, although i think in many ways the world is regressing, but i do realize that all science has its cost. just as we have seen in history, science will work to solve some of our greatest problems while creating new and more dangerous ones. our unstoppable quest for new knowledge and discovery causes this to continue. i don't like governments or people of authority trying to rule what people or science do, which leaves just morals and conscious to keep things in check, which sometimes i question.
When something like human life loses its sanctity, all else goes down with it and is trivialized. The individual is trivialized, devalued. Cloning opens up a whole new bag of worms. It's something that's inevitable, so why even prevent it. There's some good to be gotten from it, but the extremes are going to be difficult and damaging. There will be paths that man will take that will put him on the brink of destruction. That's the way it is with all living things. If successful, a new level is achieved.
