They are auctioning off the eggs of models....

Last Edit November 2, 1999

They are auctioning off the eggs of models. Female of course.
To be followed by auctioned male sperm from male models.
Say what?
Well, it was to be expected once they said you couldn't auction off a baby.
And they tried.
Back up the process.
The future is here folks. All that stuff science fiction wrote about.
Never mind mosquitoes in amber.
Never mind adding frog DNA to dinosaurs.
Never mind that they have a full frozen carcass of a woolly mammoth and are going to clone one (with today's elephants).
Of course, THAT I find interesting. I want to see that one.
And, of course, we could clone an ancient virus......by accident.
And Mammoths come in different sizes.
And what kind of temperament would it have? Would it kill its keepers?
Thought it was over when they did the sheep?
Fasten your seat belt!
Now we are to have our children be designer-imaged.
No thank you.
No clothes racks.
And the fathers are to be what?
Have you looked closely at what parades down the runways?
Attractive is not a word for the majority of what I see there.
Male or female.
Abnormal is the word. Heroin-chicks.
Why would we clone that?
Or help it to reproduce?
Surely there are better things to do with this science.
New eyes.
New ears.
New limbs.
Grow new livers.
Grow new kidneys. "He gave me a pill and I grew a new kidney?" Star Trek personified.
Cure disease.
Are we that fashion-conscious?
Other than liking to look at the stuff the designers say we should wear - notice how we all wear pretty much the same thing.
Pants. Tee. Jacket. Sweats.
I spend the week-end in either an old bathing suit - if it is warm - or a flannel night gown - if it is cold.
Comfort clothes.
First and foremost.
We hunt for the cheapest sneaker in the store.
I'm opting for Keds. OR I go barefoot.
We want jeans. Stretch jeans.
Elastic waist.
For sitting.
Washable.
For wearing.
We like it, we wear it. Regardless.
We have dresses - and we wear them far more than once.
Where did that silly rule come from?
And then there is reality.
The majority of us do not wear less than size 14.
No way. Never again.
The MAJORITY.
So why the push for model eggs?
The Mensa database didn't sell well either!
Thank you. I'll just hatch my own.
