TechnocraticSocialists Decides:
Genetics Brings New Life to Extinct Species
Government Acts
The Issue
Scientists have announced they are close to a breakthrough in their quest to revive the feather-bellied reptile, a species related to TechnocraticSocialists's national animal that has been extinct for more than a century.
The Debate
1. "I, for one, applaud their work," says scientist Abraham Utopia. "And not just because I'm the project leader. This is an example of how TechnocraticSocialists's brains can mix it with the world's best. Can you imagine how wonderful it will be to have feather-bellied reptiles frolicking in the meadows again? I say full steam ahead, and more government funding!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
2. "This is a sacrilege!", says religious leader Violet Longfellow. "These animals are extinct because God wants them dead. Cloning them would merely incur his wrath! If we proceed down this path, it'll be humans, not the feather-bellied reptile, who will be extinct."
[Accept]
3. "Now, come on," says Hope Jefferson, well-known philosopher. "You don't need to be religious to be unnerved by the top of this particular slippery slope. Today it's reptiles, tomorrow it's dinosaurs, and we all know how that turns out. This research shouldn't be banned, but there must be strict government controls over its use."
[Accept]
The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 1.
If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.
hmm i thought dinos where reptiles.... :-)
