-
- lots of talk lately about when life begins.
- answer: when you are born.
- (or born-again, depending on who you are
- talking to and what spectrum you are talking
- about.)
-
- but now on to more philosophical, socratic
- discussions.
-
- when does potential life begin?
-
- are we so proud of our sperm that each is
- a potential life? do millions of would-be
- souls scream in agony as they race out of my
- penus and discover that they are in a
- condom?
-
- is every egg a potential life? is pms a
- mask for guilt that results from not fulfilling
- that "life"'s potential?
-
- when is a soul set aside for a life?
-
- or is life like an overloaded function?
- can it exist without a soul, but with room
- for that variable when it needs it.
-
- mark.
-
- oo questions for today:
- can genetics be simulated with inheritance?
- is jesus a superset or subset of human?
