...admit the notion of human chimeras is still unnerving and worthy of debate, but we must not look at the issue as a slippery slope. Humankind (researchers and the rest of us alike) has always proceeded with some trepidation on genetic research, and caution is usually the rule of thumb. In fact, with the charged morality of the chimera issue, it is highly unlikely that any scientist would try to create a species with near-human intellect and even more inconceivable that they could do so with the hopes of monetary profit that Newman has in mind as motivation...

They were women on the move, and I wanted to be just like them. At a time when earth-mother chic was just beginning its resurgence, I wanted elegance.

Scoring a perfect 1600 on the SAT? Well, I guess that's pretty meritorious, I have to admit it. But, no, wait a minute. What is "merit" really? Could "merit" possibly be one of those terms your TF would applaud you for labeling--yikes, I shudder and clench my teeth to use the faddish descriptor--"socially-constructed...
