With glasses tripping off his nose and tube socks nipping at his knees, the guy was a geek, explaining the intricacies of an esoteric display.

Although a societal rebuke against cannibalism is understandable, can it really be said that eating tissue from a test tube is the same as eating a person?While the last example is rather whimsical, the criticism remains. Using technological developments to bypass ethical restrictions sets a poor precedent. At best it’s a blithe disregard for the spirit of the law, with an overemphasis on the letter...
