Valerie's latest patent find is so creepy and chilling to me.  Perhaps
someday babies will be made and carried in test tubes, and fed  human milk
made by
goats?
What is the point of it  all?



****************************************************
In (about) 1984 there was an article in (I believe) Scientific magazine  that
talked about an era that would be coming soon in which babies would be
carried by cows and goats, thus relieving women of the burden of gestating a
pregnancy.  The article was NOT written tongue in cheek as some might  suppose, but
was very serious about the whole thing.  I remember reading it  (I was
pregnant w/ Timothy at the time), and then went to a conference (in  Madison, WI??)
where Sheila Kitzinger lectured and talked about this very  thing.

So not so far fetched, Nikki, except that the babies would be made in test
tubes and gestated by animals.

Chilling.
