I'm very aware that many developments are not at all good news in reality, for instance the medicalisation of childhood would appear to be to profit corporations, as would a great deal of the stifling of scientific debate and curtailing of academic freedom that Professor Cribbs touched on in the first paper of his that I mentioned. I'm using those as examples here because I mentioned them both in the earlier post.
To dismiss things as 'impossible' or very unlikely, can be as dangerous as being OVERLY optimistic about new developments, in that those developments that are not intended as an asset to humanity can creep up behind too many people and by the time they realise that it WAS possible, its often too late to try to keep the development in the public interest.
Best I can explain. I'm not a scientist or a professional, and I'm not currently in Australia - at the time of writing the last comment I think it was around 2 am which maybe accounts for the lack of clarity. Its actually late evening here now and I'm not particularly good at expressing things well at the best of times, let alone when tired :)
