And God said, "Let there be light"
Just throwing that out for the inevitable discussion about abortion and when does life begin.
Feed chickens lots of colorful veggies and bugs and you get the good eggs!
My thought reading Chick was smoke and mirrors...
I speculate the effect is particularly pronounced with cannabis users ;)
I could be wrong.
Well, I assume the Big Bang was accompanied by a big flash of light so it follows that the lit....do I have to spell it out?!
Fascinating article, but I understand (imperfectly) chicklit’s point that the light is not sourced from the egg, but reflected off of it.
I am unsure what to think about fertility treatments. There does not seem to be a consistent ethical respect for life. The commercialization of eggs and embryos is offensive, and the implantation of multiple lives knowing that some will be aborted later is flat out wrong. I recognize this is a new field of science, and the first wave of any new therapy probably kills more patients than it saves, but those deaths would not be a reason to stop research if the ultimate goal is to promote life. It has also made a lot of happy parents, especially women who could not have been fulfilled in quite the same way.
Again I end up in the “optimistic but don’t know” category.
EBL- As kids we could tell when spring was here cause the yolks turned from pale yellow (corn mash and table scraps) to bright orange (grass and insects and whatever else they could find)
Hey, they said there would be fireworks!
