I thought Viagra had that nailed already. When that artificial life comes stomping through Encinitas, I'll be concerned. San Francisco...I'll buy the DVD. Personally, and selfishly, Science can do whatever it wants to...I'm almost done and need some new entertainment. ;-)

Ultimately everything is in the hands of private enterprise me thinks. If market driven somewhat more reliable than vote driven. I thnk it will be interesting not just what they come up but with the direction they eventually go in...then your caution comes into play.
