A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

You are moving into "fail" territory with this less than mediocre response.

Yes, well coming from the master of witty comebacks that really hurts...

What would the typical Sojourn retort be to something like that, I wonder :?:
Probably a big tantrum in all caps with toys thrown out of cots culminating in a ban.

Damn, why couldn't I be more like you.

Oooh. Bitchy. *Grabs popcorn* P.S. religion sucks (which was the original topic).

My GF goes to church and her parents are anal Christians who I'm sure will spray 'holy' water on me when I go round for dinner sometime.
Luckily my GF is a naughty Christian.

Right so to bring the whole debate about life being sacred at any given time frame how does one deal with this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teratoma
A teratoma is an encapsulated tumor with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of all three germ layers. There are rare occasions when not all three germ layers are identifiable. The tissues of a teratoma, although normal in themselves, may be quite different from surrounding tissues, and may be highly disparate; teratomas have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and, very rarely, more complex organs such as eye,[1][2] torso,[3][4] and hands, feet, or other limbs.[5]

Usually, however, a teratoma will contain no organs but rather one or more tissues normally found in organs such as the brain, thyroid, liver, and lung. Sometimes, the teratoma has within its capsule one or more fluid-filled cysts; when a large cyst occurs, there is a potential for the teratoma to produce a structure within the cyst that resembles a fetus. Because they are encapsulated, teratomas are usually benign, although several forms of malignant teratoma are known, and some of these are common forms of teratoma. A mature teratoma is typically benign and found more commonly in females, while an immature teratoma is typically malignant and is more often found in males.

Teratomas are thought to be present at birth (congenital), but small ones often are not discovered until much later in life.

Definitive medical diagnosis of a teratoma is based on its histology; this diagnosis is made by a pathologist.
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... C5E.d01t02
Abstract
BACKGROUND

Mature ovarian cystic teratomas, which are commonly observed benign ovarian tumors, consist of ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal components that are generally disorganized. In this report, we document a case in which the solid portion of an ovarian teratoma demonstrated considerable differentiation, forming a doll-like structure.
CASE

A 25-year-old virginal Japanese woman underwent surgery for an ovarian tumor that was diagnosed as a mature teratoma. A solid mass within the tumor was found to have a head, trunk, and extremities. Consequently, this mass was diagnosed as a mature fetiform teratoma (homunculus). Brain, eye, spinal nerve, ear, teeth, thyroid gland, bone, bone marrow, gut, trachea, blood vessels, and phallic cavernous tissue were confirmed microscopically. Distinctive features were the clear anterior-posterior, ventral-dorsal, and left-right axes, with a spatially well-organized arrangement of the organs. An eye was located on the front of the head, a spinal nerve lay dorsal to the spinal bones, the thyroid gland was anterior to the trachea, and the gut was deep inside the trunk.
CONCLUSIONS

These findings indicate that the information necessary for organization of the body plan may be conserved and transmitted, even with parthenogenesis. Mature cystic teratomas of the ovary are mostly benign and do not always attract detailed attention. However, precise analyses of such tumors may significantly enhance our understanding of both parthenogenetic and normal human development.

Tumor in Colorado newborn's brain contained foot


Link to this page
A pediatric neurosurgeon says a tumor he removed from the brain of a Colorado Springs infant contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts.

Dr. Paul Grabb said he operated on Sam Esquibel at Memorial Hospital for Children after an MRI showed a microscopic tumor on the newborn's brain. Sam was 3 days old and otherwise healthy.

Grabb said that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot and the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh.

"It looked like the breach delivery of a baby, coming out of the brain," Grabb said. "To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of."

Grabb isn't sure what caused the growth but says it may have been a type of congenital brain tumor. However, such tumors usually are less complex than a foot or hand, he said.

The growth may also have been a case of "fetus in fetu" — in which a fetal twin begins to form within another — but such cases very rarely occur in the brain, Grabb said.

Sam's parents, Tiffnie and Manuel Esquibel, said their son is at home now but faces monthly blood tests to check for signs of cancer or regrowth, along with physical therapy to improve the use of his neck. But they say he has mostly recovered from the Oct. 3 surgery.

"You'd never know if he didn't have a scar there," Tiffnie Esquibel said.

Thank you, Kalster. I really don't mind long posts, I need to see the reasoning behind beliefs in order to understand them. You mostly take the time to make yours clear which is why I asked you specifically, I appreciate the effort.

I will read through your post carefully and respond early next week.

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Maybe in 200 years the Vegetarians will be a new race capable of photosynthesis and absorbing nutrients from soil. Guess we animal eaters will probably use them in soups by then.
