Boffins Make Bloke Happy, Talk Sense
Jun. 20th, 2007 06:07 pmFirst, they've declared that the cervical cancer jab should be rolled out to girls. Yay! A jab against cancer! Bloody marvellous - and so good to see that they haven't got bogged down in the rubbish that snarls the Americans, where HPV's status as a sexually-transmitted disease means that the fundies are upset about injecting young kids. Um, hello? The idea is you inoculate them before they're active. In the real world, 12-13 is ideal. This is a jab for a nasty cancer. Moral balance, you doofs.
A second bunch of boffins have said that a badger cull would be useless in preventing TB in cattle. It would only work if one could totally extinctify the wheezy brocks, which I'm glad to say is as technically impossible as it is morally repugnant. Various farmers who haven't read the science are grumbling about how the Government really ought to commit speciecide to protect their profits - I'm embarassed to say, most of them seem to be from round here.
And yay to Jessie Jacobsen for coming up with a transgenic model for Huntington's. Morality of animal experimentation and transgenic programmes? I say go for it. I would. I'm the one with the spongy brain, who stuck his Dad in a box from the same thing earlier this year. If you oppose this but haven't got a direct link, a direct reason to be interested, just think of the Lottery logo: It could be you. Next. Soon. and frankly if you're not a vegan anyway, you can sod right off for the hypocrite you are. Thanks, Jessie.
