# Baby from dead husband's sperm. (BBC) A woman in the United States has
given birth after conceiving from sperm taken from her dead husband, who
died of an allergic reaction. It is the first known birth of its kind in
the US. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_305000/305302.stm
: Should you be reproduced after your death? Should such reproduction be
managed by your family, friends, schools, gov't, aliens, spies, deities?

# Biometrics comes to Washington - Big Brother is measuring you. Biometrics
are all those new technologies that make sure you are who you say you are,
by scanning the iris of your eye (no poking allowed), reading your palm (I
see an FBI checkpoint in your future), or listening to your voice (now tell
it to the judge). If you watch "The X-Files," you know what I'm talking
about. www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_franke/19990325_xcdfr_biometrics.shtml
: Is your DNA more likely to be used for your health, your security, your
exploitation, your subjugation; for the entertainment of bored Reptilioids?

# Everybody can see the future - it's official. (BBC) Tiny cells in the eye
"predict" the future. Seeing the future is not limited to clairvoyants and
fortune-tellers - we can all do it, according to Harvard scientists, who
have been looking at the human ability to respond to an object that travels
literally too fast for the eye to have time to transmit its image to the
brain. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_305000/305411.stm
: How extensive is your future vision? Can you see speeding UFOs before they
land? Can you see supersonic bullets before they strike?

# It's alive! (CSM) Good old Dr. Frankenstein, he stuck to the basics.
He simply took one from column A, two from column B, sewed it all together.
Which is kind of the idea behind TechnoSphere, an artificial life envir-
onment that allows visitors to piece together their own creatures, and
then follow their progress in a three-dimensional virtual world. See

: What sorts of ALs (Artificial Lifeforms) do you prefer? Would you rather
have living or AL pets, neighbors, politicians? Would you eat an AL burger?

> ROCKET LAUNCHED FROM PACIFIC PLATFORM. A rocket roared off a converted oil
platform floating in the equatorial Pacific in the first test of an interna-
tional venture's oceangoing satellite launch system. The Ukrainian- and Rus-
sian-built Zenit-3SL rocket carried a dummy satellite as it lifted off from
Odyssey, a self-propelled platform stationed 1,400 miles south of Hawaii.

corporation and ministate trying to cash in on space frenzy? D'ya want one?

# Brazilian Church Experiences Healing. BRASILIA (CBN) Like many South Amer-
ican cities, Brasilia has a strong spiritual dynamic that includes spiritism
and witchcraft. But there is also a strong Christian community that is grow-
ing. At Central Baptist Church, Pastor Vilarindo Lima, 73, credits his long-
evity at the church with the workings of the Holy Spirit, with healings, and
salvation. He showed confirmations of God's healing power. He has the X-rays
that reveal a woman's back was badly bent, but after prayer the spine was
corrected. He has many more stories of supernatural healings. "We have seen
cures of cancer, AIDS, lupus" - http://www.the700club.org/cwn/990225d.asp
: If deities heal, why aren't believers physically immortal? If you believe
but you die anyway, why bother? If deities cause the diseases and ailments
they later heal, aren't these gods running confidence rackets? Do you care?

comprised her luncheon outfit, Fourseas Breck felt certain that if that
oily,
self-proclaimed vegetarian Xaar Glenn Blen, ruler of the Neh world, served
her another of those thick, gamey steaks cloned from his inner thigh, she
would blow her lunch, if not her cover." --Constance Clark Reese
