How? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ UNDERGROUND MAZES. Since the declassification of the new ground-penetra- ting radar 2 years ago, the most staggering data has emerged of complex & labyrinthine underground systems in various parts of the world. At places like Guatemala in the South Americas, tunnels have been mapped under the Mayan pyramid complex at Tikal, which extend a full 800 kilometres to the opposite side of the country. Investigators remarked, it was possible to understand how half a million Mayan Indians escaped the decimation of their culture. http://members.tripod.com/~Ravenwoods/index-55Giza.html @ The Stargate Conspiracy - Revealing the truth behind extraterrestrial contact, military intelligence and the mysteries of Ancient Egypt.

(Wired) With the mapping of the human genome, some scientists wonder if the development will bring about a movement to create 'designer humans.' Others salivate over the prospect of Godhood. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,37219,00.html?tw=wn20000626 # 'Designer people' unlikely. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists who announced virtual completion of the human genetic pattern said Monday that they saw little likelihood that this new knowledge would be used to build "designer people" or change patterns of heredity. Some folk are fearful that science will change genes so succeeding generations will inherit these changes. This is called germline manipulation. But how else will we improve the species? http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567666954-f77 : Have you designed any people lately? Are you disappointed at the results? Would you like to scrub the genome clean and start over? What species would make the best base to build from?

(AP) Liver cells have been found to come from an unlikely source -bone marrow- raising the possibility that people with hepatitis and other liver diseases could somehow use their own cells to heal themselves, http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000627/08/liver-cells # Sizing Up Nanotechnology. (Wired) Scientists say atomic machines could solve many of the world's ills and reinvent computing. One biophysicist cautions that we still have much to learn. What? How could that be?!?!? http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,37217,00.html?tw=wn20000626 : Should/can/will humans rebuild themselves biogenetically? Should/can/will such work be stopped?
