Would you buy/eat meat from cloned animals?

Are humans evolved monkeys?

I've heard this issue (evolution) framed this way before, and I've always felt like the question misses the point. Humans are not evolved monkeys. Monkeys are evolved monkeys. But humans are still ...

Are humans evolved monkeys?

cabrunne says:

cabrunne says:
I agree, all water that remains on earth is eventually recycled at some point. On the other hand, ejecting urine into space will never be recyled again. Seems like a waste of a valuable resource.
