...addition to the host of valid ecological and ethical objections to modifying other organisms, this case also points out some of the unacceptable technological flaws with biotechnology. Technologies whose side effects cannot be completely controlled fail to meet all of the purposes for which they were created, and therefore are insufficient. When a Pentium chip, for example, makes a mistake every million calculations, it's immediately recalled because its effects are unpredictable...
Diversity. Broadening horizons. That's what college is all about, right? While many institutions of higher learning profess to offer students new perspectives as one of their main goals, their actions fail to back up their claims.

Shouldering clerical duties for a professor does not enhance the edification of graduate students--if anything, the work detracts from their studies. These extra tasks should bestow graduate students...
