Science without respect for human life is degrading to us all and reflects a hollow and deceptive philosophy, a philosophy that we as a people should never condone.

Scientific advancement should aim to affirm and to improve human life.

With scientific advances, Congress must now make changes to reflect new therapeutic options.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

This is magic we're talking about. It's supposed to go places science can't, defy logic, wink at technology, fill us all with the sensawunda that comes of gazing upon a fictional world and seeing something truly different from our own.

Take all the hype out of the exercise and think of it as brushing your teeth.

A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.
