Yes!!! I'm so pleased that you ended with Siduri's advice! I know that it's some scientists jobs to pursue this kind of thing, but I also wonder if it's the "right" thing to do; ethically and morally...is there some things in this world that we not supposed to mess around with. Similar to Pandora's box; perhaps we shouldn't know what's inside.
Thank you for two great posts, and I mean great !! I'm so pleased that yours were my first read today; the history lover in me completely enjoyed them both :)
