As for Flashpoints rant about religions, dude, you need a reality check before you go flying off the handle with such an irrational rant.]]>Mar 12th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/

My rant isn't irrational. The Vatican has claimed biotechnology is a "sin" while it also taxes prostitution.

That's irrational...that is BLASPHEMY.]]>Mar 12th 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/
And your notions about religion sanctioning female circumcision? Please, some segment of an oppressive culture in Africa is hardly sanctioning by religion. Most abuses by religions are normally the culture overtaking any given religion and distorting original teachings for the sake of political power. Your idea that China has the right idea about persecuting religion, or that they somehow take science to the max, is ludicrous. They are vastly more oppressive than the vast majority of religions extant.]]>Mar 12th 2008 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/Mar 12th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/bio-electronic-implant-seeks-to-restore-partial-sight/http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Blade_Runner):

In other words, the "new sight" will be blobs and blurrs, impressions really, unlike focused and accurate nornmal vision. This blob or that blob of colored light would indicate this or that amount of distance or object, and there would be a learning curve for the patient.
