Question:
How close are we to cloning humans?
Is there evidence that humans are becoming more intelligent?
How much money is invested each year in AIDS research?
Replies:
Some guesses, 'cause I don't know the exact answers: (1) not close,
and we don't know how far because we don't know if it is possible
at all; (2) I don't think so. If anything you'd expect the reverse,
since there is no evolutionary pressure (you don't have to be smart
to have kids); (3) about 1-2 billion dollars a year in the U.S.
