Drugs cause DNA mutations

[wum]

Cocaine and ecstasy not only cause addiction and raise the risk of cancer but also provoke genetic mutations, Italian scientists said today.

"Cocaine and ecstasy have proved to be more dangerous than we had imagined," said Giorgio Bronzetti, chief scientist at the National Centre for Research's (CNR) biotechnology department.

"These drugs, on top of their toxicological effects, attack DNA, provoking mutations and altering the hereditary material. This is very worrying for the effects it could have on future generations," he said.

Eh, I'll believe this when I can find an actual peer-reviewed journal article on it and not some media report. Drug "research" like this is notoriously biased. And don't worry too much about genetic alterations, prospective parents. Our bodies are designed to adapt to some alteration and "degradation" of genetic material.

If you're really concerned about genetics, you'll realize that the lack of a proper eugenics program and our humanitarian belief that every life should be saved if possible is going to cause issues several dozen generations down the line (and there may be hints at it already). We need to re-exert some kind of selection pressure on humanity.

It's called the gay/lesbian community.


Not to imply that anyone's unfit to breed... its just a practical side effect of having a relationship with someone of the same gender.

Lesbians could get pregnant, but it sure as hell wouldn't happen without alot of planning beforehand, which means none of this 6 kid family farm bullcrap.

[-ff-]

OMG!

It must be a secret Muslim plot to decay the moral entity of the west!
So that is what all of those Afgani poppy fields are about!

Good thing God's chosen white people never traffic in or profit from drugs, eh Wum?
