I just love these guys. Evidently the whole foundation of modern medicine is now a deadly sin! Namely those unethical double-blind clinical trials which, of course, require experimenting on hapless humans. But of course life was much better before with plagues, no antibiotics, no anesthesia for surgeries, etc... Thankfully animal experimentation still gets the thumbs-up from God, but then you get those pesky ASPCA guys on your back. You just can't win!
And genetic modification–I guess that means that all those farmers since the advent of modern agriculture went straight to hell? I mean, corn is a 100% genetically engineered plant that didn't exist in nature until we created it by selecting for specific phenotypic traits, so surely that must count. Oh! And not to mention all that genetic selection we did to make poodles and rottweilers and great danes and stuff. Damn. No wonder western society is all fucked up.

Don't forget being obscenely wealthy. Looks like your dream of creating a fortune by selling cats with opposable thumbs as labor to Big Oil is out, Fuge.
Unless...you want to go to hell????
That one confused me. They should put an actual dollar amount on that, because right now, one minute you're doing a good job at work, and the next, you're slated to burn for all eternity. What if you're so good at your job that you just can't give away all your money fast enough? I mean, there really aren't enough hours in Gates' day to shed all that sin-soaked wealth. They really didn't think that one through; and it would stink of sore-losermanship, if the Vatican itself weren't obscenely wealthy.
Charlton Heston is the man.
