Eh, we're biologically conditioned to want to pass on our own genes, with raising someone else's a definite second. We're slowly getting past our monkey natures, but I don't expect it to be quick.

Ah, I still think Eccleston was the most fantastic (of the new ones).

Because our lifestyle is to change the environment. We're bred to adjust things to fit us, and that's why we're such an incredibly effective species. Also, the lifestyle change that would be required is enormous.

Get used to it. For a site designed for technology geeks, they're not very good at using search.

That is a disturbing number of things that are animated.
