Voulez-vous Coucher Avec Biotechnology Ce Soir?

A big biotech conference in San Francisco has of course drawn protesters. Yesterday, one of the speakers inside the conference was, for some reason, Brooke Shields, who tried to chide the protesters, but may have accidentally given everyone a brand-new reason to shut down biotech. From the Associated Press:

Actress Brooke Shields told an audience Wednesday that she became a mother because of advances in biotechnology.

Yes, thanks to biotech, Brooke Shields is breeding. Consider the implications. More from the noted issues analyst:

Shields said she was puzzled by the anti-biotechnology protesters who had targeted the convention, saying they must not realize how biotechnology can help people.

"Some of these people need to get a life," Shields said.

If you think Brooke is puzzled, wait till you see yourself after the actual last sentence of the article:

Shields was joined in her presentation by singer Patti LaBelle.
