Where Do We Draw the Line? It’s a rare occasion that I find something interesting on television after school, but just last week I saw the most incredible thing. I was watching Oprah and just as she broke for a commercial she said, “Coming up next: you won’t believe your eyes: we’ll show you a human ear grown in a laboratory- on the back of a lab rat! Stay tuned!” Now, I usually change the channel during commercial breaks, but that day Oprah kept my eyes fixated on the television from the moment those words entered my very disbelieving ears until the moment the credits rolled. Sure enough, when Oprah came back, she showed a clip of a human ear, growing on the back of a lab rat.
