Skin Grafts, Needles and Cages

You say you want a revolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction

Don't you know you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright


You say you got a real solution

Well you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well you know

We're doing what we can

But when you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright


You say you'll change the constitution

Well you know

We all want to change your head

You tell me it's the institution

Well you know

You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao

You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright.

What an idiot! That has to be the dumbest thing I've EVER heard! Why would anyone want wings when they can't even use them to fly? It's just so they can look like angels??? Does he think he can play God? I mean there a lot of crazy ideas out there, but I seriously...

I feel sorry for the mouse.

Before anyone gets wings or tails, they should read your story! Maybe they'll think twice afterwards.

I'm sorry, but that's just sick. Yeah, it would be cool to have wings and all, but that's just something you dream about and think, that would be totally awesome! I mean, it's hard for me to really get into this without mentioning my religion, but I think it doesn't matter if you're a Christian or not, this is just wrong. Honestly, I think they should just quit messing with this science stuff cuz they just went to far. Altering ourselves when we function perfectly fine?! I mean, flying is something I've always wanted to do, but this is just sick. I can't seem to get the right words to explain it though.

I just saw a video that had that very mouse today in my health class. And I think that is wrong and inhuman on soooo many levels. The poor mouse is a victim of those doctors.
It's great that scientists are able to come up with new techniques to save people but some stuff that scientists are experimenting with is wrong. God made people the way we are for a reason.

I'm glad that you posted this though, It's englightening and shows everyone how much the world has changed in such a short period of time.

Personally, I wouldn't want wings, unless I could fly with them.

I mean, if you guys weren't being hunted all the time and you were widely known about and accepted; well, you'd be the most idolized people ever! You kinda already are, but... XD

So, yeah, wings are wonderful, but they aren't really a fashion accessory. If you guys need any help taking him down... we're here. :)

Hope you're doing okay. <3

Wings would be awesome, but... I'm sorry no offense, but it's not natural. Even if they were, or are, able to graft or whatever wings on humans, if we couldn't fly, what's the point? I don't want these two wings on my back and they're of no use to me. A tail, however, sounds interesting, but... I don't know. It doesn't sit right in my head.

Be safe and careful!

NOT A GOOD IDEA!

Can you imagine what would happen if people started getting wings and tails and such? We would have even more prejudice and more scientists would get it into their heads that they have to out-do this guy! And then we would have testing on animals and they would eventually need human subjects! What part of that is humane? None of it!!!
Horrible, horrible idea! No!

i wouldn't mind having a pair of wings as well, but not if they're just...flaps of FLESH. urgh...*shudders* still, it's crazy wild, and it will cause a huuuuuuuuge "war", in a sense in the future. but still, i think that the Flock should be the only ones with wings--because they are awesome and can handle it =)

Thats amazing that someone could give you wings and they would connect and you could move them, iknow its wrong, but couldnt it be useful, like if someone was born without legs or something, couldnt you give them new ones? i think its an interesting concept

3 things Fang:

1. That Picture is compleatly heartbreaking( I was like O.O OMIGOSH!!...pause...thump thump)

2. The whole wingged thing from the science freaks is.....freaky in like 5 different languages.

3. I know the price is High from what Max and You have said, but honestly, I say this I WOULD pay for wings. No matter I too, hate scientist(BAD scientist, good ones are fine) but I want to be free and just go whereever it is I need/ want to go. I mean alot of people (obviously) want that.
thats why they read the books, read the blog: Its an excape from the REAL world. Gosh, its bad out here. Alot of the times, I imagine myself as Max justfor fun and imagine that I could fly at the speed of what is it? Sound? I dunno; but honestly have you realized how cool it is? YES, I do relize its "hard" bing in your situation but my situation is hard too. Who's isn't?

Revolution! Best song ever! Especially the version in Across the Universe... that one is sooo good! Gosh I love that song.

Okay, first, that dude sounds Creepy with a capital C. And, two, why the heck would anyone want wings if they can't actually use them? Like, if they could make you fly, it wouldn't be as weird, it would actually be slightly pwnsome. But this, this tops the scale for ridiculous-ness of the human race.

Wow. Poor Mouse. That's awful.

But, to argue a point with gianna, some people don't need to fly. They want the wings for the effect. It's the same as people who file their teeth and pretend to be vampires. I personally don't get it, but I understand where people would be coming from.

P.S. KEEP DOING AWESOME STUFF YOU GUYS.

Oh. My. Gosh. Erm...Maximum Ride books ARE fiction...right???? OK, color me WAY freaked out. But those guys with wings wouldn't be able to fly, I suppose, without a 20-ft wingspan. Technically, they might need to be gigantic and for people who aren't overweight in order for somebody to get off the ground.

The picture on the bottom of the entry is a naked mouse with an ear growing on it. The ear was then taken off after it fully grew and given to someone whose ear had been blown off by an explosive.

It really depends on how people are using science that determines if you should be angry or delighted that they're doing it. In the Flock's case, I'd probably be mad since you guys were taken away from your parents (maybe some of you would rather it that way) but grafting wings on innocent children? That's just way too wrong, especially since you had no choice whether you wanted to have wings or not.

The article that you linked is pretty strange. Why would anyone want wings that don't make you fly? It's just an unneeded accessory; not saying that if there are people who are willing to give wings like yours to the public that you should get them because they help you fly. It won't improve our lives in anyway, especially inside us where our soul is. So what if it's cool to have wings that you can move willingly. They'll just become a burden after a certain amount of time and you won't be able to take them out without a lot of money and a vast amount of pain.

Okay, enough with my little rant...

Hmmm, wings, yes. Wings that can't fly, no.... That really is quite wierd.
Besides, if we ever are going to be able to grow wings to fly with, it won't be through plastic surgery, it'll be through genetic modification. We just have to figure which genes code for wings, hollow bones, feathers, muscles, etc....

I've been doing quite alot of research on topics like that for science, and if someone wants wings all they have to do is graft a pair on, construct the wing bones from coral and use your own fat and skin. pretty cool, huh!?!?

Anonymous said...

Oh my, God. Actually, God isn't even involved in this, considering all these creatures are made in a LAB! That poor mouse. What's the use of having a human ear on it's back? NONE. So they shouldn't be messing with the poor thing. The mouse was fine the way it was before. I love how John Lennon's lyrics in a song are always right, and...peaceful. You don't hear that word nowadays, due to the war US has going on with Iraq. Anyways, I know everyone wants wings, but, I think I am fine the way I am. Max and JP's book turned the human dream of flying, into a total nightmare. Weird how people can do mess with your thoughts, huh? ;)

CJ 512 said...

whoa... that's pretty creepy. and wrong. dr. joe rosen seems a little too ambitious. is he trying to play God or something?does he think "oh, i'm gonna stick wings onto people's backs cuz i feel like it. what could possibly go wrong?" what people don't realize is that when you mess with nature there are consequences. and seriously, are we really ready to deal with these consequences?
also, did anyone else bother to look at the date of the article? it said monday, march 11th, 2002. that means this happened 6 years ago. has dr. rosen been able to graft wings onto human's backs yet?
none of this is meant to offend you, fang, or the flock, of course. you guys are awesome!

HOLY CRAP! I WANT WINGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! that'd hurt so badly though, i'd rather have my DNA spliced with avian DNA so the wings would grow more naturally. But very interesting. The picture of the rat looked sick though, i thought it was a pig at first.

More depressing poetry? For shame, Fang, for shame. This is...interesting. But I'm sort of confused on your opinion about this - your depressing poetry was kinda vague. I mean, this is cosmetic surgery we're talking - they won't be able to fly, and like all plastic surgery, you'd have to be willing for them to do anything to you. And enhanced hearing would be a great thing for seniors who are losing theirs, though the super-solider thing really sickens me.

Ack! Too twisted. Of course, the flock is different — twisted complements some of you (ahem, Gazzy and Iggy). And, for the rest of you, it's the most natural thing for you to have wings.
But for a normal person to have useless wings? A bit past my weird threshold.
And why are humans incapable of leaving things untouched? If you see a giant rock in the forest, you don't turn it over. But, if you get the idea of grafting wings onto a person, then, by all means...
To each his own, I guess.

Ahhh.....what are they doing? Enhancing armies for military use! Giving wings to us (okay must admit it would be cool, but...) look we are human, we should be grateful we are alive-and have homes and food, and technology. It used to be radical to simply get you ears paired, now belly, tongue, nose, eye brow/lids...ext. Now most kids at my school have at least two ear holes (this includes me) plus a bunch with nose peircing. Back to the topic, sure I'd love wings, but I am happy with the surge thats feels like using wing musles when I swim (I think you guys would be beast at that, same muscle area focused on as it sounds like your wings use) or the adrinalin rush when I dive, the wooshing! Sure its not flying and you would probably be disapointed by it..Its good enough for me. As long as I feel strong, and fit, and pretty I am happy. Not to mension so totally uhg! But I guess if someone really wanted too, they should have the right to get wings or a tail or whatever. As long as it doesn't become main stream, like botox, and tummy tucks, and split toungues. I am so sorry this is happening to you!!!

how sick. how utterly disgusting. Does anyone agree with me when I say that mouse doesn't look happy? There's a reason God made that mouse without an ear on its back. Personally? I'm glad someone is fighting this.

That is crazy people should be proud of who they are and not want to change the way they are and if you do get wings or tails or what ever then deep down even if they look real you will know that they aren't STOP TRYING TO BE GOD PEOPLE!!!!!!

Ahhh! This scares me. I mean, sure, it would be cool to have wings, even if I couldn't fly with them, but...
*shudders*
It sounds like...well, human/avian hybrids and the like may not actually be possible yet, but it's looking more and more possible every year. Every few months even. Did you hear about the robot-thing recently made? It's controlled by a sort of 'brain' scientists made by putting rat neurons together. It apparently is the first robot that actually "learns". How long before they progress from testing on animals (which is plenty wrong) to testing on humans/sentient creatures? Heck, they're halfway there, experimenting on chimpanzees and monkeys!
Lovely. Just lovely. Note the very heavy sarcasm.
Perhaps I'm overreacting, but...*shivers*

This is stupid a cosmetic surgen should be allowed/forced to do any surgery he is asked of. The government and laws should not be affected by religion because the idea of playing God is pointless to people who don't believe in God. I would personally love having wings even if I could not fly cause sky diving would be so much more fun. O would not want an ear on my back. But I don't see why this is a big deal.

P.S The lyrics are from the Across the Universe version and not the original Beatles of Revolution. It is an amazing song

Fly on.Fly free,

That poor mouse... it looks like it has an ear stuck to it's side... is that someone's sick idea of a wing? *shudders*

P.s. Who's lyrics are those? If they're your own you really need to get them into a real song. Forget the money that comes with it, and get the lyrics out there.

Luckily that ear wasn't truly genetically engineered, and the mouse was only like that order to help someone. of course, that raises the ethics issue whether a mouse's life is equal to that of a human's, but that's a different can of worms.

I don't really know what to think about people with wings and tails going mainstream, though. It would certainly make freak shows more interesting, but I really don't think it's safe to allow the general public access to this sort of stuff. What next, Cyborgs equipped with laser eyes walking around us? Eek.

Anyway, thanks for keeping us lowly flock followers informed!

"Put bluntly, who the hell would want wings or a tail?"

AMEN TO THAT! *thrusts a fist in the air*

That article absolutely sickened me... the thought that people actually ENJOY the thought of that, that they, WANT to be altered. What if your, "wings" became infected? How would you treat wing infection? And worst yet, how would you explain it to your child (If you had the surgery)? I mean, the child's like, "Mommy/Daddy, why do you have wings, but Daddy/Mommy and I don't?" I don't expect you to say, "Because some Dingbat made a fortune mutating my body and I discovered that, it's not all that it cracked up to be to have wings. And that's why I won't allow you to get wings, because I don't wan't you to be as stupid as me." I mean, if they operate wrong, you could lose use in your shoulders, and arms if they do it wrong. And, I'm sorry, but, do you really trust that pervert attatching a tail down there? Imagine buying clothes? Having to cut a hole in all your clothing to accomodate a tail or *shudders* tails or wings. (I understand you guys already do know this with the wings thing.) Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox and just leave it at that. I voiced my opinion, and that's enough for me.

The human body is fascinating; to be able to accept radical new body parts is really cool. Very sci-fi.

Cool? COOL? I think NOT.
Sure, it SOUNDS interesting enough, but that's just nasty. If we were meant to have wings, we'd have them. If we were meant to have tails, we'd have them. I dunno what you all think, but this is just SICK. You're right guys, it sounds like skin grafts, needles and cages from here on out. How many people are going to DIE because of this? What are they going to test on? Sure, test on mice, but mice aren't people. That's just UNNATURAL.
Rock on, Fang. Give that guy a proper beat-down.

Personally I dont see the point of this. What i really want is to fly, but if i cant do that then why should I waste valuable money on wings i wont get to use? It makes no sense. Besides, it would probably be painful and everyone would treat you as a freak. Imnot gonna insult anyone since everyone has a right to an opinion, but personally it seems freakish and stupid. Why can't people love themselves as they are?

Talk about rad. These stuff, like wings, were built-in for a purpose. No offense to you guys - personally, I like wings, and would love if I have one. And as I've read, they just, like, want to put them in for the sake of having them. I don't see a mention that these will be useful.

What? Wings for the sake of havin' wings?!?

And those "scientist" or "surgeons", as they call themselves sort of want to play god.

And it ain't cool.

Yeah, having wings wouldn't be worth it unless you could actually use them to fly. You'd be made fun of at (namely, school) or, maybe be mistaken for the flock and captured by "the school"! no offense meant.

This is probably one of the most disgusting things that I've ever heard/read. I can understand the ear thing, I have a friend who was born without an ear and I want him to be able to hear properly. THAT kind of surgery/science is understandable.

But wings? A tail? Good God, even FUR? When will it end? When people want an extra pair of arms and legs to be like Shiva? We are made the way we are MEANT to be made! We don't need tails for balance, we already HAVE a sense of balance! We wouldn't even be able to USE the wings, our bodies aren't made for it! And we already have the gift of flight on planes and ships!

Sorry about the long rant, but when people play God, I get angry and annoyed.

That is out of control. People with tails? And/or wings? Walking around downtown doing their business like everyone else? I can't believe it. No, that's not entirely true. I can believe it. The unbelievable is pretty commonplace, nowadays.

My mind is blown, flock. With all you guys go through because of how you look, I can't imagine how you feel about people that are willing to pay thousands of dollars to change their 'normal' appearence when you'd probably give lots to be able to live their 'normal' lives. Well, unique is unique, I guess....but then again, how far is too far?

I like it when you guys raise import news topics for us, of course they have t do with you, but still they're good to hear. I would think you guys would be uterally repulsed by such an idea.

Aw heck, this is freaking terrible, not cool! Does anyone still have MORALS anymore? Science is going too far and has always gone too far. If you're enough of a Maximum Ride fan to be on Fang's blog, then you should not think this is cool! The whole series deals with how terrible Itex and the Whitecoats are for wanting to do terrible things to humans, to experiment with them. Hello? It's WRONG! This Doctor guy is obviously immoral and shouldn't be allowed to do any experimenting. If he really wanted to help people- if scientists really want to help people- they can stop spending billions of dollars on stupid, useless, immoral experiments and put a few bucks toward people who actually need help... you know, the POOR, the HUNGRY? People like that? Remember them? Yeah. It pains me to see something so stupid and wrong. If they really want to help the world, they can find another way to do it, because this isn't helping anyone, just plunging the world into further darkness. Give me a break. Please.

Okay, Admittedly the wings thing IS cool, but ridiculous. WHAT is the POINT of having wings if you can't fly?
Also, I am incredibly upset about the mouse. I've read stories, but I had no idea they were so sick and horrible looking...
It's inhumane.
Letting animals be subjected to such....disgustingness is horrible.

Guh. If I could use them to fly, then I would be there... but otherwise. Nope. Hey, at least you guys could go out in public! Just pretend you have rich parents or something? That'd be something good, anyway.

That's just wrong.

I mean, even if NORMAL humans get wings, they would most probably be caged and won't be let out. Like zoo animals. Like science experiments.

And it's not fair.
What's the purpose of looking like a freaking angel when people would treat you like freaks?

And it's not like the flock - it's not like the wings are going to be retractable are they?

That's just so so wrong.

Anonymous said...

Great, the white coats are fighting back. They can't do this! The science board or whatever cannot pass this! This guy needs to think about how this would affect people.

One, people will die if they test this on people.

Two, we'd need retractable wings or we couldn't even walk through doorways.

Three, we'd need humungos slits in our shirts for the wings.

Four, they'd be really heavy and a pain to have.

Five, they can't oporate on everyone. It would take centuries for every person on the planet to get a pair of wings and have a new super race.

Overall, this guy really needs to read your books. Seriously.
