I also can't think of why most cetaceans would need to access inland facilities, since they don't have much in the way of material needs and if they need information or other such information they can make use of a CICADA drone. The way I handle it is that there are cetacean-accessable services along the coasts of most major nations on Earth and at most of the settlements on Poseidon, but this is purely conjecture on my part. - Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Disturbnce To: blue_planet@MPGN.COM Date: Monday, May 25, 1998 10:57 AM Subject: [BLUE PLANET] - Cetaceans and Equal Access >Question: > >Do Earth's equal access laws, that require ramps and Braille labels and such >in public buildings, also cover canals and pools etc. for dolphins and orcas? >Epecially on oceanside facilities, cetacean access could become an issue. > >Andrew >*************************************************************************** >To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@mpgn.com with the line >'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message. > *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@mpgn.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

Joni, At least the way I understand it, the changes made to the cetaceans were genetic, so they're born sentient. I imagine the first 'batch' was carefully raised and watched by the researchers who carried out the procedure. The BP book mentions that the first generation of uplifted cetaceans still had memories of their lives in the sea, so that sounds to me like they were adults. However, I would think that they uplifted both adults and calves, but I could be wrong. - Kevin Hi, I might be missing something, but is the uplifting process done to mature cetaceans or at earlier stage of development like to fetuses? If it is done to adults how does that affect their psyche? And if it is done earlier who raises them? I mean they still need someone to look after them when they are youg. At current time those would of course be adult uplifted cetaceans but what about for those who were the very first ones?

A planet with as much water surface area would have MASSIVE tides would it not? What would the effect of the two moons be, and what would the difference be between low and high tide? Wouldn't you have a bulge of water running the circumference of the planet due to the pull of the moon's gravity? ### Jason Kucherawy ### ### Come climb my Treehouse at: ### http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/8557/index.html ### ### "Nature abhors a hero." ### -Solomon Short (from the novel"A Matter For Men" by David Gerold) *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@mpgn.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.
