/ The ones they wouldn't publish!
(This was a letter referring to the successful experimentation on human embryos by Sydney researchers. GU)
Did I really expect them to publish this one? Possibly not, but the issue is always worth writing about, and if we can get a mention of hell into the letters pages, it could spark a significant and usually censored discussion:
Dear editor,
Probably a year ago I still enjoyed trying to write witty, sarcastic letters to the editor about human embryo research.
Now it's happening here in Sydney, and I just feel desperately sad. What an idiot I feel for even attempting to make a joke about it. God damn those researchers to hell.
