 PA> To create a human/alien hybrid with the best features of both?
    Nice thought, but then our genetics  etc, would  have to  be quite 
similar.  And what is our feature that would enhance.  We  are fairly 
frail.  Short life span.  Prone to all kinds of diseases, disorders.
But I suppose there may be some redeeming feature in man.... :)
I'm sure I will hear all the positive points on  how we  could benefit 
some alien race.....
 PA> Because that bit was made up to make the story sell better?
    
    Well sure, sales people sell.  And they do not care what they  are 
selling....
 PA> Because the whole experience was a delusion based on repressed
 PA> anxieties? 
    Possibly.  I will not argue against that.  Both are unknowns.  Are 
people escaping reality. Depends on the person. Again this is one hell 
of a delusion.  A person would  have seriously  crossed some  lines to 
get there....

    Well TV is for entertainment.  As I have  said above  which is  in 
pretty  much  agreement,  our  biologies etc,  would have  to be  very 
similar.  Perhaps genetic manipulation would no doubt work, if i wish 
to venture into possibilities and sci-fi, but then anyone that advanced 
could manipulate their own genetics and  solve their  own problems  if 
the lack in certain areas.  We are headed for that now.....
 PA> And then there's the question: the "typical" alien has no obvious
 PA> genetalia, so what does he/she do it *with*?
    .  Well that is a good question.  Again this is an extreme.
I suppose it could be a natural progression in the  abduction stories.  
Another enhancement.  Truth or fiction.  In all the stories, I  am not 
sure if anyone ever mentioned that there was genetalia.  I  have heard 
of a few claims of sex, but I cannot remember the details  offhand.  I 
do believe they were  with human  type creatures,with  all the  parts.  
Not the nefarious greys .  Is this possible. Well,I am skeptical 
about it.  Again until we reach  some form  of truth  either way,as  I 
mentioned in the other  message, who  can say.
    I find  the stories  very interesting,I  find them  disturbing.  I 
remain  unbiased  either  way.   Are they  dreams, perhaps.   Are they 
psychosis perhaps.  Unless we  could sit  in a  room with  the persons 
involved first hand, we are left with just the stories  and lore.   If 
these incidents do occur,I would say they would be extremely rare. But 
I am trying to remain in the realm of the physical here.  Our reality.
Solids,space time etc... A ship etc.. There are of course theories of
inter dimensions etc.. Creatures just showing up through walls etc..
I am sure you have heard some of them.  Well,they sound like dreams,
if they are not,then I cannot even come close to  guessing at  what we 
are dealing with.  It would be something we have no comprehension of.
And of course we would be totally vulnerable.........
