Cloning - A Moral Dilemma

1) Do you think there are any positive uses for cloning either animals or humans or both?
- We learned about cloning in biology, about how they cloned animals. I do think that cloning animals can be a good thing but only if everything inside the animal is actually OK to use. Like if you clone a pig and use the heart for a human that is in need and can't find a human heart I see that it would be OK only if the heart is OK to use and everything about the heart is right. I think cloning animals are OK only if it is helping man kind but cloning humans well that is a different story, it is kind of weird to clone a human. what positive thing can you get out of cloning a human, I guess you can use there organs but wouldn't you feel terrible killing a human just for the organs even if it is a clone it is still a human. I don't know, I think animals there is a positive thing you can do for cloning but humans I don't think there is a positive behind cloning.

2) What are some of the possible negative ramifications of cloning?
- If you clone something or someone there are things like if they will act the same, like same personality. You could clone something bad, or mess up on doing something during the process. there are a lot of things that could be negative about cloning. I don't think that cloning the cells or molecules could be good for them though, kind of sounds bad. And why would you want to clone really, what is the reason behind doing it? When we learned about cloning in biology they said that they are thinking of using or are using the cloned meat so you can eat it. but what if that meat isn't good, what if something like the I Am Legend thing happens and it would be all there fault, that would suck. and doing this cloning they had to make sure the things they were using was right so they are using animals to do so. the animals they are using to get the chemicals right are dieing, they are killing animals that don't deserve it. they are like murderers.

Frankenstein Have You Ever....

Have you ever.....

1) Judged someone on appearance only?
- When i first meet someone i do judge on appearance, but i think that every does in some way or another. i do think it is sad that i do judge on that first but yet again who really doesn't? like for example when i was with my cousin i met her best friend and i did judge her on out side at first, thought she looked nice thought i would give her a chance, but than when gave her a chance she seemed rude.....but after while i stared to like her a little more. Also when i walk by someone on the street i judge them right then and there, weather or not they give my gut a good feeling or a bad one. i don't know why i judge on first appearance and my gut feeling maybe it is because i was taught that way or maybe it is just want the human race does, i don't know.

2) Been so worried about someone or something that it affected you physically?
- I would say that i have worried about someone or something that it has affected me but i don't know about it being physically but more mentally or emotionally. everyone I care about i worry about, even if it is about the simple things. like when my mom was going through this weird stage and had to go tot he hospital and go through alot of tests to figure out what was wrong with her. or when i hear that my friends family is going through a hard time. or finding out that my boyfriend's back was messed up and two plates where pintching a nerve and hurting him really bad. or when my mom's friend is having trouble with her husband. or finding out that a friends parents are having a hard time being together. finding out bad things about my firneds makes me worry big time. i am the kind of person that worries about everything and everyone. i don't know why i worry so much but i do, i guess someone has to right.

Inauguration of Barack Obama


1) Do you think that having an African American president will have any impact on our country?
- I think that having Obama as a president will effect the country very much, mainly because his full focus is to change the country in very many different ways. But i wanted Obama to win so i think that the changes he will make will be good changes. But i also think that is will be hard for us to get to the good part of the change and doing those changes will impact us very much in very many different ways. But i also think that just because he is African American people don't like him, it is very sad that we judge him on his color on how good he will do as a president. i think that if he was white people would like him all of a sudden which is very sad. i think that the things that will happen to this country when he is inaugurated will be good for us it will just take some time for people to get use to. and who knows he might not do everything he promised he would do.
2) Do you think that having an African American president will have any impact on you personally?
- I think everyone will be effect by this personally. but it matters on who you are and what you think about his changes that will affect you good or bad. but i think that everyone should give everything a chance maybe it will be good for them personally. Seriously no matter what he does or doesn't do it will affect everyone and everything personally. and i think that is McCain was president it will affect everyone and everything personally to. It doesn't matter who it is or what color they are it is the fact that we are having a new president, just that part (having a new president) will affect EVERYONE personally in the present and in the future.
3) On your children?
- It matters on what he does for it to affect my children. But pretty much no matter what he does will affect them in some way or another, just matters what he does. Like i said before no matter what he does will affect everyone and everything no matter if he is African American or not, the fact that there is a new president will affect everyone in the present and in the future, just a known fact.
