I see your side of this, but also, if you could eliminate disease and gene mutations, wouldn’t that be kind of amazing? I mean imagine coming from a line of family where you have something genetically wrong with you that debilitates your life, and then with this technology you can get rid of it? Think of how many people could be helped. I see where you are coming from though, starting a family in a lab doesn’t sound so special. I loved the surprises that came with being pregnant with my daughter. Awesome point!
Although I’m super on your side with this topic, I also believe that gene technology can pave new ways for people. Think of people who can’t carry children, but want them!? Someday there could be artificial wombs to help women obtain their dreams of being a mother. Another way I think gene technology is amazing is that now you know the sex of the baby and have exactly what you before you even get pregnant. Think of a couple who wanted a girl and get 8 boys trying (my parents friend’s parents were those people) or a couple who want a boy and get 8 girls trying (a girl I worked with was one of 8 girls from parents trying for a boy). The only thing I fear is that the birth rate might actually go down from this. Either way, gene modification and technology is incredible and is only getting more mind blowing!
I think you hit the nail on the head with your comments Storm. Kids usually tend to follow the common trend and if everyone is lining up, they will do the same. I also think that they need that kind of structure to keep them grounded. And yes, females definitely can be aggressive as well, just as males. But i do think there is a bit of a difference. I loved hearing about you and your reasoning for the psychological perspective that you chose. You have definitely blossomed and would be a great counselor or psychiatrist.
One of the things I love about your comments are that you always use yourself as an example or you use a memory to add to your comments. This is so awesome to me. I love what you said about where a child was in a line and how it didn’t mean much. It is so true. And I love how you used the term “you’re getting out of line,” because I never thought about it like that.
I also agree with you when you said that not every one is aggressive. I truly believe that aggression is a choice. You can make the choice to remain calm and cool and collected and not act out aggressively. Awesome points Deb!
Deb,
You always feel so close to my heart when you speak about yourself. I too was a sheltered child till I was 18 and I had parents that, to this day, are still married. I always considered myself the “minority” because despite looking white, I was Mexican. I got made fun of bad and it always was hard to deal with, but I remained strong. You have grown into a very amazing woman and I love hearing about how your grew up and the changes you had to go through to become the woman that you are. You are a testimony to being grateful and appreciating life and I look so forward to seeing what an amazing nurse you become.Katie,
this passage resonates with me because, even though I was not a middle child, I always felt like it because my brother after me was always the “golden child.” It also was close to my heart because, despite being a one income family, my mom always made sure we were “spoiled.” I love that you guys went to catholic school, despite not being religious. My brother was also a track star. I love learning about you and what kind of family you came from. You’re an awesome person and I appreciate your comment. =)
