I completely understand the difficulties relating to the genetic debate. Due to personal experience or even seeing it in the medical field, I can see where it could benefit us. Then again, people could begin to get out of line with starting to personalize their children like they are a video game. I find beauty in natural life. I did hear about them recently being able to change eye color and gender. I will add a website below for you to read. It is really interesting to think about how technology has changed so rapidly over such a short time period.
Crystal,
I really enjoyed you putting your personal experience into this topic. I can completely understand when you said, ” I can’t envision my life without hemophilia, and I often wonder who my children would be without it.” I have a disorder that also affects me, but I also can’t imagine my life without it. It has affected so much of my life that I feel as if it has shaped who I am today. I also think having a normal stomach could definitely benefit my everyday life. It is a very touchy ethical dilemma because of the people who could take advantage of this, or even the complications it could potentially cause.I found your post extremely interesting because I grew up the exact opposite. My mom never introduced religion to me or my brother. My grandmother completely disagreed and wished she had introduced Christianity to us. I do wish I were at least educated on different religions. Still to this day, I do not understand religion and don’t follow any. I also agree with the statement, “I think it can be positive or negative outcomes too.” I have seen religious cults that are very strange or even religious psychosis. It can be very scary and uncomfortable to talk about. Thank you for sharing your story and how you grew up Catholic.
This post gave me full-body goosebumps. I understand when you said, “At a young age, I was taught values, and what it means to put someone else’s needs before your own.” When I was young, I remember volunteering at the soup kitchen with my mom. At the time, we also could have used some help. My mom was working all the time, so I was raised by both of my grandparents. One Christmas, my mom was having a hard time affording gifts. The local Boys and Girls club provided us with an entire Christmas, food and all. It was enough for both my grandparents, me, my mom, and my brother. Overall, I really enjoyed your story. Thank you for sharing it with us!
I completely remember the line leader situation and how excited everyone would get to be this big “leader”. Proving to others you are responsible and capable of being in charge. About physical violence, I agree with seeing more males than females being more aggressive. They do say testosterone plays a huge role, but another reason is I think the typical male complex, where young boys are taught to be strong, emotionless, and confident. When they are taught this way, they find the aggressive, angry emotions. I have suffered from major depression when I should have been just a normal kid. So I can understand that feeling. You have come a long way, and I am so proud of you!
I enjoyed reading your answers and how our perspectives were different. In the first answer, I like how you said the word “control” because I never really thought of it that way. It makes complete sense, trying to keep everyone in control of themselves so they can all work together. I agree with the second answer, where you stated the reason is power and control. I completely agree and said the same thing in my answer. I used dominance instead of the word control. In the last paragraph, I would add Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and how it focuses on one step at a time. I can completely relate to you about struggles with self-confidence and the importance of getting help, and how it can benefit someone. Overall, great work!
