Hello Virtual World of Stalkers, Misfits, Friends, Family, and whoever may be reading this,
Here I go blogging again. I say it’s been a good 4-5 years since I made a posting on my xanga account at least. I got too excited today and I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to make a blog, when I should be studying for my bio test tomorrow at 8am in the morning. But it’s okay, it’s an open book test, but still I know.
Well, I will customize this more tomorrow after I am done with class for the week. It looks good so far. Anyways, this summer I’m taking two biology courses at my local community college to fulfill my general education requirements for college: Introduction to Life Sciences and Human Anatomy.
The other day in my introduction class, we were talking about cloning and about Dolly, the famous cloned sheep. My teacher asked us of what we thought about clone, whether it’s a bad or good idea. Personally, I think cloning is bad. Maybe it’s such an absurb idea now that I’m not use to it at all. I’m against it because humans clone to benefit ourselves, it’s like asking for eternal life. I would wonder why would one want eternal life? Because they’re afraid of death? Because they don’t want whatever they have now to end?
To me, life is about living it and then okay, your turn is over now so die. I know I sound cold, and I know I haven’t experienced death of a love one, so I guess maybe one day when I do, my ideals may change. But for now, if a loved one died, I would just be happy to know that they live a nice life and that they’re appreciated for just being themselves. I mean that’s the real fear I guess most people have, to be forgotten.
So cloning bad because you extend your life like some sort of God and wouldn’t you want some rest by now? Oh yea, I should mention, my outlook on life is that you can’t experience happiness without experiencing sadness, or else what do you have to compare to it? You won’t know what happiness or love or whichever feeling without feeling the pains and agony of it to know or to come to appreciate the good feeling when it comes. I guess you can say I’m a very grateful person and I do try to cherish every moment that God has given to me.
It’s 10:30PM now. Time to study for Bio again. Until next time :] Maybe tomorrow
Toodles!
clones would be genetically identical to their “mother”, but they wouldn’t be the same as their “mother.” they would be completely different individuals who happen to have the same genes as someone else. it’s like identical twins. identical twins are completely different people who happen to share identical genes.
so yea, i don’t think we’re at that stage yet where clones=eternal life on earth.
i definitely am a little afraid of being forgotten. i think that’s the vanity part of me speaking (=
