elizardw529: If the final project is just us writing a paper that starts with a claim that we then support one such topic could be stem cell research and ones belief that it should be supported by the national government
aduda7987: one topic that i talked about in high school was genetic cloning, I don't feel that genetic cloning should be allowed because to me everyone is supposed to be different and unique and if you clone someone then that person isn't unique anymore
elizardw529: That is like something I read in my psychology book
elizardw529: Where it talks about what if parents could pick what traits they wanted their child to have
elizardw529: But then it would be like everyone is just trying to create the perfect baby
aduda7987: yeah, i've read about that too
elizardw529: Which kind of makes me think of Hitler
aduda7987: yeah, and we all see how well that turned out
aduda7987: that was meant sarcasticlly
elizardw529: Haha, I got that
aduda7987: i don't think that parents should be able to pick their kids traits, they should just be happy that they are lucky enough to have kids
aduda7987: and love the kids that are given to them, no matter what their traits
elizardw529: Yeah, the only case that I could see what they are talking about is if the child was going to be born with a major problem
elizardw529: Like something that wouldn't allow them to live for very long
elizardw529: But in that case you start to get into religion
aduda7987: yeah, but how can you tell that until the child is born
elizardw529: and messing with Gods plan
elizardw529: I think that I read there are ways they do it
elizardw529: However, I am not a doctor
elizardw529: So I have no idea
aduda7987: me neither
aduda7987: another topic is one that was posted as a link for today's assignment about how taxpayers pay 100 million dollars a year for this website so members of congress can get up to speed on on issues quickly
aduda7987: i don't see why congress can't just get their information like everyone else and if not then we should be able to access the same website since we are paying for it
elizardw529: Yeah, I agree we should be able to know what is going on with our money
