Counter argument To Stem Cell Research

Stem Cell Research is viewed as many as  a medical breakthrough, yet it is also viewed by many others as wrong. One counter argument which is brought up by many is that stem cell research is "playing against god". They believe stem cell research "plays god" because of the embryos stem cell research needs to become successful. These embryos are believed by many who are against stem cell research, for the sole purpose of reproduction. They don't believe these embryos should be used for medical purposes, or one day even cloning. Many opposers to stem cell research believe there are many different ways to accomplish stem cell research goals. Realistically if one of the opposers family members were to unfortunately suffer from alzheimer's, or even parkinson's they would want a cure. Stem cells could be the only cure, surely people who are against stem cells would switch and become a fan immediately. Most people would do anything for a loved one even if it goes against what they believe. If stem cells could be the only cure for someone who goes against it, they will surely switch immediately, and be all for it.

Blog #2: Family Discourse

A. A strong series of memories I have date back to when I was in high school. As a freshman in high school I was so excited to be able to be more independent. I didn't believe that high school would be challenging at all due to my success in middle school. Well my first biology test I failed it, badly. The first person that I talked to was my dad. My dad was very supportive of me no matter what the grades were. Yet one thing he told me that has stuck with me throughout my life is, " never settle shoot for more". My dad is a perfectionist and he was able to help show me what it takes to succeed. I am forever grateful to him, and because of him I was able to get into my dream University.

B.                                                
This is a picture of me playing high school football, and by analyzing my face you can tell that I am very focused.   Also by looking at the photo you can tell I am about to make a cut or some type of football move. The mood in the photo is intense and serious. Yet the feelings that this photo evokes to me is I miss the sport I loved to play. This photo brings back great memories having fun playing the sport I love but also frustration with the injuries I obtained while I played. I do anything though to get one more chance to play again. It goes by so quickly, and you don't even realize it.
