Week 10

-Post your thoughts on gene therapy-
The mapping of genes is an extremely touchy topic. I
feel that if we use it to discover things and use it
for changing things that aren't already in existence
in our world as we know it, then this is what the
higher power or what ever you believe created us has
enabled us to do with our intelligence. Creating new
things that could fight cancer or eliminate things
such as autism I don't think we can deny as long as we
aren't creating a new super human race no matter what
the reason.


-Chemistry of Life review-
Link #6 Bio chemistry is the study of molecules
(e.g. proteins) in the absence of the rest of the
organism.
Next Link to- What is molecular Biology?"
This article really made me think about what we
are made up of and challenged me to ponder the
existence of a higher power. The more knowledge I gain
at times is harder to have faith. I mean really, if we
are made up of all this genetic material and it merely
takes some water, electricity, and the proper
combination of genetic materials and poof we have
something then why couldn't that really have been how
we came to existence with of course a process of
evolution. This article really provoked me to think
deeper than I generally do.


-Check out and post a review of one of the ANIMATIONS
from the link below-
I felt like this site could be very beneficial to
those who might not gain as much from reading
material. We have become such visual oriented society
with the age of the television into the internet that
having animations for such things as simply boiling
water can create a better understanding for those who
are visual learners.
