Class

Well, I was studying bacteria and viruses the other day and decide it was probably smart to post a picture of how viruses are made, because bacteria kind of do the same thing as cells. It will be up momentarily....

Burgers....

Now they have saminila in burgers! What next! I hope everyone has been keeping track of the news, because they had a saminila outbreak in burgers, and a huge factory in the Northeast that had been around for about 75 years was shut down because of it's "less than satisfactory" grade of meat. Everyone please keep your eyes and ears open, and next time you want to grill out burgers, make sure that they are fresh and saminila-free!

Contest

So, since this was a blog made for competition, I am taking a poll to destroy it or not. If you visit, please leave a vote! Ends in a few weeks...

To post, or not to post...

Currently I am reading a book called The Eleventh Plague. It is classified as a novel of medical terror. Should I post a chapter update, or not? Please express your comments by commenting, or by answering the poll.

NO ONE should be genetic testing/engineering

This side says that genetic testing/engineering is COMPLETELY WRONG. I have to say that I agree with this side, so I might be a little biased, but I am trying to cover the basics for both sides. This side says that grown-adult testing is wrong, unless the adult consents to it, and that embryonic testing is wrong altogether. They say this because most of them believe that a person is a person, no matter how small, from the moment of conception, until they die. This is what this side believes.

It's O.K. as long as no one gets hurt...

Now I will talk about the side that says it is O.K. as long as humans don't get hurt. Let's discuss this. There are two different successful ways of genetic testing/engineering. The first is grown-human testing, and the other is embryonic testing. Grown-human testing is when a grown, mature human can donate cells to be used for genetic testing. Embryonic testing is when they take the cells from a conceived baby, and put them into a petri dish to experiment with. Those people who say it's O.K., usually support conception testing, because they believe that the embryo isn't a human yet, so no one gets hurt.

Now that I have you scared...

Now that I got you all scared about food, lets talk genetic testing. Hopefully, if you are paying the least bit of attention to the news, you still know about the genetic testing going on around the world. It is a huge deal because it has two different views. The first view says that genetic testing is alright, as long as nobody gets hurt. The second view says that NO ONE should be playing with genetics because it affects all of us and that people are getting hurt. Look for a new post about each view in depth...
