Golgi's resume

I met my friend Golgi and he seemed to have forgot his resume while we were eating lunch !

Haha I will give it to him next time I see him.  

My new friend !

Today as we were eating lunch in Stanley Park we met a new friend ! he's name was Golgi Apparatus or Golgi Body for short. As we were talking to him we found out so many new things about our friend Golgi ! Like for example he works inside a cell ! And we found out how he was first discovered ! These are some of the questions I asked him ! 

Q: what do you do for a living ? 

A: well I work inside a cell , I do the sorting and the packaging of the proteins . It's really fun I get to get the proteins ready for transportation !

Q: were are you from ? 

A: I was discovered in Italy but I'm here in Vancouver only on vacation. 

Q: who discovered you ? 

A: Camilo Golgi , that's why I'm called the "Golgi" Apparatus 

Q: How old are you 

A: I was born in 1897 so I'm 116 years old 

 It was so nice to meet Golgi Apparatus! Here's a picture of him 

Gene town

Today as we were walking down Seymour St we walked into a debate where people where debating if you should be able to use Left over embryos for stem cell research on trying to find a cure for diabetes ? And it really got me thinking so here is my opinion on the subject.  

     I personally believe that there is nothing wrong with using left over embryos to try to find a cure for a disease that affects million of people world wide. If you are not using the embryos because the person in need of IVF or the type of artificial insemination they decide to use only one or whatever the case the left over embryos are just going to die anyways so why not use them to try to find a cure or an effective treatment to one of the worlds most popular disease. Although I could understand how some of the council   people were against it because they called it inhumane and said things like " don't use human beings as lab rats , for  your experiments " I cam understand that some people would not be okay with these. I am not one of those people though, but I came up with an idea that could benefit both sides. If you do happen to have left over embryos I think instead of taking them right away and putting them in the labs I think you should discuss it with the parents because some parents would not be okay with it and others would  be okay with giving them up for science. I think that is fair , so really you leave it up to the parents choice. And for the embryos that the parents are not willing to give up you could store them separately, away from the ones that you have the permission to experiment and do tests on. I also support this idea because you are using humans but they aren't like human beings that are adults or children  so you are eliminating the need to do experiments on a living human. You are eliminating the risks , the chance for error that could be deadly. You are able to do all your tests and experiments the way you want to because you would not have to worry about an actual human being with a family, job, a house and other reasons to live you. You aren't harming them. You are just experimenting with an unborn baby that has nothing. It doesn't have any reason to live unlike an adult that you would be using for the research. And finally you are giving the people who do have diabetes hope ! You are giving them the hope that by doing research on the unborn embryos  you might come up with a solution on how to treat diabetes. Therefore I completely support the use of unborn embryos for the use to try and cure or treat diabetes.

My Opinion on Desinger Babies

 Today I saw the movie Gattaca and it got me thinking of designer babies and here is my opinion on the topic. In my opinion designer babies have both pros and cons but  I think that you should leave it to chance because if not everyone will have too much pressure to be perfect and be the way other people expect them to be. Which I think is not at all right I think people should be the way they want to be. One of the  pros of designer babies  would be for personal reasons like to be able to chose small details about their child like eye and hair color but things like cause of death and things like life expectancy should be left to chance in my opinion because other wise you will live your life in fear thinking about when your going to die.And for the cons everyone's life would have such high standers that some people might not be able to live up to those high expectations and end up making themselves stressed out and feeling like a failure.so I think they are 50-50 because they are good for somethings but bad for others. But if I were given the option to have a natural baby or a designer I would most likely choose natural.

Gattaca Movie Review

  Today i went to the movie theater with my friends Sam and Johnny to watch the movie Gattaca and this is my opinion on it.  I really enjoyed the movie Gattaca. I thought a lot of things were very well done but I was also left with a few questions. For example I really liked how in the movie they showed how hard the main character had to work everyday just to be able  to do everyday things like go to work and be accepted in his society .He had to do things like everyday wake up scrub himself from head to toe, insert blood in a fake fingerprint, placing a sac filled with an other mans urine just to make sure he left behind no traits of himself, and commence the transformation from Vincent to Jerome Marr. but like I said I had a few questions , what I didn't understand was why near the end Jerome killed himself and why and also what happened with Vincent and Irene , did she know he was faking it , was she going to help him that part really confused me.but overall I really enjoyed the movie all thought it felt quite long in my opinion , it was a good movie with a deep message.
