Practicing Interview Skills.

To get nice skills of interviewing, I interviewed ken that "If you could genetically engineer your child, would you do so?" on 14th, December, 2007 in CM class.

He answered yes. He said that by engineering his child, unfortunate cases, such as having congentional diseases, or lacking some parts of his body can be avoided.

I also asked if he belived in any religions, and he said no. I assumed that not believing in any religions might affects little bit on his answer.

After I interviewed him, I was interviewed , and asked the same question by Mio, and I answered No.

I just feel it is unethical. Moreover, if I engineer my child, and change every single parts that I don't sutisfy, she/he will be an perfect child! I don't think it's fun to bring up the perfect child. Everyone has defects, and the role of parents is that to make their children overcome defects.

I thinkI am interested in "cloning".

As you know, cloning is such a tough issue in today's world. There are various ideas about cloning.

I herad that some scientists are trying to clone "headless human" in ARW class. Organs of headless human can be donated to patiants. In my ARW class, most people disagree with this idea because it wierdo, or the idea of clonig invades human rights. However, image you lose some parts of your organ by accident, and there is no donor. Then you hear news about headless human. You would probably agree with it.

So, I guess cloning is not a simple "agree or disagrre" problem.

Thank you.
