I've spent the morning doing homework for my "Breakthroughs in Science" class. This class is pretty reading-intensive, which I expected. So far the subject matter is fairly interesting, and I anticipate the second half of the class will be more challenging, as we explore the moral and ethical dilemmas inherent in cutting edge research. We're exploring a wide variety of topics, but these are the ones that interest me, mostly because I don't know much about them. Other topics, like intelligent design versus evolution, don't interest me at all because I already have a well-formed (and well informed) opinion.
- Animal cloning
- Human cloning
- Genetic engineering/screening
- Human/animal testing
- Kyoto Protocol
- Weather modification
- GMO Foods/Agriculture
- Biometrics in border control
I love college and I hate having a runny nose. And that's your compelling commentary for the day.
