I've got five days left until the exam barrage hits me.
I don't think I can fully explain just how terrified I am - if i fail these, it would be a year of wasted study. I should really be revising now...
So I've just finished a chapter on the ethics of genetic engineering. I'm not entirely sure where i stand on the matter myself. The idea of embryo research makes me feel uncomfortable (can the embryo feel pain?) despite the fact that left over embryos from IVF treatments would be discarded anyway...
Am I opposed to IVF treatment for this reason? I don't really have enough knowledge on IVF to really make a decision.
Do people have a right to children? Or are children gifts?
I think a life has intrinsic value - stem cell research etc is a violation of that value. Can the possible lives it could save justify that? :S
I think I might get back to it. The next chapter is on WAR. :/
Under what circumstances can war be justified?

Welcome!
Govert and Hans, sitting in a tree...
war can't be justified. you are intentionally killing and hurting people, how is that right?
