hi, the thoughts or opinions expressed in this guest entry are not necessarily thoughts or opinions that pinder himself holds as his own. although i think it's safe to say that YOU have to agree with me and conform your opinions to mine. you really have no choice in the matter. enjoy!

today i have been thinking a lot about the things that we take for granted and the things that some of us are actively against.

were it not for animal testing and genetic engineering someone i care about deeply would be dead. they wouldn't have even been given the chance of having a long and happy life. they have diabetes and depend on insulin to keep them healthy and on scientist's reasearch (which sometimes includes animal testing) to keep their quality of life comfortable (possible!).

how do you reconcile the fact that genetic enginerring and animal testing help people live every day as well as have unpredictable results on the environment and could be considered inhumane, respectively?

there is such a fine line between what is right and wrong and why it's right or wrong. (it's right or it's wrong and there's no way to make either one the other.... ?)

it's weird to think that i may indirecty support both, and in a way am infinitely grateful that these things happen and we're capable of manipulating nature the way we are... when in fact i wish that we didn't do that that cause unpredictable results in the environment and are harmful to animals.

ohm.

education, a step in the right direction - that much closer to the realization of ignorance
