Another blog title with lyrics from a song this time "Family Tree by Matthew West". I wanted to use this title as I've been thinking a lot about the current state of the world and what could be possible.
Yesterday I went to see Never Let Me Go at the cinema, basically its about these genetic clones whose whole purpose is to donate organs to "Original humans", of course theres an element of love twisted in but I don't want to say too much because you really should see it for yourself. It really made me think, what with science developing so rapidly that a future like that could really be possible. I'm all for scientific medical advancements, in fact I support them and want to have a career in science, but there's only so far I think we should allow ourselves to take things, using genetic cloning processes to create organs to save lives I think is a brilliant thing, but if people overstepped the mark and actually began to make full clones just to be organ donors then that to me would inhumane.
On another note in Libya, innocents are being slaughtered just for protesting and yet there seems to be a lack of knowledge about what is actually going on. I'm not too informed so I won't pretend to know everything that is going in that country, but it still shocks me the fact that MEDC countries aren't getting involved or even showing that much interest in the situation...is there an ulterior motive at work, a certain fuel perhaps?
I know world peace is a concept which is near impossible to achieve, but why can't we understand that whatever we are promised or seems simply amazing for one group of people will have consequences on others. Maybe we should all remember that lyric "yesterday does not define you.", because whatever you promised yesterday can always be changed.
Another thought for the day!
