Cloning

I believe that while cloning is a fun idea in movies, in real life it is disturbing, at least to me. The idea that they can create an exact replica of a dog or sheep is pushing science a little to far. It seems like they are trying to make science fiction reality and next time instead of cloning, you'll probably hear how they are trying to make a time machine. Just because cloning is an option doesn't mean it should be done. It doesn't feel right to me to have a pet cloned just because you love it so much. It freaks me out that they are actually cloning things in real life. It seems like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. I feel like scientist are gong to far to with the cloning. Not everything in life needs to be explored, and cloning falls into that category for me. Humanity has to have limitations and it seems like scientist don't get that if they are willing to go as far as cloning. If people are letting scientist clone living, breathing things, what's going to stop them from doing other things that can be potentially more dangerous and hazardous to our future.

Holiday!

My holiday would be Help People Day. It would be during the first weekend of March. If it was on a weekday school's would get out and people would get off of work to raise money for nonprofit charities. If it was over the weekend students would spend their day helping out the needy and having fundraisers everyday, in which the money goes to nonprofit charities. The fundraisers would start on Friday after school and last until Sunday.
