Ok, I dont know if its because of the fact that I watched “I Am Legend” and “The Mist” back to back, but I will say this: recent advances in technology and science may or can lead to many great discoveries in life, but sometimes those discoveries can also backfire. A few months back I was watching either the DiscoveryChannel or the ScienceChannel, and I happened to be watching a segment of these scientists who were (and possibly still are) trying to figure out how to reverse the genetics of a chicken embryo. Sounds cool, right? Not the way I see it. I think its a BIG mistake. They did however figure out how to reverse a baby chicken embryo’s primitive genetics, revealing that that may have had a tail back in their prehistoric days (well, of coarse they may be related to Tyranasorous Rex’s for those of you who are Jurassic Park movie fans). It may not happen in the next few years down the line, but believe me, something is going to end up happening. Sure, it sounds crazy now, but it really gets me thinking, “What will happen if all this goes too far? What if we wind up creating something that we CANNOT fix?” Yeh, sure, I’m only a 14 year old, but that doesnt mean I’m stupid and dont know whats going on. Yeh sure, I may be watching too many movies with zombies and other science-fiction movies, but it really can happen. We getting to become how some would “too big for our britches” when it comes to technology. Some things that have changed over time should not be changed back to its original form when it comes to certain scientific studies. In other words, some things in life that are being messed around with, should never be messed around with. I mean,one day, one fateful day, it could all blow up in the face of humanity. In my opinion, life could wind up changing for the worst, and its already happening right now. With gas prices, food prices, the whole thing. And yes, it would be great if they found some kind of cure for diabetes, cancer, and other various diseases, but then again, it may not be so great. Im not saying that Im against it, but Im just asking, “What If?” What IF they find a cure for something and start trying to cure people right away BEFORE they study the side affects and other various information that is critical? What IF they end up figuring out how to reverse the genetics of some animal embryo and it winds up becoming something completely out of control? That is the very big problem: yeh sure we got stuff like computers, mp3’s, tv sets, cell phones, and other various successes in technology, but what IF something goes wrong? Like something out of Jurassic Park 1, 2, and 3? Or “The Mist” and “I Am Legend”? I know those are all just movies, you dont need to point that out to me. I know they are just movies, but all Im saying is that alot of things in life really should be left alone and stay that way. What do you think?
