FYS FRIDAY BLOGPOST #3
It was kind of interesting to think of other uses for tools in class on Wednesday. For instance, I would have never thought that a T.V remote could set off a fire alarm, a paper clip could mend some ones wound together, or a screw driver could be used as a murder weapon. This kind of goes to show that we are so spoiled with modern technology that we forget everything that we can do with simple tools. Think about it ,if society hadn't of drilled its expectations into our heads more of us would be finding creative uses for simpler objects over dishing out loads of cash for. Another thing were doing by purchasing items for each specific desire or use over using the same tool for multiple uses is creating more waste therefore polluting our environment.

Another interesting topic brought up in class last Friday was that of surrogate children. I have to admit I somewhat disagree with what a lot of people had to say about this being morally wrong or that it shouldn't be aloud. What about husbands and wives that wish to remain faithful to each other but one or both have a genetic disability that prevents them from reproducing, what about homosexual couples. Think of it in their eyes. They want a baby but they can't produce one themselves. They want their kid to look like them and have traits like them. This is an ideal method. It depends upon how you look upon it yes I feel that its wrong for two people able to produce a kid using this method to get the perfect kid, or everyone using it to transform the world into a perfect one. Then again what defines perfection. What is ideal to one person may be completely out of the picture to another. Yes there are some traits that we can all agree are better then others. But our differences are what make us unique and if everyone had a certain quality we would no longer be unique and that quality would no longer be valuable.
