Final Evaluation

Over two months ago, we took a quiz that showed us what our ‘preferred’ learning style is based on our answers. I discovered that my learning style was ‘Reading.’ From then on, I started finding study habits that are considered most compatible with people whose learning style is Reading. Helpful study habits include reading the study materials over and over again (repetition helps the brain remembers easier), simply reading your text book (works great if you actually pay attention to what you read), and making note cards that you can read from (necessary if you’re quite forgetful).  I found that I have been using those study habits all along, especially this school year. Through more research, I learned more about the way I work and what my interests are. Now that I know what works and what doesn’t work for me, I have a head start for next school year. Studying should be easier for me next year, considering all the challenging classes that next year will offer. I will try working on developing and expanding the other three learning styles: Visual, Aural, and Kinestheic because I believe that will come in handy in the future.

And The Final Verdict is…

we find the defendant: human cloning guilty as charged on accounts of human rights violation,  danger to society, and so forth.

Based on the cons that I have researched during the past six to seven weeks, I’ve decided to be against human cloning. Human cloning will only end up hurting us more than help us. It will take away our uniqueness and identity, our limited resources, and perhaps even our future. In my previous post, I found out that human cloning would lead to a population boom which will end up taking away our resources that could lead to the destruction of the human race. We would not have enough supplies like food, water, etc. to keep the world from starvation or deaths. However, back to the main point, human cloning creates duplicates of human which ends up taking away the uniqueness of our DNA. So since there would be another person living with our DNA, it will be impossible to figure out who actually committed the crime: the human or the clone? Furthermore, clones can become smarter and stronger, creating a high chance that they may take over the world and vanquish the human race.  So why should we give science a chance to hurt us? Why should we give other humans (scientists) the power to create another dangerous race?

Although, scientists have argued that these clones may be able to save the lives of human beings who are in need of organs. However, killing a clone for the benefits of a human is just as wrong as human cloning. I suggest that scientitsts should find a way to produce cloned organs that are a perfect match to the human being instead of producing a clone.
