Blog 11 Should we spend the money we do on water treatment?

Personally i think we might spend too much money on water treatment. i know we have to clean up water and everything but it is not worth spending billions on dollars on it. That money can go somewhere else like school, law enforcement and other kinds of research or treatmeant like a cure for cancer or the study of stem cell research. We are spending to much money on water treatment plus like there is already alot of water in this world! Instead of using it in water treatment we could use on  ways to stop polution. Are country is in a deficit and we cant use it on water treatment we should use it for something else that would help us more.

Look up Gregor Mendel and his pea plant experiments Why does P1 look all alike and F1 looks very different?

P1 looks all alike because all of the genes are dominant. unlike F1 whos genes are all mostly diffrent and they are considered receesive because of that they dont look as much as the p1 ones look alike. george mendel made his experiments with pea plants alot. He studied the plants so he can discovered the gentics and also he would study there inheritance of certain traits in the plants. Mendel did not just study one plant he studied over 29,000 plants. He would make his studies precise and take them very serious he wouldnt let no one intefere with them .

Blog 11 In the movie Gattaca parents were allowed to pick the traits of their babies, should we be able to do this? Why or why not?

we should not be able to choose the genes fo our children.  childern are made to have simliar traits there parents have like hair,eyes, etc. if they are alllowed to choose the traits some kids will look nothing at all like there parents.we are suppose to look like our parents like that people will recognize how we look like.if we look nothing at all like them people will have doubts about it. Also if people start choosing the genes they want for there kids they will get really picky. so the best thing to do is to not let people choose the genes for there children.
