There is a difference between true joy and passing pleasure. The world today encourages as to seek fleeting moments of pleasure and waste our time chasing frivolous things that money can get us, deceiving us into thinking we can buy happiness. We soon realize however, that money cannot buy you everything least of all happiness. Tis the season to be jolly, indeed.

(sigh) While i do realise that it is important to study genes , i do not approve of some of the methods used today and neither should you. It is very questionable and disheartening to me when i hear about babies, yes they ate little human beings no matter the debate about when life starts, bieng used in this way!  Sometimes i even think that abortion has become an industry and this research is partly responsible. We are not God and we never will be. Some things are best left well alone and gene manipulation is one of them. It is always a good thing when someone tries to help people but your methods must be right and your conscience clear. How will you live with the knowledge that you destroyed something in order to build something else? Those are innocents and i would rather die than get h...
