Today I only had one class. And from it, I gleaned this:
If you had the opportunity to be genetically tested and find out if you have genetic diseases lurking in your body, awaiting the opportunity to manifest themselves...would you get tested? And if you did find that you have diseases, would you tell others? Would you not marry? Would you not have children? What would you do?
And the answer, eloquently stated by guys in my roommate, Victoria's group:
"Dude, I'd go to parties. And jump up on stage. And drink a lot."
Yes, my friends. The meaning of life summed up in a nutshell. Parties, drinking and being wild.
Argh! Seriously, are you incapable of thinking on a deeper level? Like, should I have pity on your inadequate brain capacity, or should I scoff at your ridiculous juvenile behavior? I'm torn here.
Anyway, as you can tell (I'm sure), the class will be rather interesting. I'm very glad that we have an ethics professor (and a good one, at that) to join in on the biological discussion, because sometimes science confuses me when it comes to issues as intense as genetics and the technicalities that go along with all of that. It's major stuff! I am really looking forward to the class.
I MUST go to bed. I was terribly restless this morning during my holy hour because of lack of sleep.
Caritas et veritas.
