21 not so much fun

As I sit here writing this, it is only 17 days until my 21st birthday. I just got an e-mail from a high school friend of mine. He turned 21 on the 15th of this month.

Two Korean scientists announced Thursday they had successfully cloned a human embryo. The embryos matured into blastocysts, from which stem cells could be extracted. In layman's terms, the potential for cloning is now reality, and the technology could be used for medical purposes. Despite cries for definitive legislation, it would be premature for the government to step in during the infancy of such remarkable technological strides.

'Low' art has redeeming qualities

Whether you want to admit to it or not, you have guilty entertainment pleasures. You watch movies that you mock other people for watching and you hum lame top-20 songs you hear on the radio.
