Blog #11 Choosing Traits

i dont think that parents should be choosing the traits that there kids should have... because to me its just wrong in so many ways.. this could be a great conflict.... especially between religions..... god made us a certain way... and its not our decision to determine the traits that people should have.. maybe the traits that they choose could ruin that persons life .. even though they are trying to give them the best for there kids... there kids could suffer form the choices that their parents make.... like in the movie they suffered because.... one of them couldnt have the job that they wanted because of the certain genes they had. that is unfair.. and in some way it could happen.. but it shouldnt be allowed because of the conflict....

Blog #10 Fermentation

Fermentation can be used to make some types of foods... for example we used fermentation to make kim chi.... we got cabbage... pieces of chilli peppers.. and after that we keep smashing it all together and it started to produce some kind of fluid... so after a week or two of the kim chi fermentating... it was finished.   Fermentaition is very important for making types of foods .. it helps with keeping the food fresh for a very long time.... like it could still be good after a couple of days or weeks.... which is a good thing.. because food would last a longer time and it wouldnt go to waste.

Blog #8 Biocontainment Facility

Well if you are entering a biocontainment facility.... you must clean your body with this special soap.... then you put on the suit .. after you wash the suit.... oh and before that you must put on layers and layers of clothes on... just in case of something does happen you dont have to worry too much... you put on gloves... and a helmet.... you continue to to this and you have to keep making sure that nothing goes wrong with the suit because if so then you most likely will die of which ever disease you are working with.

Blog #9 Government & Army

Government : I think that the government should have every right to do whatever they want in a serious situation, where peoples lives are being put in danger. As long as they are doing their best to keep everyone safe, its fine with whatever they do. Sometimes the government might isolate you if a disease like that ever  spread, and some people might have to miss work,  or school. But does it really matter? No as long as you are still alive (in my opinion).

Army: I also believe that the army should be very involved in this situation because they are also protecting us, and other people outside of the situation. If it wasn't for the army in the movie, those people would have tried to escape from the area. Some of the people who were even contaminated with the disease, could have escaped and go to another city, where they could have spread the disease to thousands of more people. It would just be a never ending cycle.

Blog #5 Prokaryotes and Microorganisms

 I good type of prokaryote (which is bacteria) would be yeast. Yeast is a good fungi. It's not harmful at all. It is used for baking, and for making alcoholic beverages. The way it helps humans is that it provides food for us. So most likely it isn't harmful at all since they use it in food daily and in beverages too.

 Now a harmful bacteria would be Streptococcus. It can cause infections like strep throat. Sometimes even a serious diseases like pneumonia. At times Streptococcus and be fatal.

Blog #6 The Hot Zone Poem

The horrible pain the man had to go through, no words to describe
    He never knew what was coming next
    Every moment he spent on that plane, he was dying rapidly
    He didn't even know what to think, there was no time to think
    Only he would know something was wrong with him, but he stood calm
    The only thing he could think of was if he was going to die
    Zombie, would be the word to describe the way he looked
    On the other hand, there was no way that he would be able to survive a fast spreading virus
    No one on the plane would have thought that the virus would get to them, eventually
    Everything he went through.......there is no way to describe
