The DON's Answer

According to the movie Gattaca the genetically engineered human was the one that was supposed to be the dominant human. When the parents decided to make their child special they abandoned the other child. They told him that he will never make it to his dreams which were being in space as an astronaut. They treated him different or as an outcast. He even sat at another table from his family. Thee genetic child was treated like a god because the way he was created for him to be the best at whatever he does.

According to George j Annas “humans have always been experimenting and in the year 3000 when the world is covered in water what would the perfect human be like” (page 235). I honestly think when people experiment on other people that are asking for a natural disaster. God made us the way he did for a reason without gills and certain other stuff. It’s not meant for us to have everything but to work with what we got. I understand using technology helps make things easier and might answer some unsolved questions but that’s on mechanical things not humans .Making a super human is not good because this has never been done before there so many things that can go wrong. What if the make a monster that cant be stopped remember he is super human and has ability’s that we don’t have. Like in gattaca the brother antwone was made to be better than his brother Vincent  in almost every way possible. Nothing is perfect and because Vincent out smarted his brother because he was willing to take risk that his brother wouldn’t. That’s what separate them one had a will to reach his destiny by any means. While one of them  knew they was going to make it so to him it wasn’t nothing important but to Vincent him making means a lot and proves everyone wrong especially his parents for treating him like an out cast . it also proved that regular humans can beat a genetically made human . There a imitation of us which is real people .i don’t think cloning people would be a great upgrade to the world. Cloning anything is not all good because its nothing like the original. What are the effects of cloning animals? How long did they survive? And what were side effects? Was it something that changed them drastically? How this would effect humans and is this really necessary. Why do we need clones for what? Aren’t there other things that can be cloned and if so stick to that. Cloning can be the down fall of all humanity . is this worth it at all not at all I would not vote for this if it ever came to a vote clone or no clone

When deep dark past secrets are revealed and brought to the sun light. Either the person that just found out life’s  is gone change for the good or the bad.  Depending on how it is taken.  When ne-yo found out he was the chosen  1 for the matrix’s  he was confused and didn’t know how to take it. He didn’t know why he was the chosen 1. He just knew that his job was to help fight the people that have escaped from the cyber world . Morpheus who is a guy that ne yo met. Had introduces him to the matrix gave ne-yo a choice either red or blue pill and to decide what his faith was.neyo had a chance to stay in the regular life and never know about the matrix or take the blue pill and know all about the matrixs andf the dark side and secrets of it.

As for Oedipus he is a guy that has killed his father who abandoned him when he was a baby . king Laius who was told he will die by the hands of his own son by the oracle .Oedipus was told he would mate with his mother and shed the blood of his own sire

  Growing up there has been a lot of illusions that people have live in.  When they found out that it was a lie it changed their life dramatically or changed their life just a little. In the movie the matrix there’s a situation that I can compare to real life. Which is when the illusion your living is fake how do u deal with the real reality.

When Neo first entered the matrix it wasn’t something he was ready for.  He was put in a situation where he had to witness the effects of the matrix and the reality of real life. He had to choose what life he wanted to live, the real world or the computerized world that felt so real you probably couldn’t tell the difference. Like in real life when you found out Santa is not real and it were your parents giving you gifts all the time. That’s something you weren’t ready for but it’s also something you had to deal with. I’m pretty sure it changed your life especially if you really believe in it. Now you look at things differently. You’re questioning what’s real and what’s not. Like Neo he wanted to know why he was chosen to be in the matrix and all these test to see if he is the one. Like when you’re trying to qualify for a high position at a job there’s test you have to go to see if you’re really the one they been looking for.

The same way neo had to experience test is the same way we have just not with all the fighting but when taking test you don’t know what’s on the test you just know you have to pass it to keep on moving with your life. In the matrix neo has challenges he has to overcome to fulfill his destiny which is to fight the machines. There’s also agents(smith and brown) trying to stop neo from fighting the machines and letting humans leave the cyber world .In real world there’s people that try to stop you from completing your destiny or accomplishing your goals your is to accomplish their goal is to stop you from accomplishing your goals . It seems like everything is a fight and if you can’t fight expects to be stopped in your tracks.

The matrix is sort like the real world because when you find out it’s not real you either have to deal with it or your do something about it. You can’t live in the shadows forever so when reality hits you have to except it . the matrix is a dream world basically and in your dreams everything feels so real that when you wake up you swear IT WAS REAL .I HAD DREAMS I WAS SHOPPING AND GOT SNEAKERS I REALLY WANTED. WHEN I WOKE UP IT WASN’T THERE AND I RECOGNIZED IT WAS ALL A DREAM . I CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THE MATRIX BEST FITS WHATS CLOSER TO REALITY .IT SHOWS U THAT DREAMS OR ILLUSIONS CAN BE REAL DEPENDING ON HOW YOU SEE IT OR DEPENDING HOW YOUR MIND TAKES IT.
