http://wrt200suarez.blogspot.com/ The article, "Your Gamete, Myself", gave me a lot of mixed feelings. I think that there are some good aspects about In Vitro Fertilization, such as helping people have the children that they have always wanted. However, there are many parts of it that I do not like. For one reason, I do not understand why people choose I.V.F. when they could just adopt. They could give a child, who is already in this world, a home and a good family. But instead they choose to undergo this expensive process to have another child, who in the same way an adopted child will know about their adoption, will know that those parents are not their real parents. It just seems like such a waste to me. Another reason why I do not really like I.V.F, is because of all of the different drugs that must be used in order for the eggs to be transplanted into the new mother. Then you have the fact that it is not guaranteed to work and all of that money will have been wasted. Now, I know that my opinions are going to be slightly biased because my own brother was adopted, however, after the drugs and the money, and the fact that there is another option, I just do not see why people decide to go with in vitro fertilization.

While I read, "Facebook: Why I hate it...," I found it funny that, although I spend hours each day on my own facebook, I also agree with what the author was writing about. There are so many times when I actually could say that I hate facebook, but love it at the same time. Facebook is just so addicting. I could be researching information for my essay, and suddenly realize an hour later that I had, at some point, logged onto facebook. There are just so many different things happening on facebook, and I feel that I have to keep checking to make sure I'm not missing anything. I know that there are other things that I could and probably should be doing, like my homework, but I just can't help but go on. In the article, Sarah Kliff mentioned how on facebook, people are having virtual relationships with other people instead of actually being with them, and I have to agree. It is true that I could be talking with someone online, when in reality she lives just down the hall. I could just turn off my computer and go to hang out with her, but I never think to do that.http://wrt200suarez.blogspot.com/
