Return doesnt work well
I am feeling quite happy currently. Even though I am like uber sleepy. Just done with CS lab. I not only finished on time, I finished early! And I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my code since I passed all the dynamic tests. At least nothing major. But I feel pretty proud of myself. Because I didn’t study functions and I totally did not expect it to come out. But it did! thank god it is open book so I have like immediate reference. If not I will probably die a painful death. about 4 hours left before maths test. thank god I have no school tomorrow.
but programming is pretty fun. Just a little confusing at times. Of course, I don’t ever bother to understand why the computer does what it does… apparently everything goes a little deeper. But I usually stop at the you don’t need to know this part.
I read a part of an article today which got me all confused. Actually no. Anyway, it was on nanotechnology and its ethical aspects. Which happens to be my project for the remaining weeks. In fact, we are suppose to finish half of it by next week even though it officially starts this week. and my group members seems even more clueless than I am. And that is hardly a good thing.
Anyway, the confusing thing is that the author wrote something about how nanotechnology might face ethical dilemmas. One of which is the commodification of the human body. Apparently, with nanotechnology, it is possible to heal specific parts of the body. Like the nano particles are able to target certain cells or regions of the body and fix it up. Which makes it a fantastic thing. This would mean that there is a potential cure for anything. Apparently this does not sit well with some people. Because it likens the body to a machine… something goes wrong, you fix it. So the human body becomes like a commodity and nanotechnology demystify it.
I don’t get why this is a dilemma. I thought healers and doctors exist throughout centuries to cure illnesses? so what is wrong with fixing a small part of the body that goes wrong? So it is ok to try and solve problems in the body when there are some you can’t solve. And it is no longer ok when you can solve everything? I don’t know. Maybe, I didn’t really understood the argument. In fact, I never do get this sort of argument. Including things like the sanctity of life etc. etc.
ok, I shall do more research during the weekends. In the meantime, maths is the priority, I shall sleep early tonight, my eyes are half the size they were… last week.
Maybe some Hollywood Undead will wake me up.
