Poster presentation day 2.

I did my poster presentation on Friday 1st, February.
I did my best but, I felt I needed to be prepared more, because sometimes I had difficulties explain clearly.
However, all listeners were very kind and helpful, thus, it was OK.
Through this first interview, I learned a lot about how to do an effective interview.
I should be prepared perfectly before the interview and try to arrange the conversation smoothly.
By the way, Chris announced that we will learn how to make a commic using the mac next week, and it seems very interesting!

Interview practice

Last week, during the CM class, we practiced some interview skills.
My interviewer was Kodai and I asked him "If you could genetically engineer your child, would you do so?".
His answer was "No".
And he explained me that he thinks that genetically engineer his child is unmoral thing, and no matter how much his child has defects he will love his child.
I was surprised because I had exactly the same opinion as him.
Anyway it was interesting to do some practice like this class!

My interest in bioethics

I have one topic "euthanasia" which I'm interested in bioethics, therefore I'm going to write about this.
Firstly, for the people who doesn't know the meaning of euthanasia, here is the definition:"Euthanasia is the practice of voluntarily having a medically-assisted death"(Wikipedia).
Secondly, I haven't research a lot about this topic, but here is my opinion.
For the people who suffers very much by the sickness, and if there is no hope to getting better, euthanasia is a good solution.
However there are many oposit opinion, thus I'm going to research about it.
Finally, I'm going to reserach about this topic and decide if I would like to make presentation about it or not.
