Designer Babies

I think that it is wrong create a designer baby for any reason. If I had a baby born with a rare disease that was going to give him problems the rest of his life and I could design a baby to save the first, I wouldn't do it. It sounds harsh, but is it as harsh as creating a baby for the sole purpose of saving your first child? The second child wouldn't have been created out of love, he would have been created with a purpose.

Holocaust Denial

If someone came up to me and told me that the Holocaust never happened, I would ask them to explain why they believed that. After the tell me about how the holocaust didn't happen I would tell them that I believe the Holocaust did happen. I would tell them about all the evidence that supports that the Holocaust did happen. There are still existing concentration camps throughout Europe and the most famous one: Auschwitz is still around. If you go to the concentration camps you can find gas chamber and crematoria where people were killed and there bodies burned to ashes. I would also show the person some of the pictures taken of the Jews in the concentration camps during the war. Pictures are worth a thousand words and you can't say something didn't happen if you have real photos of the event. If this isn't enough evidence then I would tell the people about the survivors. Why would millions of people tattoo their arms with numbers? How do you go up to a survivor and tell him/her that the Holocaust never happened when they lived through it?
