DNA Test Gives Students Ethnic Shocks

I really liked this article because I can relate to it. I grew up believing I was 100% Puerto Rican. But, my grandfather immigrated from Spain, which means that there is some part of me that isn't Puerto Rican. These type of things have always confused me. Even when I was little, I always believed that I was 100% Puerto Rican. Then, as I got older my mom would tell me stories of how her father came to New York City from Spain before she was born. I have also learned of other different types of blood that runs through my family and our history. I've been told I have the blood of some native indians and other cultures. If I was given the chance to take this test like these students were, I would definitely not turn the option down. I believe it can help a lot of students, and even other people learn about the history of their families & where their families came from.

Eugenics in 21st Century

I believe this article touched on a lot of sensitive subjects having to deal with eugenics. I think I liked this article and was so interested because this is an on going issue in our country and is becoming more and more important everyday in our country.  I myself am not sure how I feel on the subject of cloning and stem cell research. When it mentions the part about parents nervous about their kids inheriting "undesirable traits" I get nervous and scared, because for me, I don't know if I would be able to handle such a serious thing in my life. But at the same time, I also believe the way you raise your own kids is how they'll know you. No matter what type of traits your kids inherit whether they're yours or not, your kids will always know you as you and noone else.
