I don’t think we should alter nature. What is ment to be is . In the begging thins where almost perfect, until man disrupted nature, trying to have more and be supperios to other. At one point it wasn’t nssecary because it was enough resources and land for everybody. Now we have to alter certain things to correct things that we changed and altered  in the past. The balance of ethics and science is the key to advanceing while keeping our humanity and ethics. The Man on the moon by George J. Annas was A  accurate hypothesis  of what humanity would be if we continue to genetically alterering  living things espescialy humans. The movie Gattaca  was visual proff of what would happen. George J. Annas historically showed how people who thought they where superior, wheter it was A race,religion culture or creed, tried to conquer the other peoplr and felt justified doing it. Cristofer Columbus Thought that his race was superior to the Indians so he murderd, enslaved, and converted them to his religion, and felt justified doing it . Although they had some uncivilized ways, they actually where more civiled then him. They lived A healthier more natural and peaceful life. We all have to have one mind, one way of life, assimilate to one race  to stop us from trying to coquer each other. We still would try to conquer each others ideas. But done positively and ethicaly it would yield grete results for the universe. In Gattaca the genetically engenered humans took over and made the natural ones outcasts. The naturals where better because there metaphisical qualitys, such as : leadership, will, motivation , innovation, compassion, etc, couldn’t be engineered genetically. Vincents dream and drive made him superior to Eugene. Eugene had better genes but made so few mistakes , that he couldn’t learn from them and fufill his Dream like Vincent, because swimming wasn’t his dream it was what he was designed to do.   The movie gave A frightening visual display of what life could be like if we continue to practice unethical science. Gattaca was A graphic proff of George J. Annas argument. On Page 234 he wrote about cloned animals and a the laboratory experiments confined them. It would be the same way with humans just on A huge scale. The article spoke valumes in there examples of people thinking they where superior like the crusades, germans, imperialism, cloning animals and more. This shows trouhout history we have tried to conquer or kill, the living things  we felt we where better thanThere where some Europeans who felt the afrians  where savages. They conquered them and killed millons of people in the Prosess. America spreads democracy across the world, by force because they say it’s the superior way to govern the people. They have  futre plans  to continoue this. Thus proveing humans who think they are superior or who are, will try to concour the other. Since  history and the present agree, its A fact that our future will to.

After analyzing the Matrix and Oedipus the King I observed similar concepts and themes. They both 

where about the ignorance of human beings in a certain time periods. The matrix was in the future and Oedipus the King was in the past. In the matrix. They both had people who where enlightened and unenlightened and showed the results of it. In the Matrix the people where ignorant to the fact that they where being used by machines as slaves and power sources. In the movie cipher was eating A stack that he knew wasn’t real. He said that ignorance is bliss and that he would rather go back to the matrix and forgets the truth, rather than live the painful inconvenient truth. I in feared that most of the people in the Matrix would have done the same thing.  In Oedipus the King, Jokester said listen to me, I beg you. Don’t do this in line 1270. She dint want Oedipus to search further for the truth because it would dishonor her and reveal shameful secrets of After analyzing the Matrix and Oedipus the King I observed similar concepts and themes. They both there family. Neo and Oedipus where both truth seekers who had serious questions about life as they knew it. News was what the Matrix...was Oedipus question was about his family. They both had profits and oracles who predicted their futures. Neo believed the oracle and it helped him become the one. Even though the oracle told him he wasn’t. Oedipus didn’t believe the profits because they told him what he didn’t want to hear. It caused him to be very angry and still fulfill there prophecies the more he tried to run away from them. Neo was happy to accept the truth. Oedipus continues questioned it. In line 1160 Oedipus was ready to kill or exile himself at the thought of the prophecies being true. Oedipus was happy in the beginning as he assumed he was rightfully king in on top of the world. They both did research to find the truth. Neo committed his life to it, by taking the red pill and joining amorphous. Oedipus keep asking the gods, profits, his son and the old sheared to find answers to his question. The knowledge of the truth provided a harsh reality in both texts. The difference was what the main characters did with it. They both taught to search for the truth at all cost. Also the hard dicsion it would be to choose the truth over a lie. The message was to choose the truth at all cost.
