Baby Reflection

I don't necessarily agree with the parents going in and altering the baby to make sure it can't have the disease, but I don't exactly disagree with it either. It has a lot of pros and cons. This baby could save the other child, and if nothing goes wrong then its beneficial to the new child as well because it can never get the disease either. On the other hand, if something goes wrong while the parents are trying to "design" the new child, this child could have many problems down the line or maybe even die in the process of being altered so he/she is immune  to the disease. My stance on it completely depends on how well the baby can actually be changed without causing any harm. This could either save two lives, or destroy two.

Holocaust Denial

If someone was talking to me and at some point they decided to tell me that the Holocaust was all a big lie, I would be astonished. First of all I would be thinking "Wow. Could this person be more of an idiot?" But if they gave me some little screwed up excuse for facts in order to cover up the fact that they're just hateful jerk, I'd be happy to engage in a "friendly" debate with them. They might say some things about the Jews doing it for attention or to attract the world's sympathy so that they could take over. I would simply show them the actual statistics of how many deaths there were (not limited to only Jews by the way), point them to some nice little youtube videos with footage inside the camps and piles upon piles of dead bodies strewn all over the ground. Hitler was obviously an evil and psycho dude. Just listen to some of the things he said in his speeches. He made it clear that he hated Jews and wanted to create a pure German race, I think that speaks volumes about the fact that the Nazi's designed a sadistic, well thought out plan to exterminate the Jewish race. I would show them some books and videos on the Holocaust survivors as well. But in all honesty, no facts would change their mind. If a person is truly that narrow, and that blinded by his or her hatred of Judaism, no amount of facts or heart wrenching images is going to make them change their minds. If someone is that stupid,  they're doomed to stay in their own little world of denial and idiocy forever.
