Human embryos as boundary objects

I really enjoyed reading this article. I think what PGD has to offer is very valuable and needed. Its important for people to be able to have these tests offered to them, so they can have the opportunity to check the well being of their future offspring. Especially now that our culture is seeing more and more older adult becoming parents, it would be helpful if they wanted this test to have it done to assure there will not be an genetic issues. The problem may be that this test is so expensive that only certain people can afford it so it is not available to the wider public, so even if someone wanted to have this test they may not be able to afford it. Either way I think its important to have this available to us and I think that it will help families make better decisions about having a family(that is if they are able to afford these services).
The idea of using waste embryos for therapeutic reasons is also a brilliant idea, First- no embryo is wasted so moral issues would not be a problem, Two- if embryos can be used for therapeutic uses why not. People that suffer from pain want help and for many of them nothing works, if embryos are the answer then they need to be used. And like I mentioned if they are the left over embryos that were going to be tossed anyway, then they are going to a better use than the garbage can.
like I have mentioned before I support the use of embryos for research and as you can see scientist are finding incredible discoveries that are desperately needed and is just so happens to be the human embryo that holds these findings, so we are going to have to use them if we want to improve mental, medical, disease and whatever related issues.
Fortune Chapter 12
This chapter was entertaining to me for whatever reason. It was hard to understand but oddly enough I liked reading it. Although I don't know, but I think this chapter was talking about promises how they are made and hard to keep, or maybe more like the idea that events interpret promises- like when he was talking about the fishing in Iceland. I'm not to sure but that's how I started to interpret the chapter. Fortune still strikes me with they way he writes his book and how he bounces around in his chapters. Everyone is completely different, but has value to genomics and his part in the whole business and of course Iceland and the events that unroll during his research.
