Busy, Sodomy, Old Mothers

I have completely forgotten about this blog in the midst of my ultra-stressing time towards the end of my semester.

Though I’m technically on ‘holidays’, the last thing I could do right now is to relax. Currently, I’m writing an analysis report on Indonesia, democracy, cultural imperialism and Islam. It’s something that I like, but when I have to type thousands of words along with some ridiculously structured sources, it’s become tedious and annoying.

Things on the news have been the same all over again, with news involving an anus and genital dominating the mass media. It’s crazy what politics have become.

Anwar’s not that bad, at least he’s not with a horse.

I’m probably going to be bombarded by the millions of Anwar supporters for saying this, but I really think that Anwar and Saiful (or his back) did have something ‘personal’ going on. It’s my formulated verdict after reading materials, books about Anwar and the Barisan Nasional.

The latest news also came upon Anwar’s refusal to provide DNA, in which he defends he did not want his ‘DNA’ result, to be manipulated, again.

I’m not a big fan of Barisan Nasional, but I do not think they would actually do that. Sure, call this an amateur logic considering on what they did to Altantuya. But, I do not think Barisan Nasional is stupid enough to venture into this scandal AGAIN, if they have no whatsoever assurance to back it up. I also do no think they would have the nerve to actually manipulate the sample considering the worldwide attention it has gotten.

I am wondering, could it be possible if the case was ‘handed’ to a foreign country? Thus there is no fear of bias or manipulation in the process.

I mean Pakistan did it with the death of Benazir Bhutto, whereby foreign investigators were called to analyze the case, instead of the untrusted Musharraf regime at the time who were the first to examine the death.

If this happens, Anwar should not refuse to give his DNA sample and Saiful, well, I don’t exactly know what they do to him. How do you check if Saiful has been sodomized by Anwar? I have this shameful thought in my mind that I don’t think I should share.

So I posted a poll on my blog, relating to the sodomy case and as you can probably see, majority think Anwar is innocent. While the second majority say they think he really did it.

Anwar should really be glad he has the charisma to garner large support. If he hasn’t, I don’t think he’ll still be roaming about free now.

100-year Old Mothers.

Nice cap Grandma, er, I mean, mother.

I have this fascination with bio-technology, cells, clones, genes, and you get the drift. So imagine how fascinated I was when I read the news, infertility can soon be ‘cured’, which literally means women of any age can still get pregnant.

I don’t know am I supposed to feel towards this breakthrough. I mean, it’s great that women can bare their fetuses anytime, but seeing how people are becoming in the modern world, I think it’s more of a problem than it is a help.

We’re going to have more BBA (born by accident) cases in the future, and yes, that include our mothers. How scary is that.

Imagine you’re 50, and your mother is 80 and pregnant. 50 years gap to my own sibling? That sounds ridiculous. Besides, what sane old woman would want to have a child when they reach 80 or worse, 100?

As a son, I am not emotionally equipped if my mother was to accidentally conceive a baby when she reaches 80. Can you imagine her coming to me one day and telling me she got knocked up?

The paper says the technology will become a reality in 30 years time.

While curing infertility in women is the main point of this breakthrough, the scientists are also using this technique to create, what I call, ‘designer babies’.

This means, you can design how your baby is, this includes their color, hair color, height, and even intelligence. Your baby can even have disease-free genes.

As great as it sounds, I think the whole thing is scary.

People can call this progress, but I think we are seriously messing up the world.

There’ll be a new sort of discrimination again. This time it will be between the ‘designer humans’ and the ‘normal humans’.

After reading many history books, one thing I have noticed is that; History is doomed to repeat.

We just keep making the same historic mistake over and over again.

What an anal world.
