Response to "I have a dream."

Martin Luther King Jr. changed our country for the better because he stood up for what he thought was right for our country and our land. Despite that so many people doubted his thoughts and completely disagreed with his views, he continued to stand up for his beliefs in civil rights. Not only did Martin Luther King Jr. stand up for blacks, but he also had courage to stand up for other genders and people that were of different races and religions. Although he was not some soldier, the President, or any other elected official Martin Luther King Jr. is still, to this day, considered an Americann hero for changing our country in the positive ways that he did.

Response to "Your Gamete, Myself."

This article was very interesting to me. It showed two possibilities families have to have children, if they are unable to conceive their own. Many women, or men, have complications and are left wondering if they will ever be able to start their own family. These decisions include adoption or in vitro fertilization. I think that it is all up to the family, and really I don't think I could say which I would choose because I feel like you need to be in the situation to know what's right.

I think, though, that many couples look for details in families from which they'll adopt from or whatnot, that are completely unnecessary. Things such as hair color, skin color, and eye color are considered, but I don't think that those things should even matter. What matters is that these couples will be able to have a family, when before they were unable to do so. They should feel blessed to have someone that can be theirs to begin with.
