Dear Mom, Dad

Dear Mom, Dad,

I hope you are doing well. I have something important to me that I want to share with you. I will provide you with lots of news about my future life and I hope you will be fine with what you are going to read in the next paragraph.

I want to get an American girlfriend. I know you wouldn't agree due to the cultural differences between our countries. Well, I think I have the right to tell my opinion, and as you raised me, opening up is not something new between us. For that reason, I will tell you how I think and why I'm taking this step.
I want an American girlfriend because this will help me practice English and improve my speaking skills. You will say that I can practice with my Saudi Arabian friend, and this will help us all. I have been living with my "Saudi Arabian friends" for almost a year, and guess what, I'm not improving. Instead, the only benefit that I got is I learned how to cook certain food. Do not try to tell me that I should get an Arabian girlfriend. I did it before and you know what happened, Arabian girls are the same and you know it. I want to learn about different things, new cultures, and new aspect of love which would be more different if I have an American girlfriend. It is true that we have different traditions, and you may find some difficulties in communicating, but I can assure you that I will be more than happy to translate, and I will teach her some Arabic. Mom, Dad, I'm grown enough to be trusted, and you always trust me with lots of things, I'm asking you to trust me in this. It is obvious that you are worried about me not coming home if I took this step, but you don't need to. In general, girls in the US are more open-minded. It is not necessarily that I will stay in the US forever, I may get married and live in Saudi Arabia, or even Europe. What I need you to know that you are my family and whatever happen nothing will keep me away from you.

I hope you give me a call when you read the letter.

You beloved son,
Motaz

Human Cloning, First E-Source

Annas, G. J., & Robertson, J. A. (1997). Human cloning. ABA Journal, 83(5), 80. Retrieved from EBSCOhost.

 George Annas is a professor and the Chair of the Department of Health Law, Bioethics and Human Right of Boston University School of Public Health. In this article, he presents the pros and cons of cloning of human. He presents an idea in how many people have a definition of human; weakening the human dignity. His ideas was good because it may help me with my research which in mainly about why we shouldn't clone. One of the point I would use in my arguments is how the human have the right to not to regenerate. Professor George article has some supportive ideas and some new ideas that may support my research.
