1. There isn't really a solution for this. But if every one could take care of their health and watch their diet, people would not need to have the transplant. Thus, I feel that this is a way to reduce the waiting time for the transplant.


2. Yes, there is a possibility. Now, people are already trying to use chimeras to clone or grow organs. I think that it is a feasible idea although it may have another set of moral debate. Although using chimeras seems quite cruel to the animal or even scary as the animal is "mutated", if it is for saving lives, why not? I'm not implying that the chimeras has to "die" for as but, since the cells of the organ are "reproducible", we can use a chimera to save many lives. If certain religions are against this, they'll just have to join in the que to wait for their human organ transplant. There are also others who do not mind about the fact that their organs are cloned or grown from chimeras, so why not give it a shot?

3. Not all people who go for the organ transplants have a bad diet or are unhealthy, some of them needs a transplant because the disease or cancer is hereditary. Moreover, it's it insane to say that people should just die if they did not take care of themselves in the first place. People are imperfect and do make mistakes. If you give them a chance (like the chance to have an organ transplant) to correct the mistake, I believe that they would. I do not see why they deserve to die when they can correct themselves, unless they misuse that one chance. So I feel that none of them deserves to die.

School is a mysterious yet fun place to me. Yes, it is fun as I regard it as a second home, and a wonderful place to learn about different subjects how life should be. (Yes, I mean life.)

The reason why I regard it as a second home is not because our principal said that we should do so, but instead, it is because of the commitment I have in the school and the long hours I spend in school. (Maybe not a long as the other students.) In school, besides my studies, I have my CCA and Student Council things to do. Because of this, I have to stay back in school just instead of spending the time playing at home. If it were not for the commitment and passion for all these, I would be at home doing something else. Besides, isn't 7 hours a long period of time? That is the average amount of time I would spend in school without other activities during the later part of the day. Furhter more, I have good friends in school, that is why I regard it as a second home.

Talking about learning, yes, I do enjoy learning different subjects most of the time. I just feel that the way I look at things is boarder each day I learn something. Of course, I have friends in school that teaches me indirectly, especially a few who I trust the most. They would always make me laugh and will go through thick and thin together with me. At times I fall, but they never fail to encourage me to make me stand on my feet. During all these, I will always learn some things about life. I feel that if I were to home-school, I would not be able to socialise and learn so many useful things in life. So, to me this feels fun in a way.

Mysterious. Everyday in school is always different in a way or the other. You can't exactly predict what will happen on the day itself. For example, sometimes your friends would give you a surprise for no reason. Also, sometimes our school would do seemly redundant things like making rules that has no apparent reason behind it. Moreover, most of the time, the stress level can be described like the temperature of the Sahara Dessert; sometimes schooling seems so carefree, but at the next moment, you realise that you are drowned with assignments.

School is about this to me; School is like a fun mystery to solve.
