1) Do the writing task on page 84 of the Expert coursebook. It's an article for a students' magazine so keep it informal, almost conversational, and remember to include all the points mentioned in the instructions. (220-260 words)
2) There was some controversy on an i09 article about life extension. This reminded me of the text we read today in class on how life might change in the following 100 years.
One of the readers had an interesting point about death check it out and we will discuss it on Monday:
-Screw the rhetoric "death is a part of life". It's sour grapes "If I can't be immortal, at least I can take comfort in knowing no-one else will be either." It's little more than attempting to cope with the hopelessness of dying that terminal patients do.
The human race is a terminal patient. There is a possible cure. That cure could save everyone everywhere from the same inevitable fate of rotting in the ground.
I never said it was easy. I never said it was tomorrow. I said, quite truthfully, that the more funding research is given the greater the likelihood of a solution being found, and the sooner it will be found.
