breathing. My infant body didn't know better than to just breathe in, so I had to let my instincts do their work. I started to breath in, feeling the air rush against the back off my throat, somehow knowing I would not be able to go back into the comfort of my mother's womb. This is probably not the reason I cried when I was born, bet never the less, it probably was a weird sensation. I needed to breathe, because I needed to live. Without this seemingly invisible function of the human body, I would not

Scientific research concerning living organisms is usually beneficial. They are done to cure people from illness and to save people's lives. Especially thanks to this day and age where we have the technology and research to do so, compared to back then. However when science used to alter people or animals then it crosses a line that is considered immoral to all -- for instance altering a rabbit’s genetics so that they can glow in the dark. Changing an organism and making them mutants like that violates
