"The 'magic pill' certainly puts a different spin on it all. Implications of changing who they are at the core is disturbing (especially in the genetic manipulation category). I would prefer to work with the 'architect plans' we were given and use the best materials and find the flaws that can be corrected as we build. I would hate to think that I messed with the 'Frank Lloyd Wright' plans to come up with a cookie cutter ranch..."
I liked the Frank Lloyd Wright reference and, as I thought about it, it had more and more connections to my life dealing with a autistic daughter:
- Frank Lloyd Wright buildings went notoriously overbudget, those of dealing with the spectrum, nuff said
- Buildings were often leaky...Again...spectrum...nuff said
- Frank himself, if I recall, was notoriously tough to deal with, not to the extent of many autistics.
- He made the most of the space he had... What was that one house called? Waterfall or something like that. I imagine my daughter has created a beautiful personal space; even if it has only enough room for herself and her fingers in front of her face! She's letting us visit more and more lately.
- His buildings are arguably some of the most beautiful in the modern age. You KNOW MY daughter IS the most beautiful in the modern age. Actually, its 4 way tie with the other girls in the house.
Alright, turned sappy, thanks for listening,
Bill
