For instance the experiment/magic trick of grinding black pepper over a bowl of water and then putting soap on the tip of your finger without someone seeing. Then you proceed to stick your finger in the water and all the pepper rushes to the sides of the bowl... If you do it correctly it looks like magic to your dim friend xD (I believe it has something to do with the water and the oils in soap and blah blah blah.) I would love to hear of any other cool experiments that are so simple you just can't help but love them.

Well coming from a school that focuses on these things, I'm definitely more for it. ; In it's current stage I don't trust it to be used on humans but definitely in the near future I'm sure it will be immensely helpful in curing the many diseases thousands die from. (But of course that goes into the ethical issue of which is more important and should be focused on more...but I digress.) Well in a primitive way it has already been used on food. (Corn and tomatoes anyone?) But food with added nutrients and better taste/quality is definitely something to look forward to! Also, IMO, people shouldn't be opposed to it as some are. The purpose of genetic engineering is for the betterment of our lives and our future. Though there are downsides. (Science of course isn't perfect and much can go wrong.) But the benefits outweigh the disadvantages overall My BioGenetics teacher better be proud of me for sticking up for this
