I think the second quote by C.S. Lewis in 1944 means that in the future human could do or be whatever they wish to be. Nowadays some people call nature as our mother nature and they claim  that humans are powerless against nature. However, in the quote I think C.S. Lewis is trying to say that humans will overturn the conventional wisdom as gaining new technologies.  However, this means that there would be a battle between humans with those new technologies which are enhanced people and natural human like us. Therefore there would be more enhanced human who could modify themselves and as a result it would change human nature. This is how I interpret C.S. Lewis's quote.

The opposite thing also happened to me when I was in brass band in junior high and high school. For me, the law of unintended consequences means we get unintended result which we have not expected to happen at the beginning.

My topic of essay2 is bioethics and surrogate motherhood system. I chose this topic because I knew the surrogate motherhood system is legal in some countries but in other countries it is not and I was interested in that difference. I heard there is a such difference because the surrogate motherhood system still has problems and those differences affect each family members differently. In my essay, I want to look closely on the problems of the surrogate motherhood system. Ergo, my thesis statement for this essay is 'surrogacy affects family members differently depending on their role in the family.'

Moreover, enhanced students are alsmost perfect on everything I question what is a personality for them.

There are many ways for human to improve their lives. For example, there are several kinds of hormone therapy and one of those is an administration of growth hormone to people who have short stature. Recently some parents feel sorry for their children about inheriting their short stature and decide to take growth hormone therapy, when their children are still small. This is one of the ways to ‘create’ a human being after the birth. Even though it is parents hope, it also means destroying characteristics and individuality.
