My Comments: I find the concept of other forms of life in the universe very intriging. The idea of not being alone is comforting and leads to so many new oppertunities and questions. The discovery could also benifit the understanding of the creation of life in general. The article itself discusses the past and on going searches to find this new life and even though nothing has been found yet the human race is far from giving up on the idea and so am I.

This article discusses the possibilities of extraterrestrial life existing in the universe. The article says that there are already 150 different planets in the area near the solar system. Workers in SETI have been searching for outside life for about 45 years. The SETI institute is located in Mountain View, California. The SETI program works by sending out radio emissions hoping for a response from outer space.

I decided to read this article because I find memory and brains very interesting. The different ways of how brains can remember and not remember things interest me. From the article I learned that scientists now have been researching the various kinds of memory as well as which parts of the brain are involved in each. Scientists still seem unsure of some things, but are continuously researching and experimenting.

I chose to write about this article, beacuse i am interested in this topic very much. i am nervous to see if there are any more living organisms in the universe besides humans. it would be interseting to see if we could go to mars and meet new organisms. if we did, would we interact with them well? Or would we start a conflict with living things on another planet?

We think that the article brings up a great question. Not alot of people think about how we think or remember. We take for granted that our ears help us so much. They take in all of the information we know today, that we need to know tommorow. Their have been many experiments on animals to help with these studies and make advances.

-Until recently, the study of consciousness and such was really only something that philosophers studied. But that is no more. Now scientists are getting in on the studies and trying to unlock the mysteries of consciousness. A theory is that different parts of consciousness are controlled by different parts of the brain. More and more information is being discovered and now it is a lot easier for younger scientists to get into the field.

The article to me is a little bland. It beats around the bush and dosen't realy explain much. However this topic is one I consider very important. These terrible deseases that are linked to a persons genetics and not personal choices are one that should be cured. It's kinda scary that some things we have absolutly no control over and are born with.

I found this fascinating because what if humans could live longer then they normally could. Even though immortality may not be as great as people think. They so far have ran tests on short-life animals like worms and fruit flies with their life span increasing however, these tests are still small, and tests on humans may be to dangerous. but that won't stop scientists from finding the secret of aging
