Welcome to my blog!
Wow, who would have thought I'd ever have a blog? Not me.
I'll try to make it interesting.
Let's see...

About Me
- Cecile Coignoux-Aram
- Palo Alto, CA, United States
- I grew up in a multicultural family in Paris, France. I have always had a genuine interest for languages; how we use them, and what they reflect about our thoughts and culture. I have lived on two islands in the Caribbean (Saint Martin and Curacao) before moving to California in 1999. Once in California, I finally studied what had been a general interest for years and graduated from UC Berkeley with Honors in Linguistics and French Literature in 2007.

What also strikes me about cloning is the issue of "desirable traits". Typically these traits favor large size animals or high milk-producing animals for example over the health of the animal. The USDA has ruled that "downer cows" (cows that can't stand on their own) are unhealthy to eat. Sounds logical doesn't it? Perhaps we should poll cows and find out what traits they would like emphasized in their breeding, rather than asking the beef industry. Perhaps they would ask for faster legs!
It really is too bad about the weakened state of the dollar. I believe after the election things may turn around.
As for cloned animals, the cards aren't in yet. On one hand, it could make better quality meat, milk etc... On the other hand, is it ethical? If we make super species in animals for breeding, that seems just one step away from the same thing happening with humans.
I would try to put Welcome to my blog on one line. It would look better. Also, in the cloned entry, it says coloned in one place.
Bonjour Cécile!
Je crois avoir détecté votre visite sur mon site, car la source de la visite était mon blog et le visiteur de Palo Alto. Et j'ai vu quelque part que vous habitez à Palo ALto!
Tout ceci pour tacher de communiquer!
