Ye Shall Be As Gods? – Class 8, Period 3

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

A careful observer might note that Juli was looking mildly peaky today. A breakthrough in a project tended to make sleep scarce—especially when the breakthrough happens late at night. The snow giraffes she’d had to avoid on her way up to the school had only convinced her that she needed more sleep. Preferably right away.

Nonetheless, she was as neatly put together and composed as usual. Even slightly mirthful, but it was unlikely most of her students would recognize that. Once all her students had gathered. Juli smiled faintly and took a sip of her coffee. Mmmm. Coffee.

“I’m quite certain at least some of you have guessed the content of today’s class. Yes, midterms.” Thrilling. At least she didn’t have to do much talking today.

“Once you’ve received your test papers you may begin,” Juli said, “no two tests are alike, and I am looking for complete and well-thought answers. No matter your opinion I wish to see what reasoning you’ve got to back it up.”

She eyed the class, eyebrows quirking almost unnoticeably at the three sparkle-balls assuming they’re around she had instead of students and added dryly, “If you currently do not possess hands, or alternative means of writing, please see me once the exam has started.”

Yes. Juli needed more coffee for this.

“Begin.”

[Please to be waiting for the massive OCD is up! Yay!]

Midterm Questions!

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

Answer your questions carefully and make sure to back your reasoning up!

[Or, alternately, handwave doing the questions and tell me how well your character would’ve done. Just keep in mind that Juli is a strict grader. As you do. And answering the questions is probably more amusing. ^^ ]

1. Death. What is it, do you think, that drives people to try and deny that limit?

2. Why would anyone want to clone themselves? Explain your reasoning.

3. Living weapons who have the sole purpose in life to obey orders. Would you feel sorry for them? Why or why not?

Re: Midterm Questions! Anathema Device

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

1. Would you say that entirely artificial people should be the legal equals to ‘regular’ people?

2. Capital punishment has been tossed in favour of personality reconditioning. Do you approve? Why or why not?

3. Getting home from a trip you find that a clone has replaced you—taking over your life. What would you do? Why?

Re: Midterm Questions! Anemone

1. Define ‘Monster’ and how people apply it to those who they classify as ‘different’.

2. Conditioning can always be overcome. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?

3. If you were to genetically alter someone else what would you do to them?

1. What uses can you think of for rewriting someone else's mind? Explain.

2. There is no room for growth in a world without death. Why then do people try to cheat it?

3. You have been kidnapped and genetically altered without your permission. Your kidnappers now expect you to work with them. To the world you are legally dead. What would you do? Why?

1. Resurrection. What do you think would drive someone to do it? Explain your reasoning.

2. What rights would you give entirely artificial, man-made, people? Why?

3. Different, special, mutant, freak—what would you say best defines you? Why?

1. How do you think you’d react if you met a clone of yourself? Why?

2. Explain what you believe is the most common genetic alteration a civilian parent would do to their child. Do you think this is a good thing?

3. If death can be reversed why do you think most of the time we don’t reverse it?

Re: Midterm Questions! Kabuto Yakushi

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

1. Genetic mutants. What use do they serve in your world-view?

2. Personality reconditioning. Would you do it to someone else? Explain your reasoning.

3. Is there ever a point to bringing someone back from the dead? What point would it be for you?

Re: Midterm Questions! Naminé

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

1. How would you define ‘normal’?

2. You have committed a terrible crime. Your choices are either death or total personality reconditioning. Which would you choose? Why?

3. If you were given the chance to bring someone back from death—but only with severe repercussions to the rest of the world—would you? Why?

Re: Midterm Questions! Peter Parker

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

1. Genetic alteration. Where do you draw the line? Why?

2. Just because someone can be created to look like you, does not mean they will act like you. If you had clones would you rather your clones acted similarly or differently to the way you regularly act? Why?

3. Which personal limit of yours are you most interested in surpassing? Explain your reasoning.

Re: Midterm Questions! Sky Tate

1. Government-created mutants. What purpose would they have if you were in charge of the government?

2. If you had the chance to bring someone who died back… would you take it? Do you think they’d want you to take it? Why or why not?

3. Cloning. What purpose do you think it serves? Explain.

Re: Midterm Questions! Z Delgado

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

1. People are dying. You are a mutant-in-hiding. If you reveal yourself you could save them—but if you do that, they’ll turn on you. What would you do? Why?

2. Government-designed super-weapons in a relatively peaceful world. A good thing? A bad thing? Explain your reasoning.

3. What effects do you think would widespread cloning have on a civilization?

Re: Midterm Questions! Zack Addy

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

1. What personal limit of yours do you think you’ll never surpass? Why?

2. Which would you trust more in a combat situation: a regular soldier, or an artificial soldier who can only react within the extent of its conditioning? Explain your reasoning.

3. Special, different, mutant—which term are you most likely to apply to someone who has been genetically altered? Why?

After the Exam

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

Chat, sleep, compare questions and wonder if the exam was rigged.

Peter's week-long mope wasn't gone at this point, but he had to admit, it did feel good to write all of that out.

Talk to the TA

When he's around!

Re: Talk to the TA

Kabuto was around, and less-than-thrilled regarding the test questions.

Talk to Juli

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

Who is craving more coffee and will blithely assure you that the questions weren’t rigged. Totally random. Really.

Re: Talk to Juli

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Why yes, that would be Bridge floating his sparkly self up to Dr. Mizrahi.

Re: Talk to Juli

Sky floated up to Dr. Mizrahi once the exams had begun, as instructed.

A sparkleball-shaped Z floated up to Dr. Mizrahi, as instructed.
