Phase 2: Blog 4

"Are you calling me stupid?" says Emby.
"I think I just did."
 Hayden laugh."Hey, the Mouth Breather is right- unwinding does help people. If it wasn't for unwinding , there'd be bald guys again- and wouldn't that be horrible?"
Diego snickers, but COnor is not the least bit amused. "Emby, why don't you do us all a favor and use your moth for breathing instead of talking until we land, or crash, or whatever."
"You might think I'm stupid, but I got a good reason for the way I feel," Emby says. "When I was little, I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Both my lungs were shutting down. I was gonna die. So they took out both my dying lungs and gave me a single lung from an Unwind. The only reason I'm alive is because that kid got unwound." Page 168-169

When Emby was a child, he was saved by an unwounded child's lungs. This just shows inequality amongst the people of the society. So Emby was saved by that kid's lungs. But the kid who would unwounded didn't have the choice of being a donor or not. He was forced to give up his body parts. Everyone should be equal, but apparently, Emby's life was worth more and he was more important than that kid. It's sad to see how the parent's of the children that are being unwounded is allowing for this to happen. They should stop it, or at least not sign papers for them to be unwind. I can feel the anger within me, just by reading Emby's reasons of why unwinding is good. It's only good to him because he benefited from it without knowing the damages that he's caused. This reveals our society to be selfish and oblivious to the emotions and rights of a child. Everyone one, whether they are a child or an adult should have the ability to make their own decisions, and not have someone decide for them.
