Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

    I think that I would like to be one because then I will be helping others discover new things that we couldn’t find before. We may even be saving a life by doing this because we're trying to find new treatments. Although there is something that bugs me and that is if something goes wrong when you’re testing it on other people who volunteer. But overall this would be a really fun career to do.
