Once upon a time...

Sometimes I read one of these articles that I'm using for my long paper (today: Genetically modified crops: environmental and human health concerns) and I feel like I've abandoned my love of science for the field of law. I wonder if I did the right thing or if I would have been happier getting a PhD in genetics or biochem or something. What would I have done with it? I would have been confined to some lab the rest of my life, or teaching. I know science is like anything else - the love of music, art or whatever - you can always have it. You can always pursue it. But I didn't dedicate my life to it. And sometimes I miss that. Science is quantifiable in a way that law often feels vague and ephemeral. They say that there is a "right" answer in the law, but I disagree - too much of law huddles in the gray area in between. Science is dogged in its pursuit of the right answer.
