The House of the Scorpion- Deep Question
On page 106, in the novel, The House of the Scorpion, Mr. Alacran explains that his father, El Viejo, believes that implants are immoral. El Viejo believes that God put him on earth for a certain number of years and he mustn't ask for more. Do you agree with El Viejo? If you had the choice to extend your life and live to be 143 years old like El Patron, would you do it? Why or why not?

I don't think I would want to live 143 years. I think it would get really lonely since everyone you grew up with would certainly die before you. I could also not extend my life if it meant shortening someone else's life.
