Many years ago，when I was working as a volunteer(志愿者)at a hospital，I got to know a little girl named Lisa．The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying．The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked．The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血)from her five-year-old brother．The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体)to fight the illness．

The doctor talked to me little boy about what they planned to do，and asked him if he would be willing(愿意的)to give his blood to his sister．I saw him hesitate(迟疑)for a moment．He took a deep breath and said，“Yes，I’ll do it if it can save Lisa．”

As the transfusion was going on，the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister．He 1ooked at her and smiled all the time．When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister’s face，his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid．He 1ooked up at the doctor and asked，“Will I start to die now?”

Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.

So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.

Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.

So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.

And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.
