Human Genetic Manipulation and the Right to Identity - 0 views

With all the scientific advances in human genetics, it won't be long until we are capable of manipulating genes purely for modification. This violates the right of identity by never giving the individual a chance to decide if they want to leave their traits to nature instead of science.
Supreme Court Must Protect The Individual Right To Marry, Not Limit Individual Rights - 0 views
-
Applied to marriage, assuming what's not true, that marriage between two men offends me, it's not the government's role on any level to protect me from being offended. Whatever one thinks of marriage between two men or two women, the argument that such a union negatively impacts those who aren't gay, or those who blanch at marriage between gay people is not compelling. Here's hoping we don't stop at marriage in expanding individual rights, rights that are natural, and that should exist free of political or voter influence.

Breastfeeding in Public - 1 views
-
Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit. -
It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions? -
http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?

The Great Barrier Reef is dying - The Washington Post - 1 views
-
This summary discusses the killing of the Great Barrier Reef at the hand of humans. Temperature increases are introducing coral reefs to disease and death from lack of algae. The Trump administration has cut funds severely to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Natural Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Talk of the U.S being withdrawn from the Paris climate deal have been discussed as well.
-
If the United States decides to pull out of the Paris climate deal, I believe that we will be to blame for the state our planet is in. Our country is driven by consumerism, causing mothers to follow in our footsteps. If we can step in the right direction toward a clean, green society, we can then start to tackle climate change.

I knew sex trafficking is pretty much everywhere to date, but I had no idea that the United States accounts for 50% of it. This article is so sad to read because of the reality of it. There definitely needs to be a solution to all of this, you would think that with today's technology and such that we could figure out how to stop this once and for all. -
This is a topic that, despite its importance, remains unspoken, which is utterly tragic. It was shocking to read that the United States creates the majority of child pornography seeing as nothing is being done despite having so much power. Although this topic is difficult to discuss due to its ubiquitous and unsettling nature, it needs to be addressed and acted upon in order to be capable of abolishing it. As a country, the United States ought to openly discuss this topic and utilize its unity to end the exploitation of children.
