Vaccines are injection into the fatty tissue of the body, they have the same antigens as if it was the actually disease. Though the antigens that are injected are not as strong as the actually disease. The objective is to produce antigens to protect immune system. The body will then attack the antigens to produce antibodies to fight against the real disease if it presents itself.

This article discusses the importance of vaccinations. They are used to prevent disease and death. If children are not vaccinated the public is more susceptible to diseases, which could lead to outbreak of diseases that were once controlled.

Many insurance do not cover midwife care in their policies.Midwife access is also limited in hospitals and many states limit the access and privileges of midwives. With healthcare costs on the rise, many families are looking at midwifery which is a far less expensive option than that of an OB. In other countries midwives do a majority of the births and maternity care which results in a fraction of the US costs.

Here's an interesting article about a study that found that births assisted by midwifes can help lower healthcare costs. It makes sense, since it would be more expensive to deliver a baby in a hospital. http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/PressRelease/pressReleaseId-107254.html

Every person who uses insulin to manage diabetes wants what they don't have. They want a replacement for their malfunctioning pancreas. Technology is advancing rapidly, parents can now monitor their child's blood pressure while at school.Now the real question is if this will be at least somewhat affordable.

Our President has used his authority to order wiretaps on many citizens, while ignoring the public outcry.

This red sticker will let others know that this person was throwing away good food. This is a good way to try and stop us from throwing away so much good food.

Gay marriage talks about both legal issues and social argument issues. Legal argument grab more attention because they involve civil and equal rights. Gay marriage should respected, no matter if people don't like the fact of gay marriage. People believe that gay marriage is harmful, but there is no prove. There are good reasons to legalized gay marriage because it would benefit us all.

There is obviously more benefits for gay couples to be legally married. I think everyone should be happy and that there should be no law to say otherwise. If gay couples are allowed to get married not nly does it help them but also for the people around them.

This article brings up a good point, should we allow an act of terrorism to force us to give up our own rights. If someone points a gun at someone on the street their first instinct is to protect themselves, so they will do anything. They will give up their hard earned money, their possessions, even their dignity by begging for mercy.
