    In the 1970's Virginia decided to repeal the law of involuntary sterilization. The people who had volunteered prior to 1970 were undedicated and very poor. The victims were never compensated for their time or for what they underwent. Despite the fact that the United States does not widely acknowledge eugenics people are still pushing for the "perfect" human being.

    In order for a scientist in genetic engineering to end sufferings from children and adults they would have to continuously breed out the non-desired trait. Meaning this would take many years of a long and tedious process. In other words if you wanted the odds at 0.01 you would need to breed the trait out through 90 generations. To have a one in one million chance it would take 900 generations. That is not the desired time the scientist were hoping for as well as the population. This book is 136 pages so i did only give an exert from a paragraph that really stuck out to me.

Surveys have been taken from hospitals in Japan and also from deal in Indian Villages. Close to 40% of people who are natives of Pakistan happen to have only one kidney do to the marketing of organs. Digits are increasing when it comes to donation of organs from Pakistan. Non-nationals happen to be the ones who are the receivers of these kidneys. About two-third of transplants are made outside of Pakistan.

    A contentious battle between Catholic groups and the Obama administration has flared in recent days, fueled by the new health-care law and ongoing divisions over access to abortion and birth control. The latest dispute centers on a decision by the Department of Health and Human Services in late September to end funding to the U.S.

    This website shows the laws and facts about the states that limit, allow, and manage certain things with same sex marriage. It also has a map of the U.S. with a key showing what the different states marriage acts and same sex marriage laws are. It then gives a history and overview of same sex marriage, talking about what states still have laws against gay marriage, and how involved legislatures are in this argument.

    This article gives a break down of information on which states are recognizing gay marriage or domestic partnership. It also lists those states that believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman. It does seem as though in this article, slowly but surely, some states are coming around or will be soon.

    This site discusses the states that limit marriage between a man and a woman, and the states that now will issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. It also explains the states that allow spousal rights in a domestic partnership.

  • I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.

      This statement by Mr. Grisanti, who once opposed same sex marriage, brings forth very valid points; other than their sexual preferences - same sex couples live their lives and abide by the same laws that heterosexual couples do. Why then should gay couples be seen as different under the eyes of the law?

    This article talks about how marriage is the foundation of human civilization and the effects of redefining marriage. Forty-one states agree that marriage is between a man and a woman and children need a mother and a father.
  • Jodi Coffman on 31 Aug 13
     
    My personal belief is that marriage is to be between a man and a woman, however, I also believe that is it not my place to judge anyone. Who am I to tell someone who to love? These days marriages that last are rare. If a same sex couple love each other and are happy together, I think they should be able to be married. There are a lot of same sex couple who have lived together as couple for a lot longer than most marriages last.
  • Ana Ortiz Palacios on 31 Aug 13
     
    When I read "The nine justices are considering challenges to state and federal laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The two cases before it provide an important opportunity for Americans to reflect on three questions: What is marriage? Why does it matter for public policy? And what are the consequences of redefining marriage?" it blew my mind a little, because it is challenging every American to think about marriage. Not just as a sex (male or Female) thing but as a whole.

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 31 Aug 13
     
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  • Donette Fincher on 01 Sep 13
     
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 02 Sep 13
     
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  • Destini Boorman on 02 Sep 13
     
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  • Rick Gordon on 02 Sep 13
     
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  • Brandon Charette on 02 Sep 13
     
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.

    We need to work hard to keep our religious freedom. Most religious organizations are required by the Department of Human Services to provide contraceptive coverage in employee health care plans. A lot of government contracts have been lost due to religious organizations refusal to place children with same-sex couples.

    I don't believe that, why should a woman be allowed numerous abortions? These women need to take precautionary measures so they don't end up in the same situation.
  • Alexandria Miles on 31 Aug 13
     
    I believe abortion is a personal freedom. Why is it anybody else's business of what YOU decide what to do with YOUR body? Don't get me wrong, I do not necessarily think that someone should do it, but it is not my choice. It is theirs. It's kind of like gay marriages - if it is not a problem in your everyday life, then don't worry about it! Also, people always protest it until they are put into the situation - it's scary and life changing and some people are just not ready for that kind of responsibility. To be honest, and as bad as this sounds, I rather allow abortions to be done if the individual knows for a fact that they can't take care of the child.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 31 Aug 13
     
    Abortion has always been a tough topic and I still have yet to decide on a solid answer. When you hear of women getting raped and pregnant its hard to tell them that they should have the baby. That would probably be the only case in which I believe abortion would be some what okay. On one side I believe it is a woman's right to do as she pleases with her own body, but at the same time she's not only making a decision for herself but also for what could be a baby. Your stopping a human from having a chance at life. I understand that some women may not be ready to take on such a responsibility but I would rather support adoption over abortion. As far as numerous abortions go, I think that if a women would ever need more than one then she should probably take a sex education class.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 01 Sep 13
     
    The freedom for a women to choose to have an abortion is her personal freedom its should remain her and only hers. This freedom has been allowed to women by the scarifice of thousands of women before us.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    This topic is a difficult one to discuss. I feel as if birth and pregnancy is a miracle and its such a beautiful thing. Women able to be pregnant should be proud and feel blessed as some women aren't as grateful. I feel as if their is no excuse to take an infants life for the mothers fault. The only time i feel that there should be a debate about it is if the woman was raped.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    The right for a women to get an abortion or even several abortions is ultimately one of her personal freedoms. There are many different scenarios that happen that lead to an abortion and who are we to questions anyone about to get one? Its a woman's private decision and freedom and should be left that way.

    This article talks about whether or not terminally ill, suffering people should have the right to choose to end their own life in a painless manner, like we do with animals, or even how we use it with the death penalty in some states. It talks about it as a Global issue. It gives you the history on the issue. It gives you the whole ethical debate on the issue.

    Embryonic stem cell research is the most controversial stem cell research since it involves destroying a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are more beneficial than adult stem cells because they grow quicker and target a wider category of diseases. Creating and then destroying embryos is an non ethical treatment of the value of life.

    In this article, there are many things that are debated when it comes to whether or not a person has the right to take their own life. Like spiritual beliefs to it being the individual right of a person as it falls under human rights. Those are the two many debates when it come down to being for it or making sure it stays illegal.
