Abortion (no catchy titles this time)

Upon looking at their websites, both the NARAL and the NRA did a well rounded job of preseneting the information about their side of the abortion debate. NARAL wins the best website for bringing up the social  and legal problems surronding abortion. They try to remind people about the need for abortion with stories of certian women lining the page. The NRA did a better job of using scare tactics on their website. The most shocking part of the website was the description of abortion methods. The later into a pregnancy a woman is, the more greusome the procedures get. Once a fetus is big enough the doctor needs to pull off the limbs, and then crush the skull with forceps in order to then pull out the fetus. Both websites get across the viewpoint but the NRA was more agressive and visually descriptive. This website influened me to agree with bans on abortions past certian stages of pregnancy.

The Red Market: Compelling the Quest (book post 1)

Although from the ceepy skeleton with a red tag and catch phrase " On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers." This macabre book did not turn me away. As a kid I knew death when I was seven. I knew death when in a church my family was in the pews, and the ghostly pale and manicured face of my grandpa was no longer breathing, but in a slumber I was told he would not awaken from. The thought probably didn't really register with me until at his grave, the hole in the ground, and the music of my cousnin's violin . I couldn't help but forget everything. Until I had witnessed death, I didn't really belive that people around me could instantly vanish out of my life.
Maybe it was the reruns of fear factor, my facination with urban legends, or the fact that we are constantly reminded of it. But for a while it seemed that deaths had followed me everywhere. No more I would see the grandma, grandpa, great aunt, cousin, that I had known. The dramatic that I was, I made sure we buried each of our hampsters in a shoe box . (side note; all of them had Jack in their name; Jack- o- lantern, blackjack, and flapjack). Yes there was no life in them but there was still "them". The "it" of them is somewhere in this earth/
For Scott Carney his quest seems as though he wants to bring justice to death, and investigate exactly how different people, cultures, and corporations treat death, and somehow profit off of it. As any slightly educated person knows, economics is most often based on supply and demand. When the life, and soul is gone some respect it , and others would rather have it be handled with their beliefs ( hence a living will/ dying requests). As I read on the questions flowing in my mind are what will I do when I die? or who will do what to me? For some of the people in the book they must go to extremes to get what they need to survive, for some that's giving up an organ, and for some its buying one.

Reformed Nazi....?

... Somehow I'm not convinced. After logging on to Yahoo! to check my e-mail I took a glance at some of the headlines for today and came across one incredibly shocking to me, Ex- Skinhead's Transformation. At first, seeing as it IS Halloween I thought it was probably cover up, false news, or "movie magic"; but no. This incredible transformation was the result of hours of agonizing laser tattoo removal procedures which from what I've seen on television and heard from some acquaintances, is a major pain in the arse. Aside from that I have to highly question how someone with such values could possibly turn to soemone head of an organization meant to be against discrimination. Yes, this is a little dial-emma (pun intended).

Poll in sidebar, what do you think? Would you pay for tatoo removal surgery for someone who had the complete opposite views as you?

Comment down below- what values do you think support his side, or not?

I am not death qualified.

Although I consider myself to look at both sides , as no case of capital punishment is black or white, there is a gray area between that holds me back - the brain. For, when can one truly put on the blindfold of justice, holding the scales of someone's life or death on either side? No matter what religion one follows there seems to be something compelling me to make decisons based on a moral sense of right or wrong. However, I cannot fully see that at our age when the hypothalmus is not developed. of course there is that fact to take into consideration but there is also the fact that we all have BIAS; you cannot deny it. From the time one is born, most are taught certian things that are bad, or good, based on image, sociey and the opinions of others that try to persuade us every day to make decisons. there is no way, that i can be objective as a lawyer under the pressure of acting either as zeus or hades, the grimm reaper or the little star that is a guardian. For i have been up late before, not quite sure what I'm doing, or what I'm supposed to do and spend much time pondering the overall question of "what should I do?"
 I would never become Wournos, certain perssures, and lack of hope certianly seem to have been left out of consideration in making a decison. Wourns was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, depression (most likley manic), physcosis, a very low IQ: 81, suicidal thoughts, and anti- social peronality disorder. She was not in any state to have given testimony, perhaps she wanted to go to jail just so that she could be alone, not raped, not having to steal and kill for money. She clearly has too many mental issuses to be a funcitional person, but does that mean that she should be killed for a chemical disorder, and s#!tty childhood she could't choose?- I would have a hard time saying she does. Alas, maybe Eileen got her wish, maybe she wanted to live a life out in prison, maybe she wanted to be put to death? One can only guess (or you could watch the movie as Hollywood publicised the trial in books, magazines, T.V. "exclusives" and the last and final nail on the coffin.... A hollywood lifetime quality - esqe retelling of Wuorno's life after she had died called Monster.)  Similar to Frankenstein, how are we supposed to reconcile the facts that this "monster" or "creation" might not have felt she had a life to begin with.
