Paying for Kidneys

http://www.medpagetoday.com/Nephrology/KidneyTransplantation/42483
This article is talking about the issues of paying living donors for their kidneys
which would help lower the number of end stage renal disease. If people are okay with this many
lives will be saved. The ethical issues is that poor family might feel implied to give their liver away so they can support their family. In my opinion it should be okay because the last decision is on you. Not only are you getting money for you needs but your saving a life which is two advantages.

This article is talking about the new gadget that google has been creating which is the Google Glasses. Indeed smart phones have almost cleared out the use of cameras and videos. But these glasses will clear out the use of smatphones too. Its a handfree computer right on your forehead.This invention will be completely popular but the concern is that it will make it easy to record people an ect.   It has already been banned in some places. Personally i think is an awesome object. But it will increase the rate of obesity in our nation and can cause many issues because of recording.

You'd Be surprised how many people who are fine think theres something wrong with them.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/oct/11/healthcare-anxiety-doctors-non-beneficial-treatments

In this article a man came to his doctor to get a Ct scan due to the fact that he was having bad headaches and thought he had a brain clot. As the doctor looked through history nothing could be wrong with this man. But the man kept insisting and the doctor was confused on what to do.To either tell him to just keep a positive mind or give the scan and increase his chance with radiation. The doctor refused him which ended up being fired from this patient. The reason why this is such a problem is because alot of people are thinking there is somthing wrong with them when there isnt which means that all these people have server anxiety.

Homework Blog

10/8/13

In class today we had a discussion about gay marriage. But it was twisted up because this was the second time the topic was brought up and this time we had to think about it in the opposite belief that we had.With saying that I was against gay marriage because it states in the bible that a man and a women belong together not man and man nor women and women. Also it doesn't biological make sense that a man and man or a women and women come together. Because the prime purpose of our being is to reproduce.By saying that the reason why this topic was so hard for me to think about the other side was because I was brought up in a strict christian family and because of that it has played a huge role in my life which I have chosen, not pressured into, to practice. And by agreeing to it it bothered me that I had to go against something I believe in.  But it also states in the bible that as humans we have no right to judge but TRY to a correct mans way. If that's not possible the rest is in Gods hands. Personally to me I don't think their are strategists to think about the other side but to be open and sensible to the other persons views and try to attest understand it even if you don't believe in it.

Embryos are not "life forms"

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2010/05/embryos-are-not-life-forms-south-korea-court-rules/1#.UlHy4FCTi3Y

The article " Embryos are not "life forms" is a article about South Korea's court ruling that fertility embryos are not life forms. Which means that embryos that have been used or are used to medical research is no harm and even throwing it out after using it for months are years isnt much of a problem because it isnt a human. The main reason why this was passed way because the Koreans want to do research its not to harm but it expand their knowledge. To
