FGM: Female Genital Mutilation
... that believe enough in something to base their entire
life around it, there is nothing you can do or say that will get them to change;
it would be like talking to a wall. They will only change when the people
themselves that live by these traditions get fed up with all the side-effects
caused by the practice of FGM. It is every person and community's right to
decide for themselves, without the intervention of outsiders, to decide to do
whatever they want to do to their bodies and minds.
I know, "these women that are being circumcised, aren't freely deciding
on this to be done to them, they don't know any better, they've been

All of us no matter how good we take care of ourselves, exercise, or eat our vegetables, are going to die. We cannot escape this.

Reversing The Aging Process, Should We?
... lifetimes (Kruger). Mankind is using the discovery of DNA as an opportunity
to play G-d by changing the aging process. Man has a natural tendency to play
the role of G-d. Man has a an inherent need to affect others, be it through the
vises of war, power, manipulation or politics. However man’s natural tendency to
play G-d has reached it’s final manifestation. By attempting to slow down the
aging process man is using himself as the ultimate canvas, to play the role of
the omnipotent.
Research into the process of aging began in 1961(Rose, Technology Review:64).
Since then a great deal of time, money and effort have been appropriated into

... inserting a thin flexible tube through the woman's vagina and cervix, into the early placenta. A small sample of chorionic villi is removed and taken for laboratory testing.

The Influence Of Ecstasy On The Youth
... of class or ethnic background. Raves are non-elitist, and are primarily for the working class. This makes Raves quit different from all other postmodern sub-cultures.

A Definitive Argument On Euthanasia
... have their merit, but Rachel’s article is a much more effective argument than McCurdy’s article, due to the fact that he supports his allegations with facts and ethical statements, and his use of ethos, logos, and pathos give his argument strength and ethical merit.
One of the biggest debates surrounding active euthanasia is its moral ethics. Doctors feel that “the intentional termination of the life of one human being by another—mercy killing—is contrary to that which the medical professions stands…” (Rachel, 473) and to commit such an act would be sacrilegious. However, as Rachel points out, a strong case can be made against this philosophy. In an example g ...

Experts say parents can best help a child though the grieving
process by waiting until the child is ready to talk about the loss.
Children can often pick of visual clues from they parents.
*** Stages of grief .***
Young children may not see death as “real." This is conformed by
