Anna Fitzgerald's Case

Today I listened to Anna Fitzgerald's case; she wants to be medically emancipated from her parents. Everyone thought that Anna wanted this because she wanted to be in control of her body until she announced that Kate, her sister whom has APL, is the one who asked her to do this. I am ruling in Anna's favor because I think that no child should have to be punished like hat, to have to give up what makes them happiest in life just to try and save a sibling. I understand that Sara wants to do everything she can to save Kate's life because I would give anything to have my daughter here today, although she is putting Anna's life in danger. I also understand that Campbell chose to represent Anna because he doesn't have control over his body and he thinks that she should if she has the choice.

Designer Babies

I think that "designer babies" is unnatural way to have a child. I think that the child will not live a normal life if it has to give its sibling whatever it needs; the child will be responsible for his/her sibling's life. That is a very large responsibility for anyone let alone a baby. I do understand why some parents would agree with this; if they were in their shoes and one of their children was dying they would do anything they could do too. Some parents on the other hand do not agree with this because they think it is basically torturing the baby and the baby will not have any control over its life.

The Holocaust Happened

If someone walked up to me and said " The holocaust never happened, its a joke" I would tell them that there is no possible way that they are correct. There is too much evidence left for anyone to be able to believe that the Holocaust never happened. There are people who lived in concentration camps that are still alive today. There are concentration camps still standing today. There are pictures that prove how terrible the Holocaust was to Jews and other prisoners. Any person that says or even thinks this must be antisemitic and just simply wants to disrespect the history.

Holocaust, war, and human life

During the Holocaust about six million people died. They were murdered because of their race, sexual orientation, and mental or physical disabilities. The Nazi's did not like these people because they were different. In war we fight because of our differences, we dislike people because of their religion. In human life everyday people are tortured and murdered because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, physical appearance, and just because they are different. Why are these people constantly shamed because they are different? What makes people think that just because they don't believe in the same stuff as someone else that it is okay to kill them? There are little Hitlers all over the world, running around tormenting people who are different all the time but no one knows why.

The moment I realized my mom is a good person

A moment that made me see that my mom is a good person is when my grandma's dog got cut by something sharp. We were sitting inside at my grandma's house and we heard the dog weeping at the door. My mom went down to let him in and noticed his rear had been bleeding and examined it. She sent me to tell my grandma what had happened and that she was bringing the dog to the vet. She took care of him until he was fully recovered.

My to Kill A Mockingbird Experience

If I were to transfer the story of Scout and her adventures I would have to change the time and place. I would also have to change the things they do, like sneaking around Boo Radley's house. For me it would be more like sneaking into the woods with my friends to explore a new hiding place. The curiosity that the children have would stay the same. I think that I would have been friends with all of these children as a child because we have many of the same interests.

Instructions for Living a Life

"Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it."- Mary Oliver

I think this quote is saying what you have to do in order to live a proper life through the eyes of Mary Oliver. Like she thinks you have to pay attention to everything around you and to every detail of your life. She also thinks that you have to be astonished. Tell about your life and make everyone listen to your story that way you are never forgotten, even after you have died.
