assisted suicide

Assisted suicide is not even suicide at all because you are already going to die and if someone is helping you die, it cannot be called suicide it would be called murder. Although assisted suicide should be up to the patient, but it is still murder they need to pay for their own drugs and do it themselves, not have someone else do it and still be alive so that they suffer the consequences.

stem cell research

Stem cell research can very much so be a great thing in the long run it could make and/or break lives. It is wrong to do what they are proposing with the detroying of all these embryos and killing so many human beings for the sake of other ones. So, morally it is wrong. We have already accepted the yuse of so called 'spare' embryos in some research the question is whether or not should it be continued? The embryo storage is under strict watch by the government however it is under the control of the scientists who must only report tothe government once a year. i don't think that stem cell research on humans is morallyright and the scientist who are doing should find another way. Yes it may help but it is obliterating the many lives that would otherwise be here today.

Best Christmas

The best christmas ever for me was a few years ago. My uncle was badly burned while cooking mushrooms and was staying at our house while he was in recovery and on christmas morning all of my family was there and we had the best christmas ever. My favorite holiday season was also a few years ago when we got like 6 inches of snow in Keizer, it was amazing everywhere was white, icicles were hanging off of the cars which about two inches of ice covering them. All of us neighborhood kids were outside the whole time playing in the snow and we were out of school for about two weeks just because of the snow.

smoking

Smoking is bad for people no doubt, however, people who don't smoke will never understand how hard it is to stop once a person has an addiction. Yes smoking may kill millions of people each year, but that will not make people stop doing it. Smoking is a bad habit don't get me wrong but it is your choice whether or not you want to smoke. We need to stop putting people down for the choices they decide to make even if they are the wrong ones. Cigarettes should not be banned because they make people who don't smoke angry, and another thing, if cigarettes were banned, the crime rate would go WAY up people would have to go behind uncle Sam's back just to fill our nicotine needs.  Marijuana, on the other hand, should be legalized because the world would be a much better place. It brings people together, makes them happier and things much more peaceful so GIVE IT A CHANCE PEOPLE!

700 mile fence pt.2

In the near future, this will be horrible for the countries economy because we will be another 2 BILLION dollars in debt. However, in the long run it will be helpful because we will have less mouths to feed if you know what I mean. we will have more money to sped on getting us out of the middle east. The less immigrants, the less people we have to take care of, paying there health care paying for there food and everything. So if we keep the immigrantsout of America, and let them STAY in their own Country. if they want to join our society, they need to ask and not just comee in like it is their own. Entering our territory is just like stealing. So the fence will be both good and bad for our economy.

700 mile fence

Personally I think think that it is rather stupid that they put up a massive fence to keep other people from entering and leaving a so called free country. If this was a free country, the US wouldn't have a problem with immigration mainly because it would not be illegal enter the country. If we really were a free country we would let anyone be free to come and go as they please. Morally it is not right, and the construction of it should be put to a hault and the materials be used for something that actually makes sense and helps the country.
