His vision of the future became a reality to quite a large extent and his predictions for how society would be were very close to true. We surround ourselves with material objects and quite a few people have become self-absorbed and ungrateful. There are people that find important things...

I don’t necessarily believe that this program gives the offender the same type of closure because for the offender this is where they need...

Surrogacy is an arrangement, where a surrogate mother consents to deliver a child for a individual or couple who will become the parent of the child after delivery. Some think that surrogacy is a problem because it compromises the sanctity of marriage, where other think surrogacy is an issue because the surrogacy organizations that people may use have been known to exploit their surrogates. Surrogates are often wanted when maternity is difficult, when pregnancy dangers are too dangerous for the...

It is an inalienable human right recognized in a vast number of international agreements and one of its characteristics is that this right must be enjoyed without discrimination. Although it is alleged that we are currently living in a more equitable society between men and women, I strongly believe that there still is gender bias in health care. This bias exists, first of all, since medicine doctors know less about...
