...cide. Women should have the same rights as males around the world. We might believe that females and male in our country is equal, but how could we make sure that all sexes are equal? If I had a lot of money most of it would be donated to foundation which supports reinforcement of the equality of rights between people of all ages, sex, race, and ethnic origin. Washington Post: November 12, 1997 Is killing babies considered a crime? Some people may argue that when a baby is born they have no sense of feeling and can be murdered if their parents consider the baby as a burden in their family which is different from killing a grown son or daughter, I think that killing babies is practically the same as killing a grown man because babies is a living body having the basic elements of a human being including feelings. If that isn’t enough, how can the parent tell that their son or daughter will be a burden to them in the future? I strongly support the fact that everyone should get a chance to live a long life regardless of their conditions. Yahoo News: June 7, 2000 Genetic discrimination is probably uncommon because the genetic makeups of individuals are concealed from the human eye, but it could be an issue we have to resolve in the future due to the variety of genetic experiment the Celera Genomics Inc. for example performs to identify an individual’s genetic makeup.

Eugenics can be considered positive and negative because first breeding specific people will mean a better more advanced society, and second it will cause a devastating amount of death and grief to people who were considered incompetent to live. Overall, I think it is a good idea but without the sterilizing, assassination, and suffering of the inferior race it will be better. Some where: December 1, 2004 In this article a mental health survey was carried out by The Ministry of Health’s Like Minds, Like Mine. They have found out that people with a mental illness suffer discrimination. Mentally ill people may be considered a threat by many people but they are not! These people are similar to us except they have or experience depression and other forms of mental illness. I fear that someday these people who are mentally ill will be thrown away or exterminated as they are considered both inferior and useless. Everyone should be treated the same even if they have a mental illness or had them in the past. _____: April 24, 2004 Medical technology has been helping us from the first time we used it but it has caused a significant amount of discrimination such abuse by GPs for the mentally ill.
