Abortion is a healty choice...

I think that abortion should not be made illegal. Abortions are made usually on good judgment, and benefit both the child and parents. The idea of making abortion illegal seems highly discriminating, who are we to say if the child should live or die the mother must make the decision not the law. 54 countries allow abortion, which is about 61 percent of the world population. 97 countries, about 39 percent of the population, have abortion laws that make it illegal according to the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Law and Policy in New York. Today abortions are made for logical reasons not just because someone doesn’t use birth control. If the parents feel they are not able to support a child at this time then the abortion should be made, we do not need to put people in poverty just because they are forced to have a child. Also, mistakes do happen even when a condom is used, people should not have to give birth if they had not intended to. Giving birth may also lead to the woman providing for the child by herself because the man had no intention of sharing a child. Many parents that experience unplanned pregnancy are not ready for a child and usually have to end up putting their child in a foster home or orphanage to give the child the best chance. Pregnancy by rape is very rare but not unheard of, if anything this abortion should be legalized because the man/woman has no choice in taking part in the pregnancy.
Ultimately parents should make the decision to whether abortion is necessary, and abortion should be viewed as the healthy alternative to giving birth.

Shortcut

“See ya sucker!” tom said taking his shortcut to the finish line.

Joel got up covered in mud and continued on the path “Now I’ll never catch him”.

But as he finished Tom could not be seen. Apparently Tom never finished the race.

Tom was found 3 days later 10 km off the race path.

Picture this.....

your vision is blurred by the white flakes that topple endlessly from the dark sky above. The cold air nips at your face and fingers, but the rest of your body feels warm and is anxious with sweat. Smacking your lips together your are able to feel how chapped you lips are and the blood that you spilt the last time a similar situation went wrong. You ignore the sensation, this is no time to back out.Board strapped to your feet you feel confident in your abilities, another day another challenge this is what you live for. Someone starts to shout out numbers counting down from "five". "Four" start your approach. "Three" you tuck and and gain speed as your heart rate increases. "Two" you lock your eyes on your blue target not letting your focus waver. "One" you let all rational thought dwindle away as you take flight . Locked in your body is kept ridged, one small spazm here and it could cost you in bones and blood. Your trip is over quickly as it always is you start the 20 foot decent to earth spinning all the while. The landing pad seems miniscule as you approach it, "fooop" you land on the flat temporarily blinded by the snow that arises from under you. Bent knees and butt almost touching the ground, you taste sweet success as you ride away another day.

The connection I have made between "Angels and Demons" and "Dover Beach" is that the both demonstrate periods of loss of religious faith in the modern world. In "Dover Beach" The Aegean Sea is described as "The Sea of Faith". In the past the tide "Was once, too, at the full, and round the earth's shore", giving faith in god to everyone. Now "Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night of the wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world", as the tide goes down so does the faith that people have. This is comparable to the modern conclave in "Angels and Demons". In the past conclave had been a popular media event around the world, but now very few media stations are covering the story. The lack of media exposure at conclave is a result of the depleting amount of people that go to church and are deeply involved in religion.

Without faith the earth would become "a darkilng plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night". Just like in "Angels and Demons" faith is the only thing that seems to keep our world together. Without faith science would take over our world and no moral value would exist. When the camerlengo has a revelation about where the antimatter is located, he askes for the faith of everyone around him to belive that he has not gone crazy. When he is able to dispose of the antimatter safetly he saves the church and in away the faith of the world by proving that one can talk to god even in todays world.

Clone Wars

What if we were able to fully clone humans? I think that if we were able to clone humans, we would ignore their rights as normal citizens and make them our slaves. If clones were created we would have no choice but to do all the lower class jobs that no one else wants to do. clones could be conditioned as a child for their job, for example for physical labor jobs (such as construction, military soldier, or coal miner) they would wear body suits that have wights on them as kids so they are stronger than average human beings. Also cloning humans would create breakthroughs in medical science. Imagine if you had to get akidney transplat and you were able to get one easily due to a clone donar. People would be able to live a lot longer, but ethically speaking a lot shorter beacause your healthy clone would die instead of you. Scientists would no longer need to use dummies as test subjects, clones would be used instead, risking their lives to save yours.

This all raises the question of if we created clones simply to fufill our lifes have clones live fruitlessly, what would be the value of a human life be? Just beacause you were born from a woman does that give you more right to be alive than a clone? If commiting murder by killing a "person" gets you in jail, slaughtering clones also have the same result. If we can't create clones without a purpose other than for sacrifice for our saftey there is no point in making them. However I do think cloning organs or vital fluids in the human body is a fonominal idea, beacause you are only creating a part of the body that dosent really live until it has a host. This eliminates shamlessly killing sombody, while still helping you rid yourself of the disease, disorder, or whatever fatal illness you have obtained

In conclusion I think cloning is a good thing, but not to the extent of creating human life.

St. Peter's Basilica is on of the holiest sites in Christendom. Taking over 100 years to build it is also one of the largest churches ever built.

the outside Archetecture of the basilica was created by many well know artists and engineers. The building contains a colonade (a long sequence of columns) with over 140 statues of saints on top of it, sculpted by various artists. The dome of St. Peter's was designed by Michealangelo, which not a hemisphere but a parabola to withstand the wieght of the dome. " The Door of Death" is located on the far left of the Bascilica, named not only for its frequent use during funerals but for the story it depicts. On the door the death of Jesus, Mary, Josheph, Abel, and some of the first popes are sculpted into the doors. The "Holy Door" is on the North side of the building and is used for events of celebration such as Jubilee years.

The inside of the bacilica is known for its high ceilings and use of every bit of space to express the finests art of the Renaissance. the Nave has contains a bronze statue of St. Peter as you enter, the statues " foot is smoothed down due to centuries of pilgrims' caresses". Bernini's Baldacchino is a large anopy that protect the papal alter and St. Peter's holy relics. The Crypt holds fragments of old churches built on the site and the tombs of many of the old popes.

Review

The Movie "The Dark Night" is the most thrilling action movies of the year, boasting some of the best actors and special effects. Although it has a running time of nearly 3 hours it is action the whole way through. Heath Ledger plays a very convincing joker, and almost makes it seem like this role could have very well be the thing that did him in. The plot is very fast paced with a lot of car chases and fight scenes, but also has slower more mystery like parts. The camera angles and constant switching of characters make some scenes hard to follow, but this should be expected in an action movie. Also some of the actors mumble when they speak which also makes it hard to hear important parts even if you are listening intensely. Twists in the plot keep you guessing the whole way through. The special effects put in to the movie are very well done and and make the movie that much better. Overall I give this movie a 9 out of 10 because the length of the movie is to long, but the acting jobs, plot, and special effects keep you going.
