Some states push back against stem cell research

This artical how the goverment is funding Stem cell reasearch and is about Abortion and stem cell reasearch. Some people think abortion and embryonic stem cell reasearch is an assault on life in its earliest form Because Fertilized embryos are destroyed when stem cells are extracted for reasearch.

I think states sould be funded in stem cell reserach because when they figuer out how to clone people they will be able to save peoples lifes with the clone. I do oppose on killing the clone for any major organs that would kill the clone. When a clone is born or made it sould have the same rights as a humman dose so they cant be kill so some rich guy can live to be a million years old.

I think they dont have the right to oppose the federal goverment becuse it could start a major mayham with in the U.S. I think the federal goverment should be able to see that this will help us in the long run for skin deseses and any other ones that may occur that we will be able to cure with out killing the clone.

1600 jobs cut from newspaper

The newspaper company is in big trouble they have decided to lay off workers to stay aflot in this economic situation They are going to lay off 1600 by doing this it will save the company 110 million dollars over the next year. They are also decideing to lower wages of many employees some are up to 15%

I think this will hurt the news paper because they are loseing alot of workes that probley help support the newspaper but it might help them becuse of the money they are saveing. also this company will have to work more hours to get the same amount of work done.

I get my news from the TV on any of the news channels and becuase it is easier for me to see in the moringings and nights when im home because all i do is watch the TV.
I wont miss them becuse i never read the news paper because i can either watch the news on the TV or listen to it in the car or on a radeo when i am doing other stuff i need to get done

Technology can make you fat
Segways are a machine for those too lazy to walk. Looking like a cross between a wheelchair and a lawnmower, the Segway is extolled as an ingenious invention. Obesity is a major problem for rich countries. People are eating too much of the wrong food. This processed food is a major technological achievement. It's cheap, tasty, unhealthy and fattening. It is a response to the convenience society, where everything must be packaged and fast.

Technology makes you fat
People sew McDonald’s because they blame them for becomeing fat but MsDonald's says its technologies fault, so fat people ought to sue technology rather than McDonalds But what about the ‘what goes around comes around concept’? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Couldn’t all this technology also make us thinner than we are?

How Technology Has Influenced Worldwide Obesity
Technological change has lowered the cost of calorie intake by making food cheaper and has raised the cost of expending calories by transforming physical exercise from a vocational activity to an off-the-job leisure activity.

Wii Fit Puts the Fun in Fitness
If you're overweight or obese, Wii Fit will tell you so. (Gamers 330 lb. and heavier need not apply, as that's the game's official weight limit.) And wont even be able to use the game for a way to get in shape.But some of the game's messaging seems overly harsh.

Many people blame technology for making them fat.
They say that they spend hours every day watching TV sitting on their butts at home. Couch Potato syndrome if you will. This after spending all day at work on a computer, even coming home and emailing friend sitting at a computer, more sitting causing a larger buttocks they say.

All this technology makes people lazy
The question is, are we using it too much? Is society so firmly founded on technology that in some ways its use is actually hurting usStudies largely point to things such as television and video games as two reasons (the other is diet) for obesity, particularly in children and young adults.

Possible topics

Cloning: Is something thats been happening for a long while siecneists trying to go that one step farther to get to clon hummans and be able to make a exact replica of one self to take there organs to use for them selves if they are to get sick or ill But i think they should make clons just for the fact that they should live insted of being a organ downer. I think eventualy they will rebel and not let them selves be killed

Living will/do not resuscitate: I think that people that are hooked up to a machine should have thier familly decide weather or not they should stay alive. Because it causes they familly great exspne to keep them alive hopeing on day they will come up with a way to make the desise or problem better they should just let them move on to the after life or what ever may come. I also think that every one should make a will as soon as they can right to chose if they qwould want to be hooked up to one of these machines in the first place.

Computers: Computers are an amazing thing that people use to get all sorts of information for fun games and entertain ment but people are sometime not as carful as they should be with the computer many people in this world use the computer to get accses to your personal information that you have put on a site that may not be protected by major fierwalls. Hackers use the computer to get ss# adress and phone#s so when u are on the internet becaful what you decide to post

What compermises were made?

Yestuday febuary 19th the goverment passed the 41 billion dollor buget gap. This caused big dilimas before they decided to pass the bill. They hade to face the fact the parents will receive fewer tax benefits, and state university students will pay 9 percent more in tuition. Which could cause many students to not go or drop out becuase its to expesive to go. say if they are paying 10,000 dollors a year they would now pay 900 more each year to go thats a big difference when u have to pay for it your self.

Schools are going to be hit hard yet agian teachers will have to be cut and and bugets will be cut. They will have to cram more students in one room so they can lessen the classes Arnold is trying his hardest to dig us out of this finaclial crisis and has been there for us in the 2003 crisis so i think he can but it will hurt many people in the prossece so this whole bill is on big compermise because they are compermiseing people to dig the state out of debt.

Selling organs for profit?

Arounf the world people are selling organs illigaly trying to make a profit off it. Do sugens know they are puting illigal organs in or are they just going with it to make money because the operation goes for 150,000 dollars each. People are giveing up hearts livers eyes etc. and these people are usally relitives or just common strangers.

People who sell the orgians are just thier to get money and nothing else. They dont care who they get it from. This is a bad thing becuase the people who do buy dont know if it is healthy or not. they may say it is but you cannot just them.

I think it is a bad idea and that who ever gets a transplant has to get the organ removed by the same doctor or have some way to prove that its from someone who is willing to give there life for that person. The people who got the organs usally got the organs from poor countries like asia and north america places.
