Medically Emancipated from the parents
If I was Judge DeSalvo I would rule in Anna's favor (the same as the book). I think Anna should have the right to use her body to help Kate if she wants to, but if she doesn't want to then she can say that she doesn't want to. Anna has her own life that she needs to live. Sara had a hard time being a mother separated from being a lawyer, she was trying to get Anna to donate her kidney to help save Kate but then she was trying to support Anna as much as she could. I think Campbell is a good person to help Anna with her medical decisions because they have grown closer to each other throughout the case. At first Campbell was doing it for the publicity but then he really wanted to help Anna in her situation.

"Designer" Babies
The future is now developing more technology that can help determine if a baby will have a certain disease, and parents can also genetically enhance other babies so they can help save their other child that has the disease. Now, that's what some parents are doing. They originally have a child and their child is going to have a disease, and a way to save their child they can genetically make up another child to save their first child. As both of the children are growing up the second child has to help the first child in a way for a long time because they have a disease.

Holocaust Denial
If someone told me that the holocaust did not happen then I would try to explain to them that it did happen. First I would show them some of the history of it and tell them how it affected the world, they need to know the truth of it all. If they still refuse the history of all of the holocaust then I would tell them to look at Auschwitz, there was large camps there and some are still there. The death and concentration camps were where millions and millions of jews and many others were killed.

The holocaust
I think that the holocaust was a major event that had to happen in history because then people can now see how dangerous discriminating people can be. But why do things have to go that far for people to see that everybody is the same and has equal rights. The same ideas that happened in the holocaust are still happening today. Different kinds of people are still being discriminated and pushed away because of how they're, how they live and what kind of things they do and believe.

The Adventures of Scout, Jem and Dill
I think I would be friends with scout as a child if she lived in my neighborhood. She is very smart and cares about others. I think we would be good friends and get along. I think Jem and I could possibly be friends, he is always coming up with different schemes to do and is very adventurous. I think I would tag along and see what he would be up to. He also is very protective of his little sister and tries to stay on his fathers good side. Dill has a very active imagination, it would be fun playing along with him. Scout and Jem's neighborhood isn't like mine at all.

Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.
Going through different things in life you should pay attention to all of the details. The one's that might help you in life and the one's that you should stay away from. Then you should interpret it in a way that you understand it and then be amazed on what you have accomplished. Then you should be able to share your experiences and insights to the world.

Constitutional Amendment
If I had to add a new amendment to the constitution I would say that the really good teachers and are great at their job should get a larger salary and be recognized for their achievements. I know I had some great teachers and made class fun, for example Ms. McGuyrt. She is a tremendous teacher and should be recognized for her work she is doing in students lives. There are a lot of good teachers in schools who deserve more then what they are getting.

If I could believe again.
If I could still believe in something from my childhood, I would still believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. Every Christmas and Easter I would be so excited. I thought I was so special because I would get early presents and letters from Santa.

Internal Beauty and External Appearance
There are lots of people in the world who act really big on the outside but when it comes down to it they are a different person on the inside. However then there are some other people who act really little on the outside but are big on the inside and haven't shown their real potential of what they can do. In some situations I think physical appearances can sometimes relate to personality but then you can be wrong about them, you never judge a book by it's cover. If my internal beauty was directly related to my external appearance then i think sometimes i can be big on the outside and little on the inside. But then other times i think i can be little on the outside but then big on the inside.

Saver or Spender?
I believe that there is a mixed variety of people in my generation that save and spend. A lot of people spend almost all of their money once they get it, and that may be okay for now because we don't have to worry about saving a lot and paying bills. However, then there is people who save their money and don't waste it once they get it. In this article, it stated a lot of research that scientists did to show people that instant gratification isn't really worth it.
