Tossing Out Babies? Really?

In China, Jining Hospital Affiliated Medical College mortuary staff have been dumping fetuses and infants off at the Guangfu River.

The statement said:

"A total of 21 bodies were found near the Guangfu River."

I think this is pretty depressing. These staff members have been disciplined because of this. I can't believe any human being could do such a thing like this. A few of the staffers were fired and have been detained according to the law. These people deserve whatever they get to them because of this. I think this whole hospital should be checked out because if they do something like this, who knows what other sick things they are doing.

Gastric Bypass Surgery For Young Teens?

Young teens are becoming too obese for their age these days. Some are so bad that they are in the need of Gastric Bypass Surgery, this is depressing. The procedure they are going to recieve is the Lap Band Surgery, where they make your stomach smaller with an adjustable band around the stomach where one can change the size of their stomach depending on how much food they should intake. It is adjustable because it may take a few adjustments before knowing how tight or loose the band should be for the particular patient. I think this is really sad that young teens are in need of a surgery like this. This just goes to show that our youth aren't being fed with healthy foods and probably more with fatty foods, such as fast foods like McDonalds. Parents should see this as a warning for their own kids. Do they really want their kid to become so overweight that they are going to be in need of a gastric bypass surgery at that age? It is not worth it. Kids should be fed in a more healtheir way at their age specifically; it'll make a difference in their lives to come.

A Hospital's Mess Up Gone Wrong...

This lady, Kerry Higuera, was bleeding three months into her pregnancy, went to a hospital in Arizona to see what was going on with her, and this hospital may have caused problems to her baby. This hospital had two people by the same name, Kerry, and they were both the same age. They scheduled her to have a CT scan, and receiving that scan while someone is pregnant can caused problems to your baby. Well, this hospital, after giving her the CT scan, basically said "oops, we weren't supposed to do that."The "other" Kerry was supposed to receive it, not her. I thought this was pretty ridiculous, for a hospital to make THAT bad of a mistake. I mean, now the mother has to worry if her baby is going to have problems because of what this hospital did. I think hospitals, not just this one, should look more into the information about the person before doing anything to them.

Controversy Over Abortion

Senates are already discussing about the topic of abortion. A lot of house representatives don't want that in the new bill, because they don't support the idea and don't support that tax money would be put towards helping women get rid of the kid inside them. Personally, I think they should. If they make the people who want to get an abortion, but don't have the money to pay for it, what are they gonna do? They have no choice but to have the baby. And then the mother is going to request getting money from the government because she can't support herself, and the government is going to lose money anyways. But if a lot of mothers do what I expained, I think over some time the government is going to be losing more money than they hoped.
