Where's my freedom?

Have we found freedom in this world? Have we found peace? Where i can find my freedom? Who can give it to me?. I ask myself every day this questions because i can not find an answer and will never will. I am not a pesimist person but we have to talk the truth. Have you noticed people fight wars instead of fighting poverty, kids and family dying because they do not have food or even fighting our real threat which is cancer. Are we really fighting our biggest enemy?, My answer is No! I believe in changing our targets and concentrating in what it really matters. Kids going to school hungry because their parents cannot afford food, people dying because they do not have medical insurance to treat their health problems or more homeless people trying to survive. Think again, What we need to fight? Against what?!

I hate to watch people suffering and feeling hopeless because theres no help coming. Lets fight the real battle and confront this situations now before it gets worse. Lets get along and work together as a family. Lets try to find the cure for cancer. Lets send kids home with bags full of food. Lets have our military troops back home. Lets provide instead of take away. Lets be and act as humans not as animals. Lets be in peace amen!

Death with Dignity act controversy

When you hear those words (Death with Dignity) what comes to your mind?, Well for me it was kind of shocking the first time i heard about it on TV. On the news they were explaining about the "right to die" everybody has and at which USA states are currently legal. The first state that became legal was at Oregon in the year of 1994 after a citizen initiated a referendum but it was not implemented until October of 1997 and in November 2008 became legal at Washington. The third state is Montana which became legal on December 2009. But for you that don't have an idea what i'am talking about the Death with Dignity act allows people who are terminally ill with 6 months or less to live to ask their doctors for a lethal medication. First the patient must make 2 verbal requests and 1 written request that is fully witnessed by two people, one of them can't be related to the patient. Then two physicians must evaluate the medical records and condition of the patient to make sure this person indeed has a terminally ill condition and is not depressed and acting voluntarily. Once a request has been made the physicians must wait 48 hours before writing a prescription. Usually the prescription are Nembutal or Seconal. Seconal compared to Nembutal it cost less money. Seconal comes in pill form and patients need to take 100 pills for a lethal dose. The pills are often opened and the powder dispensed in foods like pudding or applesauce... Nembutal is easier to take since it can be swallowed as a liquid; nearly 7 ounces is a lethal dose. The patient must administered the lethal medication themselves. Now that you have a brief information about this Death with Dignity act, will you consider it if you have a terminally ill condition?, Do you think everybody has the final decision to take their own life's if they are suffering more than enjoying life?. I have 2 opinions. First, If iam a religious person i wouldn't do it since my beliefs will be that only God can take our life's and anything else will be considered as a suicide. But my other opinion will be that God gave us "free will" to choose and based on that and also the person situation i think they can choose when to stop their pain and when to stop their suffering. If a family member tells me they want to die with "dignity" and i know they will not live for long i will respect their decision because is their option, is their last option. 

Fight Cancer not Wars!

Before i start i got to give you the definition of cancer so you can have an idea what it is. Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start - for example, cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in basal cells of the skin is called basal cell carcinoma. All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. Many researchers and cancer specialists believe that up to 60% of those deaths can be prevented if Americans adopt healthier lifestyles. Some cancer fighting foods  are considered as: garlic, dark leafy greens, grapes, green tea, tomatoes, blueberries, flax seeds, mushrooms, cruciferous vegetables and whole grains. If i was you i will start eating healthy, have a routine of exercise every week and have regular checkups with your doctor. We got to fight this cancer back because if not its like giving up while you are still alive and giving up hope too. My family from both sides (mom and dad) have suffered from cancer and some of them have passed away like my grandma which i loved like a mother and just about 2 days ago my mother in law passed away too due to this stupid cancer and the rest of them is still fighting every day.I hate see them crying, praying every night for a miracle to happen and going through chemotherapy. I wish someday God can make this cancer disappear and we all don't have to suffer no more. Instead of focusing on wars and sending money to that purpose why not fight cancer and all those funds will go to doctors who are really trying to find a cure, why not!. Estimated new cases and deaths from cancer in the United States in 2012 are: New cases: 1,638,910 (does not include nonmelanoma skin cancers) and Deaths: 577,190. Don't you visualize this as an alarming numbers?, well i do and we most stop it!. Finally, i would like to send my love and blessings to all those families who are suffering cancer or have friends or family with cancer may God be with you!
