Nietzsche On Mummies
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Why, but why is everyone so opinionated about practically everything to do with pregnancy and child rearing? Everything is treated like a binary decision - right or wrong, no middle ground. The Breast-milk Nazis vs The Formula Fascists, while the Controlled Crying Brigade will not even talk to the Instant Attention Army! You risk grievous bodily harm if you offer your baby a pacifier around the wrong crowd, not to mention the Cesarean Vs Natural births war... Well, I do recall I almost met my maker when one fateful Sunday night, I declared to a roomful of mummies that I was going for an elective C-section, one

    I was deeply grieved to read your article “Abortion Without Apology: A Prescription for Getting the Pro-Choice Groove Back” in your magazine. It breaks my heart that you take a stand for choice while avoiding the topic of other choices. Contraceptives were left unmentioned, adoption was neglected, and there was an extreme emphasis on women that are impregnated due to incest or rape. These women account for less than 1% of abortions. You say you are pro-choice. What choice did those aborted children have? If a person is proclaimed dead when their heart stops, why is it they are not proclaimed alive when it starts? Abortion should not be an option. There are many alternatives leading up to this point and there continue to be options that remain…

I hope it doesn’t happen to another woman. We have the right to do what we will with our bodies and the state or hospital can’t force us to anything. I hope I covered everything in my paper. My paper is a bioethical and legal I believe. Thank…

    Essay On Mummification

    • 518 Words

    What is mummification? Mummification is designed to dry or shrivel up a dead body which turns into a mummy. This process is found in Egypt. It started about 2600 B.C., during the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties. Why, because mummification helps “preserve the remains of their ancestors” (“BURIAL PRACTICES, AFTERLIFE, & MUMMIES” 1). The way Egyptians handled the death of bodies were done in a very significant way. The bodies were placed in the tombs with their bodies straightened, but lying on their left side. At first, Egypt buried the bodies directly in the ground in a dry spot, curled up with simple pots or other goods.…

    Pro Life Vs Pro Choice

    • 2228 Words

    Throughout history, abortion has always had a controversial presence within the United States. The Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade determined the future of abortions and was a victory for women’s rights. The court ruled in a 7-2 majority that an abortion during the first two trimesters of a woman’s pregnancy was legal, due to the right of privacy given by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Since then, american citizens have been forced to classify themselves as “pro-choice” or “pro-life”. The controversial nature of this behavior causes many arguments and disagreements between people, and especially between politicians. In the 21st century, the growing diversity of America has brought more attention to the debate on whether abortion is…

    The second half of this post brings up a very popular discussion topic in society today. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and not everyone is going to think the same way. The way we were raised, where we live, how educated we are, etc. is all related to how we see the world around us. This refers to our particular topic of study in this class; cultural anthropology. Different point of views allow us to see information from all sides, whether we choose to try and listen, is up to us. I agree with Jordan on the topic of abortion. In some cases, such as rape, I feel a woman should be able to decide for herself if she wants to have that child. However, waiting until the third trimester of pregnancy…

Because of our human nature, we want to be able to choose everything, even our consequences, despite our action. Sometimes a person getting what they desire is a good thing, but it can also be bad. There are many choices on debate. and one of them is a mother’s choice to keep or kill her baby. Seemingly linked to that, is the choice to be pregnant at all. Although the rampant use of birth control among young women has caused uproar in society because of its relation to abortion and religious and health reasons, it is important to know exactly what kind of birth control is being discussed, how it works, and why people are against it. Not all forms of birth control are abortion, but that…
