'mercy killing' for those who want it.

So Macca and I decided that we wanted to write our english essays here. It was like any test, but we had to write an essay instead, about any of these three subjects: Abortion, Euthanasia, Playing God's role. I chose Euthanasia coz I thought it was easier as all the arguments were in the english book :D (hahha, I can be so lazy sometimes.), but at first I had chosen Playing God's role, as it's an interesting subject to talk about too :). Anyway, here is my essay :D .. hope you like it, understand it, and maybe give an opinion about it and the subject, coz it's becoming one of the many important issues of our days. (if it is not already.) Forgive me if I have too many mistakes in my redaction and ortography :x (it was done in just 90 minutes, and I wrote it down twice!, so consider that xD)...
MACCA, write yours too!!!! :D


'Mercy killing' for those who want it.

_______Nowadays , many cases of euthanasia that have led to a discussion are very common. With today's technology and medical advances, people who are very ill or have been seriously injured have had the chance to live on, when they were supossed to have died. But this life ain't a good one, as it is almost completely artificial. Many of these people then, should have the right to decide whether to continue living or not.
_______Firstly, as suggested above, these patients that are barely living have a poor quality of life. For example, a vegetal patient. All he can do is be lying there on his bed, with a machine living for him, and maybe he's family and one or two friends visiting him once in a while. At least for me, that's not a good life. They suffer a lot as they know they can't do anything and besides, all the physical pain that comes with it. So, as they are the ones who suffer, they should be the ones who decide whether to live or not.
_______And then, all the resources and treatments used on these patients, just to prolong their lives a few days more, are very expensive. It is not that these people don't deserve to have expensive treatments because of their condition, but as they are not patients meant to get better, it is actually not a real benefit for them. And, at the same time, there are lots of other patients with curable diseases that we should take care of and try to give another chance. Therefore the special and expensive should be used mainly on them. It is as bit awful to see it that way, but we all know it is still a fact.
_______On the contrary, people who disagree with giving a patient a 'mercy killing' (euthanasia) say that, for example, to reduce the pain and control it to tolerable levels, you can take some drugs. But isn't that a little bit dependant? I mean, apart from all the machines living for you, you will have also to take some drugs, and, as the sensation they give is addictive, you will start depending on them.
_______And other, typical argument, that people who disagree with this subject give is that we should always try to give chances to live. The chance is given, but you can't call it life when you are, everyday, all day, living by something else living for you, staring to whatever your doctor left you staring at. Or, if you are a coma patient, being there sleeping almost unconsciously.
_______Finally, we have to try to see "life" how these people are seeing it and then think twice, if it is better to continue living or not.

And that's my essay. Exactly how I wrote it for the 'test' (except for two little modifications I did to the words whether and dependant, which I had written as 'wether' and 'depending' instead. Gosh...I HAD to change at least those haha.) Hope you liked it :)

About something else. Today I woke at 7.45 am, like any normal school-day!! Coz I had to give a delayed test of chemistry (that I had delayed since like.... a month ago? o.ô), and so I did it. I think I did it well. I knew pretty much, and well, we don't need to mention the fact that it was almost the same test my whole class had made before, and were given corrected yesterday with all the, obviously, correct answers :D ...just my luck (what a bad movie, btw >.<)
Ok, I dont wanna continue boring you anymore, I've wrote enough, and I'm boring even myself. So goodbye guys, and have a beautiful day wherever you are :**

don't you think I look lovely in the pic? liking my nose? HAHAHHA.

♥ love you guys,
Pau.

what a week!

AAAHH!! it has almost ended! But there's still one more chemistry test tomorrow (and sadly, the next week isn't much lighter either D:) ..really, just want to end it and start the next one (of course, I would prefer holidays to start, but that's too much to ask :p). Because, at least the next week is more about doing some works, writing essays, and no more studying and that kind of stress! ...AHH!! (again haha.. :p)

Ok, so... Halloween is almost here :B . I'm really excited cause my friends and I are going to go out (we are having a little party at some friend's) and have fun, eat, drink, and stuff. And get dressed!! haha, it's going to be so funny, cause each of my friends are going to get dressed according to a theme. For example I will be the cowgirl.. grr! ..yeah, they are going to be very sexy costumes haha. Just for fun. And we'll take photos, and do some halloween stuff and and and!... that.
Hope you readers, have something planned to do too. Because Halloween is to spend the time with some friends and have fun (the way you want it to :)
Yes!, for me it's a very special occasion :D ..and, in case you don't have anything to do, you can always rent an horror movie and have a nice time together with your friends, and eat junk food !

Well, I'm going now. I have to study and understand this chemistry stuff. The percentages of chemical equations and shit.
See yaaa and lots of love :*

Here, some pictures I took a while ago (on summer holidays) and I uploaded them today to my flickr .. take a look at them if you want :D




ponchooooooo

after all, still amazes me

Sometimes I think, how everything has changed since the day we were just kids. They way we used to live, the things we used to do, the things we used to believe in. And how, things we used to think were so different from the things we think now. Things we thought we would never do, that, just imagining us doing them, or the possibilty of someone else doing them, was completely out of the question. Now is questionable, and every day, I discover how nice, how cruel, how simple, and above all, how adaptable we can be. It's amazing. And one of the things I've learned on the road, is that, you can never be so sure about anything. Never say "I will never...", because, there's no such thing.

I've had such a good day yesterday (and part of this day too), you can't imagine how fuckin nice it was (and it will be even more difficult to do so as I'm won't give much details, sorry :B .) But you just need to know it was great. Let's say, I kind of broke the everyday routine, in a very special way, in that time between yesterday and today. I hope it does repeat ♥

Well, this week is going to be hard. We have tests every day (one test each day) and I think some other complicated and long homeworks too, so it's going to be stressful D: ..I'm looking forward just to end it, but in a good condition, trying to do my best.
Now I'm leaving so I can finish my study for tomorrow's test, and also read a bit of the book "El túnel", whose test is on Thursday, and surprisingly, the book is not that bad. In fact, I'm kind of liking it. The way the author makes the main character speaks, it's really captivating...

See ya guys :)
