I am for organ donation because it could help save someone life. People are suffering and would be helpful to get an organ transplant. If those organs work, it's a great use.

I agree with organ donation because you're making a difference. Donating organs can save many life's. For example one persons can save almost 8 lives with their organs. Many people are suffering and dying because they need new organs which is why people donate to help people live better and longer.

I am against drug testing on animals because they're not quiet the same as human beings. For example, the drug on the unmask may not work on a human being and can have side effects because they're not 100% sure that I'll work on human beings

I am against drug testing on animals because they're not exactly the same as a human. The drug may not work and can determine side effects. However, animals and humans are some what alike because they both feel, think, behave, and experience pain. They should receive the same respect as for a human. Also, its very painful for animals once being tested and can last for days.

I am for assisted suicide because people should make their decision of wanting to end their life. However, their should be guidelines to follow in order for you to do that for example, being really sick.

I disagree with assisted suicide because ending your life is a wrong decision. If you're having problems, for example issues with family/friends, or health conditions, you can go to a therapy and get help. However, if you have a type of disease and you're technically suffering and at the point where you're going to die, I believe you can make a decision whether you want to end your life.

I am against for abortion because you're technically killing a human being. If you have kid deal with it, if not at least put it for adoption instead of killing it.

I am For it. Well, testing needs to start somewhere, but i think that if they were tested for curing diseases, like on mice’s, I think that would be ok and their DNA is closest to ours it would help scientist get better results. Plus, they have short life span and dozens of them out there. I also think that with today's technologies it advances us with into more depth on research. Also, because of testing on animal we have somewhat understanding and meds to help us, scientists are doing whats needs to be done and in the future with more advance tech we could have cures for diseases and finally, end animal testing.

I am against animal drug testing is inhumane to the test subjects, however, for a product to be distributed on the market, it should be tested to ensure safety for the user. But instead of animal testing there are other alternatives (using adult stem cells) to conduct testing that will be more effective and accurate.

I am against abortion because the child being rid of had no choice.

I do not agree with abortion because the embryo is technically already alive and it has been proven by doctors,from the moment it has life it is already a human being.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm personally for assisted suicide. I think people who are terminally ill should have the right to end their life in the most suitable way by either having a lethal injection from a physician or having their physician prescribing them a lethal overdoes medication. I believe people that are sick and have no way of recovering because their illness can't be curable grow tired each day. They have to live everyday suffering and in excruciating pain, they can't do what they were capable of doing before they became sick. I also believe families should be supportive and considerate about the persons choice of wanting to end their life, although it'd be difficult to accept that. No person wants to live their life in pain and agony; from various doctors appointments, to having to take numerous amounts meds every single day just to keep them alive and not being able to do the things that they want to do because their illness is holding all of that back, is miserable

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with using animals for drug testing or any other type of test because I found it very gruesome and a bit horrifying but I also do understand that it is necessary so we can have cures and so we know that the things we use every day are safe.

I'm pro choice for abortions under certain circumstances. Women should have the right to do what they want to their bodies. But I also believe that if you have no intentions of becoming pregnant, for example if you're a teenager you probably shouldn't be having sex if you can't do it safely. People say it's "murder" but within the first two weeks of pregnancy, it's not even an organism yet.

I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want with their life which is why I'm for assisted suicide.

# data[].attributes.body
I am for paying money for organ donations because there will be more people willing to donate so that means more people would get the extra organ they are needing in order to live.

I am not against transgender reasons why; people shouldn’t have to be forced to be what they were born to be especially if they do not feel comfortable in who they are. Everyone has the right to change to what they want to be. If parents didn’t care if it was going to be a boy or girl when they were pregnant then why care now it doesn’t make them any different then others and they shouldn’t get treated any less. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own body and love their self’s as who they want to be and if they choose to be a guy being a girl or the other way around then so be it.

I agree that it is alright to do this if the patient is barely alive and is just being able the be alive by being hooked up to a machine and never really able to leave that bed, or if they have a disease that will no matter what they do end their life and if they are in a state of forever pain.

I am for allowing abortions to be made regarding the situation. Yes, technically there is already a human being there but it's only fair enough for the mother to decide if she wants to keep it along with the father. Just like the father can leave and forget about both the mother and the child because he made a mistake, women should be able to take that decision as well. If they illegalize abortions, it won't stop them from happening, they just won't be done safely. Also being obligated to have the baby won't assure he'll have a good life, when he/she weren't wanted in the first place.

I am for assisted suicide because I do believe humans have the right to choose how they want to die and when they want to die. I believe that this option should only be for the ones that are really sick , and are having to feel pain that is no need to feel. I am for this because any human being should be able to die in piece and shouldn't be feeling the loss of losing them self  in their sickness everyday. I also believe that family members should be supported because at the end of day they're not feeling what the person is feeling everyday, they won't feel what it's like to wake up everyday in pain or waking up everyday losing something of themselves.

I am both sided on abortion in some situations I’m for it and in others I’m against abortion. If it is a rape situation then I would be for it because “sexual abuse” is not something that someone will get over in a blink of an eye, yeah your killing a human being and that’s obviously not right and something you shouldn’t do but if you were in situations like “rape/sexual abuse”and that caused you a pregnancy then I would understand why you would want to have an abortion no one wants to be pregnant that way I wouldn’t want to. Other than this I’m against it if you knew what you were doing and you got pregnant and decided to get abortion just because you want the easy way out then that’s just not right. There’s so many married couples or just women who want to be parents and can not have any kids that would take care of that baby just fine so instead of getting abortion think of maybe how many parents there are who would love a child.
