School bullies never seem to stop! Sometimes you have to "hit
‘em where it hurts" as we say!
So you have made a dent in the bullying at your school! Congrats.
But, you still have a hard core of 5-10% of the bullies that you
are trying to reach.

Cloning is
the process of creating an exact copy of the original, and
recently, 'cloning' refers to the replication of living humans

replacing it with the nucleus from a cell of the organism to be
cloned.

While the death
penalty has been utilized for centuries, we continue to
debate the morality and efficacy of this punishment. Many people
argue that the death penalty acts as a deterrent to potential
murderers, terrorists, and other violent criminals. However,
others find the death penalty completely incompatible with the
ethical standards of modern civilization. Although some states
have since outlawed the practice, the US remains one of few
democracies to maintain the capital punishment.

Another common viewpoint is a more blended pragmatist view,

By Punkerslut
Euthanasia has often been referred to as a "mercy killing,"
ending another's life to prevent them from suffering any more of
life's ills. But more than that, it has always been held as a
sad good-bye, providing material for haunting nightmares, the
act of the killing itself just as necessary as death is to life.

with little hope, will forever be remembered. When the darkness

reads: "Antidepressant drugs quadruple risk of suicides,
research shows".
Sigh
I mean, c'mon. isn't the whole reason we take anti-depressant
drugs centered around NOT wanting to give up, check out, commit
suicide, stop living, etc.? So, we take a drug that makes us
more bummed? To the point of suicide?
When are we going to stop running to a doctor every time we (or
our children) have sniffle or pang to get that 'magic pill' ...

Paxil pierced its promise with a double sided swipe sharper than the sword of most depressive disorders. Paxil birth defects hit hard just ...

There is no single cause for depression. Many factors play a role including genetics, environment, life events, medical conditions, and the way people react to things that happen in their lives. Genetics Research shows that depression runs in families and that some people inherit genes that make it more likely for them to get depressed. Not everyone who has the genetic makeup for depression gets depressed, though. And many people who have no family history of depression have the condition. So ...

the well known Prozac) should have black box warnings.
This is due to a new study showing a strong correlation between
young people and suicide rates after taking an anti-depressant.
