THE MECHANIC WHO LOST THREE LIMBS WAS GIVEN A BIONIC ARM

As he was working in a mechanics workshop, he started to feel sick. Firstly he thought he had the flu, but he was immediately taken to Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where he had both legs and his right hand amputated.
Doctors diagnosed him sepsis (or blood poisoning) and he was put in an induced coma.
Thanks to his workmates, who collected £27,000 in almost one week, he was given a bionic arm, which has individual motors in each finger allowing a grip movement and with microprocessors which control the position of each finger. It is going to let him have his independence back.

On the one hand, it is evident this technological advance has a lot of astonishing things to offer, and one of them is the capacity to regain the movement or even more, the entire limb. And this is such a great step. The truth is that this progress has two faces: the misuse of technology or the unethical one, and the good one, which looks  forward to the future.
And on the other hand, the implicit message I can read in this article are the kind-hearted workmates and family that Mark Camamile has. They struggled to retrieve what their friend lost and not just physically.They didn’t give up and they  kept on doing everything they could to get the money to pay for the bionic arm.

ROY MOORE: ALABAMA TOP JUDGE OUSTED OVER GAY MARRIAGE STAND

Saturday, 01 of October 2016, Roy Moore, a top judge, has been suspended for twice to defy the federal court rulings that legalized same-sex marriage.

He has defended himself accusing radical homosexual and transgender groups who have counteract him in order to remove him of his Chief Justice of the Supreme Court place.

It is the second time he will be suspended. In 2003 he refused to take down a monument of the Ten Commandments. And this time he has shown his conservative mind that lead him to the impossibility of seek re-elected until the end of his term, in January 2019.


In my opinion there should be no place for this kind of overdue minds because all of us, our society, have been fighting for a long time to live with dignity and freedom, being absolutely the ownership of their decisions. Hence, we can’t permit those people lead us and give them a right to judge the society they are disagree with.

Our ancestors have come a long way and it has taken a long time. Enough to not give up nowadays and keep on walking in the same direction as they did years ago.


Finally, and focusing on the gay marriage, we can’t allow anyone to choose who we must love. We have to fall in love with this people who respect us regardless of their gender.
