Euthanasia




The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word Euthanasia is Dr. Death (Jack Kevorkian), a very popular northamerican doctor that was indicted for practice indirectly euthanasia to his patients. He used a machine called “Thanatron” that allows the patients self-administered lethal chemicals to end with they lifes. His motto of life was “died is not a crime”. That’s also the most famous case of euthanasia that I know.
But, what do I think about euthanasia? I think as Dr. Death in a certain way, died is not a crime, and if there is a person with a terminal disease without no possibility of recovery and its causes the patient a great pain I think that euthanasia is a legitimate solution, but only with those conditions. And as I don’t have religion, it does not matters me, (the euthanasia I mean).
However, the Chilean government doesn’t think like me or Dr. Death. This assisted suicide is not allowed legally in Chile. They doesn’t see euthanasia with all its benefits, they doesn’t respect personal freedom to decide what to do with hi/her life.

Travelling!!!

I can think in only one thing, travel, travel and travel. That’s the only thing that I want to do now. I would like to travel around Chile, firstly to north of Chile and then to south. But I also I always wanted to visit Europe, specifically Rome or Greece, but I never have been to. I would like to go there to see the classical architecture and the old buildings, like Partenon or the Coliseum. And I like to make a videotape about myself travelling around those old cities. But if I realist, I would not like to live or work in those cities many time, I admit that could be great at the beginning, but then the city could lost the magic to me I think, if I go to Rome for example and if I live in there, the coliseum won’t be the same if I look it all the time, do you know what I mean. And I like to live in Chile, and travel around it; it’s a beautiful country with many landscapes. So, I really want to travel around the world but I like Chile very much.
see u.

The Cinema

You can’t imagine what I going to talk about today!, yeah, it’s about CINEMA!! Firstly I am going to talk you about my impression about the cinema or movies. Then, I will continue telling you about my favourite movie, and why it’s what likes the most. After that, I will tell you a little of my likes and dislikes kind of movies, because not all movies are worthy to see.
Well, I don’t will lie to you, I’m not a big lover of movies, in fact, I don’t see a lot of movies. I don’t rent them and I don’t download or buy them. I’m really boring in that aspect.
About my favourite Chilean film, I don’t have one, but about movies in general I need to tell you that I had 3 favourites movies. “the lord of the ring”, because I like the fantasy world that shows the movie. “la vida es bella”, because it’s a really beautiful movie that tells us about the sacrifice of a father and the other movie that likes me is ”the road”, another movie that tells us about the great effort of a father at the end of the world to care his son.
I need to tell you that I dislike the romantic movies, because they are predictable and boring. But I really like the action, existential and fantasy movies very much.
 But if I honest with you, if someone made a movie about me it could be a sad one at the beginning, but then change the history completely, so I think that it could be a interesting movie.
That’s all for now, thanks.

New and Strange Term

Well, here I am again, I don't really like the idea to be in class, I felt very diappoint about the end of this great social movement. If I am honest, I did want to end like this, getting nothing. This could be a good reason to explain the fact that I don’t have good expectations about this Term, I only want to end as fast as possible. Only the idea that have a Two months Term make me think in vacations, because this is not an aproppiate way to past all the class assignments of the subjects, well, that’s my impression.
And also I hate some of my currents subjects, like psychiatry, Introduction to the Psychologycal Evaluation and cognitive Neurocience. Because I can’t question the bases of this knowledge, I have to learn and memorize it without interpret or even think  what I’m learning. I just have to know it.
Another thing that bugs me is that we will have class in summer. The idea of having class with 40 degrees of temperature and 45 people is just…awful.
That’s all that could I say in formal and academics terms about this short Term.
