Posted in: British PM Johnson breaks tax pledge to fund new care for elderly See in context
Much like the political situation in Japan, it's just tough potatoes for the Brits. They voted for the conservatives, and after Crobyn got the boot, there is no real opposition. There was so much potential in Corbyn's Labour party for some real change, but now the party is run by an unelectable tory in a red tie. So let the Brits enjoy all the benefits of a conservative government for years to come. Pip pip.

Posted in: Japan to allow wider preimplantation genetic testing of eggs in IVF See in context
If you are having trouble conceiving naturally, and you are paying a fortune just so that you can enjoy being a parent, you should have the right to choose whether or not that child that will grow up with a debilitating or life-threatening illness. Which parent in their right mind wouldn't choose to have a healthy child ?
This is going to be a very unpopular opinion, but the argument put forwards by the people suffering from these diseases seems selfish. Why would you want more people to go through that suffering? True these kids could live their lives with support from society, but get this, they could live their lives completely healthy with support from science instead.
