Blog #8

TUNES:
1. Allow Stem Cell Research - Classic Rock
This song explores both of the positives and negatives of stem cell research. This ethical debate involves creation, usage, and destruction of embryonic cells. The positives being that stem cells can grow into almost any kind of cell in the human body. The negative being that once used, the cell is destroyed and can not be used again. The song will end with a resolution of allowing research for select fields of study.

2. Let Women Choose - Opera
This song talks about the controversy of abortion. Letting a woman decide whether or not to keep a child or abort a child. Some people believe that a woman has the right to choose, but still others believe that at the point of conception it is a child and has a life and can not and should not be aborted or it is killing a person. The solution is abortion only available up until 13 weeks.

3. Don't Abuse Animals - Hip-hop
The abuse of animals is a serious issue in the world today. Animals have rights too, just like human beings. Some studies show that animal abuse can lead to human abuse, which is not a good thing. Most animals can not define themselves against the rage and anger of their master. Something must be done to help the animals.

4. Separate Church & State - Alternative
In the past it may have been okay to combine church and state for different matters, but in the 21st century it is unacceptable. The church deals with religion and is defined as a place to congregate and learn from a person connected/associated to God (or whoever one might believe in). While the state has to do with government/school and how they are both run and operated. When both are combined, the outcome is awful, meaning the church takes over and the state has no real say in things.

5. Bring The Troops Home - Country
In the United States, and many other parts of the world, the war on terrorism in the Middle East has gone on for too long. The troops need to come home and be with the ones that really need them, they have done enough for their country and its people. If they wanted our help they would have asked before, and so far as we know there is no actual proof of the nuclear bombs that were supposed to be there.

LYRICS:

- Allow Stem Cell Research - Classic Rock
Stem Cell Research is,
The testing of cells to,
Find their properties,
To find out what kind of cell they are.

Support stem cell research,
Support stem cell research,
They should allow stem research,
To help out those in-need.

Embryos can the only source,
To grow any kind of cell,
To help a human body,
But it is then destroyed.

Support stem cell research,
Support stem cell research,
They should allow stem research,
To help out those in-need.

Soon in the future,
This research could help,
Those who are in-need,
Of cell growth!

Support stem cell research,
Support stem cell research,
They should allow stem research,
To help out those in-need.
