Articles 1-4

Article 1 - I don't think age should have anything to do with a kidney transplant. The fact of the matter is that the person who needs the kidney the most should get it, regardless of how old or young they are. It all comes down to where you are on the list and how long you can survive without this transplant. A person who is 80 years old could possibly live longer than a 20 year old. There is no way of knowing for sure, and because of that, age should not be a determining factor.
Article 2 - We are all created equal. It does not matter our gender, age, race, size, etc. So why does it matter who we love? All of a sudden, there has been an explosion of issues involving alternate lifestyles including gay and lesbian relationships and whether or not they can be considered a marriage, etc. and if these relationships warrant health insurance coverage. To me all serious relationships warrant health coverage, whether if they involve one man and one woman or two women.
Article 3 - I feel that this article brings up an excellent point: Irresponsible driving leads to accidents. Because of this, I feel that there should be a secondary law that fines you if you are pulled over or cause an accident because of inattentive driving due to cell phone use, digging through a purse, or any other situation where the driver's attention was compromised. There are too many people on the road trying to multitask while driving, which is the wrong time to be doing this. We are all guilty of doing too much while we are supposed to be concentrating on the road, but I feel that once there has been a law set, we would start to think twice before answering that one phone call or picking up something that has spilt.
Article 4 - I am completely appauled by this article. For years many races have been fighting for equal rights, but now I feel that caucasians are being wrongfully put down because of our race. No, it may not be politically correct to say, but I've never asked for preferential treatment because of the color of my skin, and I don't think it's fair that others are getting preferential treatment because the color of their skin. The only factors that should be taken into account are grades, extra-curriculars, GPA, and SAT/ACT scores. It is based on these factors that we will succeed or fail, not the color of our skin.
