Truly need a break, but it isn't the physical state where i need to stop my errants. My head is dizzy, eye is sore, nose is block, limbs are weak, of course not completely literally, just a metaphor of my tiredness. The world is sadden by sad news so often, at particular moment, when you scrutinize the other side of the world, you wish that the whole world could just stop awhile that you can have sufficient space to mourn or feel sympathy for them. Yet, the hassle pace keep pushing me, i need to wisely utilise the capacity available to feel sympathy. How much i wish i could just take a pause and have more time for them.

We need to keep to evaluating the circumstance by predicting the possible negative outcome and be quick enough to deal w...

Learn this from today's paper, India is the world most well known surrogates transaction site, with it's lower cost, abundant surrogates mother and less stringent legal guidelines. I hardly imagine the number of women that had been exploited and the quality of their life. Surrogate transaction is legalised by India government a decade ago, and it is so prominent that, couples from all around the world will come here for that. Some are infertile partners, some due to wives refusal on pregnancy and some are homosexual partner. Destitute women in India turn to the offer of being a surrogates mother for monetary purpose, and it exposes them to risky pregnancy if they are above 35 and have a high parity of more than 6, which neither they are the practitioner will cautiously look into. The law and regulation is certainly not rigid enough to protect them. Neither to protect the surrogates children from being misuse of terrorism, prostitution and other unethical procedures. T...
