would I support making a vaccine program compulsory

The definition of compulsory:using coercive, making mandatory, imperative. I understand when it's on the topic of health and the health of a whole nation topics can be heated. I do not want to be in a country that I do not have a choice in the matter when it comes to my own health. there enough options out there, that vaccinations are not the end all be all.

should parents take a more active role in designing their childs immunization schedule?

As you all heard in class, I am taking a very active role in designing my kids immunization schedule. I think that it is always important to find information yourself rather than letting your doctor , or health practitioner, be the only one looking after your child's health. I think with the benefit of wonderful search engines we can research anything we want.Our ultimate goal is a healthy child and a healthy earth...

laughter as the best medicine

Laughter is certainly my best medicine.
Whenever I am feeling stressed and I am not finding the comedy in every day situations I just look at my kids to find that humor again.i know that sometimes it is really time that i go see a good comedy. When i have laughed alot everyhting seems so much easier. Even the stressful situations don't bother me.

stem cell therapy

Stem cell therapy sounds wonderful. If we could find away to generate new stem celss without the use of embryonic cells that would be better. I think that as we continue to learn more about the human body and how it repairs itself the easier it will be for us all to stay healthy. If we can access such things as our stem cells ,and help them multiply within our bodies, that would be great. In a way I look at it kind of like homeopathic medicine, we are triggering our bodies own immune system do the work rather than relying on pharmaceutical drugs.

open season wolf hunt

I do not feel that as humans it is our right to create or to destroy other life forms on this planet. I certainly think that having us kill wolves from a helicopter is despicable. If we are going to reintroduce the wolves and then kill them off when we feel they are getting out of proportion with the environment, why even reintroduce them....? Let's try to tread lightly on this fare earth. If we do that then those lifeforms that do not survive are not supposed to, but if our massive slaughters are the reason then that species may have a problem coming back into balance. I guess I am saying let's not intervene and let mother nature decide.
