JUSTICE HAD BETTER PREVAIL

There is a case going back to court once again in British Columbia that is enough to make me spit nails.

A 46 year old man is being sued by his mother for support. Sound reasonable?

How about a mother who left her 15 year old son alone to go off with his father who was a long haul truck driver along with one of their other sons. Leaving this boy to fend for himself. A mother who never even bothered to contact him again until she wanted money.

She is suing her son, Ken,  and four of his five siblings and it has been dragging on for years. She is using a little-used section in B.C.’s Family Relations Act that legally obliges adult children to support “dependent” parents.

Ken spent his youth pumping gas, and couch surfing with friends as he no home. He never got to finish school or even think about higher education.

None of her children except the one who she kept with her talk to her. She dropped her case against him as it would be impossible to collect anything from him as he is in and out of jail.

This woman’s pro bono lawyer says it doesn’t matter what kind of a parent she was they are obligated to support her now.

The other siblings allege that their upbringing was brutal and having to speak of it has caused great distress to them.

She is asking for $750.00 monthly from them.

This woman makes me sick and I will be so furious if she wins her case. A parent is more than just a womb or sperm donor.

I know it costs a lot to raise children but that is a choice we make when we have children. She deserves nothing and i hope she gets it.

THE SUM OF OUR PARTS

Have you ever heard of the exhibits showing the human body peeled down to its basic components? The ones where the skin is removed showing the sinew, the tissue, the muscles, the nervous system. 
I have never seen them in person though they have visited our area. 

In Manitoba a human rights lawyer has requested the courts seize the exhibition to stop it from leaving until the provenance can be proven. He feels the bodies may be those of political prisoners from China and that they were not obtained with consent. 
The exhibit was already banned from Seattle because of the concerns over how these bodies were obtained.
What do you think? Would you go and see an exhibit like this one? I find it fascinating and very educational but the thought that the bodies were not obtained with consent opens up such a huge can of worms. It would seem to me that this would open up the market of bodies from illegal sources.
