A New Way to Be Mad

This article is similar to the one we read in class, it details how some people feel their limbs don’t belong to them. I have mixed feelings on how doctors should proceed. On one hand I feel as though if a person is willing to pay a doctor to amputate their limb then they should be allowed to and maybe it can be donated to someone who needs it like an injured vet. But on the other hand I feel as though medication and therapy should be used. I think people who feel this way should really try to give therapy more time and different medication combinations. I do feel that people are getting hurt getting the surgery performed aboard and maybe it the surgery was domestic less people would die. 

Mount St. Mary’s Ableist Plan To Push Out Vulnerable Students

I think it its very interesting that a catholic school would like to dismiss at risk students socially since model citizens (Saints) and the bible both preach to be welcoming to those who need help. I understand that colleges are businesses but at the same time at risk students add diversity to schools. I think the school should try to encourage students to stay in school. Newman (the president of Mount St Mary's would probably get more coverage if all his students graduated and none dropped out. I think it’s pretty terrible to already pick on students who probably need the most help and are struggling even as the semester begins. I think using depression as criteria to be advised to drop is disgraceful. People who have depression don’t ask for it and shouldn’t be penalized.
