over 200 private oocyte, female egg, donation agencies. The women that donate are paid about $5,000- $8,000 per donation and this has caused many women to donate. Although many of the agencies deny that they are buying oocytes, but instead are paying the women for their “time and inconvenience,” thus a loophole.

graver reality is that majority of the world’s population is not aware of the devastating effects of poverty, people living in poverty suffer from hunger and are prone to diseases.

Three main countries have helped immensely in taking in refugees- Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. Each of these countries has taken in a large portion of the refugees and provided them with a home, but the resources of them all are running low and they are having a hard time maintaining economic stability.…

I am going to discuss Singer’s thesis in his article “The Singer Solution to World Poverty.” His thesis is as follows: • If you don’t donate to organizations like UNICEF and Oxfam America, you’re acting just as badly as Bob. The reason why Singer believe this is because Bob’s situation resembles that of people able but unwilling to donate to overseas aid organizations like UNICEF and Oxfam America.

The drama portrayed in this series is more extreme than other comparable teen drama shows, such as The O.C or 90210. This is due to the controversial topics that are…
