How far would you go to have a child? Would you risk your health, the health of your spouse or most importantly the health of the fetus?
There will always be risks when a child is born — this is an unavoidable part of life — but the job of a doctor is to lower those risks, reduce the danger of procedures and protect a patient’s wellbeing. When a doctor graduates from medical school they must swear to uphold the Hippocratic Oath, which states that they must “never do harm to anyone.” so what happens when a doctor fails his or her oath?

For anyone interested in music that goes beyond standard FM shlock-fare, there are few vestiges for alternative or independent music on the radio waves these days.
Not to condemn rock radio for filling their quota, but if it’s necessary to satiate CanCon law requirements, I could do without hearing Nickleback’s “How You Remind Me” ever again. Theoretically, there are better, newer Nickleback songs. Most of what Saskatoon radio listeners are subjected to doesn’t go beyond the most overplayed and uninspiring.

Brad Trost is at it again. The controversial politician recently renewed his opposition to federal funds going towards the Planned Parenthood organization, much as he did during the May federal election. As one of Trost’s constituents, I am embarrassed to have an MP with such a narrow perspective that does not respect the rights of women to choose their own fates.

Odds are you’ve come across individuals who silently suffer from mental illness. Maybe it’s one of your friends, a stranger on the street or even yourself. Mental illness affects millions of people worldwide: from the anxiety producing numbness of obsessive compulsive disorder to the extreme mood swings of bipolar disorder to the damning and uncontrollable thoughts of schizophrenia.

Listening to the radio, you can’t help but wonder, is rock music dead?
Last year, only three of the UK’s top 100 singles were classified as rock. Of the fifteen best selling albums worldwide, there wasn’t a single guitar band. Don’t ask me why, but kids now think digital instruments are cooler than electric guitars. And after 60 years of rock and roll, some music journalists are pronouncing the genre dead.

Our generation’s girls have been raised on two keen ideals. The first as the ultimate and wise Spice Girls have taught us is “girl power.” It is simple and short and breathes life into the girls who remember the pigtails and six-inch platform runners fondly. The second is that feminists are man-hating lesbians; one must have an awful haircut and a lack of fashion sense to apply.

Despite a comfortable position alongside a myriad of disturbing new laws, the government’s proposed Internet surveillance legislation, known publicly as lawful access, was conspicuously absent from the Conservative’s recent omnibus crime bill. This came as a welcome surprise to many, considering that the prime minister had pledged to pass the legislation within the first 100 days of the new parliament. Unfortunately, there’s no real indication that the bill is gone for good. Canadian Internet users are still in the government’s judicial crosshairs.

At this point, most female Facebook users have gotten a message from a fellow woman urging her friends to “keep men guessing” and to help spread breast cancer awareness through cutesy games involving status mash-ups of their birthdays, where they put their purse and the colour of their bra.
But one cannot spread awareness through a message that is intentionally cryptic. These silly games just prove that few people understand what awareness actually means.
