Sunday Surkhi--Gary andTony have a Baby

While the California Courts continue to solve the conflict of Proposition8 and its opponents, the Same-Sex Married couples enjoy further by having a "baby". (There are other terminologies in the making for 'couples' like 'Domestic Partnerships' or 'State-sanctioned Union'. I wonder what terms would be used for such a 'child'--some modification of such words a s offspring or progeny or brood etc.)
 Huge sums of money are collected and spent for all this fight as well as now for "having a baby".
One of the "couple" used his sperm to impregnate an egg bought in the market (Yes like the usual hen's eggs, now there is a market of human eggs too, just a bit more expensive, say a few thousand times more).
Then they went out hunting an "Uterus" to use as the incubating instrument for "gestation" and sure enough (if you spend enough money you can always find a needy woman to sell that "gestational equipment" God Almighty has provided her for procreation) they secured one and--result---out comes Nicholas, a healthy boy for a healthy same sex couple.
My wording above does tend to be somewhat derisive but forgive me for that and let us consider this a bit more seriously, where the gay marriages are taking our civilization and its impact on those concepts and values that have existed since the times of Adam.
 I missed the documentary of Soledad O'brien, but it obviously painted a picture not only sympathizing but also approving and praising the 'happy healthy family'.
 Evidently Gary and Tony spent a lot of money to achieve their goal of having their "own" child who they are raising together as father and "...............". I see articles in support of this that
"there is no effect on the child's psychology when gay 'parents' raise a child (mostly adopted)"
"why does the society oppose such a union between the same sex persons"
"there will be so much to gain in terms of moneys generated by "additional" marriages (if they are given a legal recognition) for example from taxes the state will obtain. (See how much the state is losing by not recognizing the SSmarriages)

------And the battle of sexes goes on.
     Ethics and morals aside, just consider the woman who sold her uterus+ (after all she 'bore' the child, got through the pains and difficulties of gestation and parturition etc.) only to gain some money for her and her family. She opted to remain behind the scenes. She is after all the "biological mother" of Nicholas (and God knows how many more Nichloases will be brought into this world to please many more Garys and Tonys and may be for example Jennys and Janes)
There will be legal battles fought by the biological mothers to get the baby back and "return" the funds obtained. Psychologically she may feel the attraction for the baby (has happened before).
 The opposite of Gary and Tony, we are going to see Soleded or some such reporter bringing to us a gay couple by the names of Jane and Jenny who will find money to get a "sperm" bought in the market of frozen sperms (preferencially chosen from known super-athletes and therefore high prices paid for the sperm) and either of Jane or Jenny providing the uterus for giving birth to their "own child". Then in future may be their child "Jessica" will go out looking for the absent father, who will most likely fail to recognize his daughter
There are myriads of stories I see developing in our 'civilization' which my children and grand children will see and ?enjoy.
An old man like me, even if not Alzheimer's patient, gets confused, can you blame me?

Jum'ah Journal-

   "When asked about what you do not know, do not be ashamed to say, you do not know.
      and when you do not k now something, do not be embarrassed to learn it.
 And may you have patience, for patience is to faith as the head is to the body; there is no good in a body without its head and none in faith without patience."

 From "Living & Dying with Grace"
By Ali Ibn Abi Taalib RA

Medical Musings

1.   I was examining the chest of a patient with stethoscope
Breathe with open mouth
Now breathe normal
 Say ninety nine
 say ninety nine
Say ninetynine... many more times
"Doctor, when are you going to ask me to say one hundred".
 
2.  I was getting ready for L.P. to do a myelogram on a patient and after the proper positioning I started the aseptic cleaning with swab of betadine solution.
"Doctor, you forgot to warm up the solution"


3. I was  taking a history of a gentleman in Pakistan about his epigastric pain
"ڈاکٹر صاحب کھانے کے بعد ایکدم پیٹ میں قوالیئں ہونے لگتی ہیں
  (Doctor, after I eat my, tummy gets feelings of Qawwali singing)

4. (I have written it before) I was on the evening rounds in a hospital in NorthEast England where there was lot of COPD (Nearby coalmines). I had prescribed Aminophylline suppository to some patients for relief of respiratory distress (with good results).
 Sister (the charge nurse of the ward) who had overheard the conversation in neighboring patients in the ward tells me
  (Medicine has advanced so much nowadays,  the medicine is given you "down" and the effect is "up")

Sunday Surkhi--Nuremberg Code

  American CIA has rejected allegations against the Bush  administration for their practice of unethical medical experimentations  under "enhanced interrogation" violating Geneva convention restrictions on prisoners, Nuremberg Code and even US war crimes Act Code.
 Physicians for Human Rights has lodged the complaint to Obama Administration to act on the evidence and start investigation and punishment for the Bush administration. Some 22 organizations have signed  for this complaint.
 The problems started right after 9-11 though. First thing that happened was to make sure when "war on Terror" was declared that the terminology had to be changed.
Since it was not "conventional war" therefore the prisoners were not prisoners but "enemy combatants" and then a whole host of  new terminology was introduced, words were redfined so that those who would do "unconventional" things would not be held responsible or 'answerable'. The concepts of torture chambers, were unchanged but new terms threw dust or smoke on them until the pictures from 'Abu Ghuraib' appeared. All moral and ethical standards of the most powerful nation in the world were just--- ignored.
Water boarding--use saline instead of water
Forced Nudity (its effect on the the subjects and also its effect on the 'onlookers'
checking time for "sleep deprivation"
Check medical evidence on exposure to extreme temperatures etc. etc.
 Future will see things more clearly and in more detail just like we see now in the movie "Nuremberg Trials" the Germans did not know how to dodge the media or they were not 'sophisticated' but although the race on which the Germans did the "experiments'--OK you can call them Nazis-- was not the only one of Jews but Jews did learn a lot from them. So now they 'teach' the American Administration Bush or any other, how to throw dust in the eyes of the "public" and do the same things Nazis did with impunity.
 Have Human beings learned anything from Nazis, Hitler, Gustapo, concentration camps etc. etc.?
The answer is "YES". They have learned how to change names and terms and still carry on doing the same things. It is like wearing a thin or extra thin piece of cloth without underwears and considering that you are completely clad.
 Modern Civilization of Man!!!!!

Jum'ah Journal--Seek forgiveness

 "I marvel at the one who despairs while still able to seek forgiveness."
Ali (RA) in  "living and dying with Grace"
 Knowing that with the exception of 'Shirk', God Almighty forgives every sin, so the truth of the above statement, why not seek His forgiveness There is caution, we should stay away from despair altogether and always hope for forgiveness,o matter how great and how many are your sins.

Jum'ah Journal-- Raleigh NC news







 Oho Oho
Occu-
pation
to go





 The young fellow on the hooter perched on his older brother's shoulders making the scene today, the usual practices of slogans at the top of your voices, placards and the good group feeling which I went to enjoy.
BUT my voice choked each time I wanted to say something
1 2 3 4- occupation no more.
 because instead my thoughts went to all those innocent people who were massacred on the Flotilla and my eyes filling up.
.The little one may not understand any of the slogans but I did not understand them either way back when I first joined such a demonstration in Lahore, Pakistan. They were demonstrating against the establishment of the state of Israel, 1948. All I knew that we must show support for our "flastini brothers".
   I wonder after another 62 years whether this young-man will still be doing the same what I am still doing?
May God guide our leaders of today to solve this problem  during my life time.

Pirates, approved by US

 There is a whole bit of history of this category of human misery making machine. Israel is keeping it alive and unfortunately we as Americans are equally to share the blame. This is not a question of Muslim vs Jews or Palestinians vs Israelis, it is just human, now. Just like we used to see in the movies those pirates jumping into the ships they attack with ropes and ladders but now they come on choppers and climbing down on the ship with ropes and they now call them commandos
The whole world is up in arms about this occurance but that is the way it was when Bush attacked Iraq.
Did the American Administration see the light then?
 No! and nor are they going to see today anything.
 I wonder how much political advantage there is to let these atrocities happen to Humans and then I see a poor dof or a puppy being saved from a hole successfully retrieved, a life saved of a poor animal
 Three chairs for the Americans, hip hip hurray.
 So much time, energy and funds spent to save one life of a puppy and not a single finger raised on the "massacre" of human beings in the middle of international waters and the pirates--our own Israelis- Zionists, call them what you like, all the weapons supplied by Americans, us I am afraid. The greatest power on earth gripped into moral decay
