I have learned a great deal about health from reading these two documents. The first document was about one sperm donor having 150 children. I wondered to myself just how this was possible and how it could be allowed. Recently I heard on the local radio stations that sperm banks in the United States were no longer accepting men with red hair because there was not a desire in the US for red headed children. Over in Ireland is where the women want red headed children. Out of the two documents I found this one the most interesting. Across the US there are no rules on how many times a man can give his sperm, nor is there a number of how many women can get this too. One man in the article asked how many children he would have throughout the US and was told five to 10 but no more than that. When he went into the system through the sperm bank he found that he had 70 children. Far from the quote he was told. This man keeps an excel spread sheet of all of the children that he has and checks from time to time to see if there are more. One analogy that I found interesting was that a sperm bank has less rules than a car salesman. A car salesman cannot sell a lemon and there is information about the car. How is it that something so life changing can have fewer guidelines than a car sale? Another thing that did not enter my mind until I read it was that these children with having the same sperm donor are going to have to be extremely careful when it comes to their relationships and marriage as well as if they choose to have children. A mother in this article said that her sex talk involved having her memorize the sperm donor’s number. To me there isn't anything wrong with having a child using a sperm bank, where I see that it is wrong is when you have your child and that child is going to have to check every single person that she might think is attractive or a potential date. You cannot just be a kid, you have to worry about things normal children and teenagers should not have to worry about.
I found something interesting on tonight while I was going through the guide. There was a show on the Style network that was discussing one man named Ben who donated sperm while in high school and now is finding out that he has over 70 kids. It shows a single Mom who decided you use a sperm donor since she was older and didn't have a mate at the time when she wanted to have a child. Now you have the Mother who has two children who are interested in meeting Ben. He is very much open to this so that the children can see who he is and at least meet them and have a fun day. The one person that the show is showing having a problem with this whole thing is Ben's fiance. It didn't go into as much detail as the article above, but it was interesting to say the least.

The article on crash dieting comes into play so much in now in the society that we live in. We live in a society where most of the movies, television shows and even magazines are putting skinny women and men right in front of us. It makes us want to look like them and even go to the extremes to do so. There have been movies where the women are using the master cleanse to fit into a dress. One that comes to mind is the movie Maid of Honor. She drinks this drink to fit into her dress and even has an episode where she almost falls from not eating anything at all. I think that the doctor said it best that the way to do this is to eat healthy, exercise. With all of these fad diets on the market it makes Americans do and take things that aren't healthy for them. A lot of celebrities are now endorsing diet products. You have Kim Kardashian for Quik Trim and the Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger endorsing Sensa.
The discussion with other class mates was a great approach. I have done that in another one of my classes. It's neat to see how different people can have the same point of view or elaborate more so on what one person has said. Even when there is a disagreement it's still very interesting to read their points.
