#PersonalAutonomy

[tmarshconnors]

Privacy is a fundamental human right

Privacy is widely considered a fundamental human right. It is recognized and protected by various international and regional human rights treaties and declarations, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Privacy is essential for individuals to exercise their autonomy, maintain personal dignity, and freely express themselves without fear of surveillance or intrusion.

Privacy encompasses the right to control one's personal information, the right to be free from unwarranted surveillance, and the right to privacy in one's home, communications, and personal activities. It also includes the right to protect sensitive personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

In an increasingly digital world, privacy concerns have become more prominent due to technological advancements and the vast amount of personal information being collected, stored, and shared. Protecting privacy in the digital age is crucial to safeguarding individuals' rights and preventing abuses of power.

Governments, organizations, and individuals have a responsibility to respect and uphold privacy rights. However, striking a balance between privacy and other societal interests, such as public safety or national security, can be a complex challenge that requires careful consideration and legal frameworks to ensure that privacy rights are not unjustifiably infringed upon.

If you haven’t noticed - the tightly enclosed lid on Chinese activity has loosened slightly. Many Chinese citizens have grown weary of the Zero Covid Policy that has limited the very few liberties they enjoy.

Unpopular Opinion: The mother who gave up her son may have done the right thing

The dad also did the right thing by keeping the child.

Here is the link:

http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/dad-refuses-give-newborn-son-syndrome/story?id=28756025

The story goes that the mother divorced her husband and left her son when she found out that the child has Down Syndrome. I know a few people effected by Down Syndrome. I grew up with a girl whose sister has it. They are a very happy family. Good for them! Its awesome to see families thrive despite bumps in the road.

However, I do feel that some people are not cut out to raise children with such a disability. Perhaps Leo's mother needed to put herself first when she realized she would have a difficult time raising him. Maybe it would be detrimental to her own mental health, thereby harming the family unit as a whoie. Maybe its better that she left the family for everyone's interest. She must love her husband and child enough to know that's not a place she belongs. I think that is perfectly okay.

The father too, deserves praise because he stood his ground and wants to raise the child. Maybe for him, it does not matter. Maybe he can handle that kind of situation. This is probably tough for him too.

I only hope that people praise the father more than shame the mother.

After all, their existence is their own. I am a person that believes in full autonomy of our own lives. If we decide we are in a situation that is not favorable for our own health and those around us, get the hell out of there.

So, in conclusion: go dad, for raising the child and taking on the challenge to do it alone, Go mom for knowing whats right for yourself. I wish everyone involved good luck with their future endeavors and families.
