Post 8: Personal opinions

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?
I think abortion is not something anybody should be discussing about. In my opinion abortion should be legal in every possible case and it should be guaranteed and financed by the government to provide a secure and safe way to interrupt an unwanted pregnancy whatever the reasons are. This is something that actually happens almost all around the world, but here in Chile we have certain people and authorities (mostly man) that believe that is more important to "save" the "life" of the "children" instead of protecting the psychological and physical integrity of a women who doesn't want to continue with her pregnancy, but at the same time they wouldn't take care of that children when it's grown up, so it's really illogical.

What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called “mechoneo”?
I think the Chilean tradition "mechoneo" it's a really stupid and unnecessary tradition that should be eradicated or at least rethought. In my opinion having a tradition to welcome students it's not a bad idea and there are plenty of ways to introduce new students to university that can be kind and fun, but i don't think that humiliating and hurting them is the best way.

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs?
The consumption of natural and synthetic drugs is a reality that can´t be ignored and because of that i think that it should be legalized and regulated by the corresponding authorities to prevent problematic consumption and the selling of bad quality drugs. Behind the production and distribution of drugs there are other problems between sellers and police that have ended with thousands of deaths and destruction and i don't think this is a problem that will end by prohibiting because right now it's like that and nothing has changed.

What is your opinion about killing stray dogs to prevent sanitary problems and animal over population?
I think there are better ways to prevent sanitary problems and animal population than killing them, like creating refugees and institutions that regulate the responsable care of animals. If the governments where more strict with laws that punish abandonment and irresponsable holding (not esterilize, adopting and abandoning, etc) then at least people would be afraid and would take more seriously the lives of animals. In my opinon we should treat animals the same way we treat humans, and as far as i know there is not such thing as killing homeless people.
