pro-life or pro-choice.,

wednesdays never fail to be entertaining with ultra-wonderful GP lessons. (no sacarsm intended, contrary to popular belief)
there was the screening of "The Sea Inside" which was a real-life adaptation of a quadriplegic who's in his state because of a dreadful accident at sea. Due to personal beliefs that he does not want to be wholly dependent on others, he feels that he does not lead a life of dignity and chooses to die with dignity instead. However the story revolves around the legal battle he is fighting to legalize euthanasia and his right to end his own life ( which failed btw and he did it illegally anyway -.-" in the movie ) and the friends he made along the way.
the story was in a way, compellingly told, which justified its Oscar (ok it didn't only just win an oscar it won a whole list of other imba accolades as well) of course, and made me teared at the end
what was quite touching was the scene where the nephew whom he regarded as a son gave him a hug just before he was leaving to go for his suicide pill (illegally) and that was equally puzzling cause i still can't/ can never figure out why would he care so much if he wanted so much to die yet still engage in/ cling on to all the human stuff like socializing / love etc. rah its a feeling/ thought that i can't express in words.
the show also made me reconsider my stand on pro-life and pro-choice. i had always firmly believed in pro-life for abortion except in rape cases ( or something equally bad) but was quite ambivalent/ undecided on euthanasia. but i think it should be choice now. haha.
i totally won't mind paying 20 bucks to watch this show like say in a cinema as opposed to some 6 bucks lt3 night. =x ok la maybe its not too bad afterall cant be too critical ._.
doing lotsa hw after getting ur hand twisted in a few hundred ways in a self-defence course makes your hand nua. feel guilty tkd exco peeps. haha jk.
