Candidate's Comments:
Creative professionals sure, but definitely not doctors or nurses, if someone's life is in your hands then your obligation to them is required for your profession. There's too many suppositions with "faith based institutions" allowing for discrimination, because at the end of the day that is exactly what that is, in Tennessee, a christian adoption agency ignored a perfectly good family because they were Jewish, it's absurd to expect everyone to follow the same sincerely held religious beliefs. Again you really can't actively censor people so, there's no prohibiting people from speaking. It seems to be a straw man. Public organizations should release their donor info so that people don't get ripped off so to speak.

Candidate's Comments:
It's a fools errand to try and keep knowledge from children especially in this age of the internet. Sorry parents who want to keep the world out, it's just an impossibility. Children need to learn about things their parents might not like, because they deserve that opportunity to think for themselves. Should parents be able to stop children learning about natural selection or the evolution of species just because they disagree with it? No that's ridiculous and we already dealt with this in the Scopes trial. This country started out with laws regarding slavery, and that slavery was contingent on one thing only, skin color. We have to, if we are ever to right things which I believe will happen, be absolutely honest and open about the history of discrimination in the United States, and there are many cases that people are still oppressed or marginalized because of their skin color. It is not something that must be true, we can overcome it, but currently and for the majority of our history has been true.

Candidate's Comments:
The government has sway in the way that we live our public lives, but privately we deserve privacy. My father had 7 years of enfeeblement from complications with cancer, and his last month his lungs filled with liquid and he died of Pneumonia, people deserve the choice to end their life if they so wish it. And it would be impossible to stop people from committing suicide, so I think everyone deserves the dignity of choosing their end.
