  • A comment on Conversation: I believe the right to a health-care is a basic human right..what can we do to make that a reality?

    Oct 12 2011: Well I think Right to food is more important to our country right now than anything else.The problem is most of the students who join the medical colleges in our country only dream of getting high-paid jobs rather than working selflessly for the poor. If we can improve the condition of the govt hospitals and abolish corruption we can provide healthcare for most of the people.Private hospitals can also be forced to provide a minimum amount of health service to the poor.Charity organisations must also be encouraged by the govt.

    A comment on Conversation: Is democracy overrated? Is China overtaking the West because they are NOT democratic?

    Oct 9 2011: It doesn't matter if a country is democratic or not,what we need are good leaders to lead the country.Sometimes it is necessary to crack the whip but if the power is concentrated with one single party as you say then it will definitely lead to corruption because no one will be able to question it.As einstein said ""dictators of genius are succeeded by scoundrels".Democracy even though it is slow it is much better.
    Dictatorship is like marriage,if you can find the right girl ( I mean the dictator) then your marriage life will be sweet or else it will be a disaster.The problem is most of the people are unable to find the right partner.

    A comment on Conversation: Selling kidneys. Is it unethical or an untapped business opportunity?

    Oct 8 2011: Well being an Indian I can understand the issue.The problem is most of the poor people are uneducated therefore they really don't know what will be the effects of selling their kidneys.But there are also people who would want to sell them in spite of knowing the effects and we have no right to stop them.Therefore I agree with you,legalizing things is a good way to tackle this problem but it is difficult to practically implement it in a country like India where there is so much of corruption. I think that creating awareness among uneducated people regarding this is vital to solve this problem.
