MY MUM

I'm going to present you my mum: Natascha.
She is 43 years old and she was born in Köln(Germany). With 5 years she comes live to Spain with her brother, my uncle Oliver, and my grandparents, Ellen and Eggi.

She is tall, skinny, blond, blue-eyed and very beautiful. From the character she is quiet and pacific, she never scream and is shy.
She can speak perfect Spanish, Catalan, English, French and a little bit Russian and Hungarian.

Before she has been mum, she was working in a night pub in Los Arcos, but when she know that she was pregnant she let it and later she start to work in a pharmacy.
From 10 years ago now she work in a processing agency(gestoria)

Her principal hobby is yoga: she make yoga classes 3 times a week and every day she dedicate time for it. I personally doesn't like this sport, but I'm happy she do it because it makes she feel better.

She hasn't got a easy life, with many diseases and obstacles, but that only makes she stronger and a better warrior for break walls.
She helps me every day with all she can, she is like my best friend because I can talk about all with her, and she knows almost everything of me and of what I do.

YOUR-SAY

"EUTHANASIA"

-is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering- (Wikipedia)

I'm going to write about this not-allowed practice because I don't understand the people that is against this, because in my opinion every person has to be autorized to choose the way to live his life, and, absolutely, to choose ending voluntarily.

Normally, the reason to resort to the euthanasia is the terrible pain that suffer a person because of illness, an accident,...that argues that the death is better than live.

The euthanasia can be ACTIVE or PASSIVE:
      -ACTIVE: there is an "act" that causes ptient's death. For example, when you give the person an overdose of pain-killers.

      -PASSIVE: the death is caused by an omission. There are 2 types of passive euthanasia:
                       *withdrawing threatment-> normally switching off a machine that keeps a person alive
                       *withholding threatment-> not carriying out the surgery that will extend the person's life


The euthanasia can also be VOLUNTARY or INVOLUNTARY:
     -VOLUNTARY: the request of the person who will die
     -INVOLUNTARY: this includes for example childs that is mentally able to make this decision but in the law is not old enough to take it, so the parents or the tutors must take the decision. It's an involuntary euthanasia algo a murder that is realized for the benefit for the person that dies.

MY CLOTHES AND ME

I usually wear my blue jeans with a sweatshirt or a pullover with black or white sneakers and a big and thick scarf. I also always wear small earrings, a pink elastic band, a bracalet of pearls that give me my mother and a black necklace with a "N". The days we have P.E. or I don't feel like wearing jeans, then I wear black leggins because they look good with all the colors and with hoodies, pullovers or sweatshirts. I not like to wear dresses because they aren't confortable for me. I also not like to wear higheels because I am tall for there. I'm not a fashion victim. I'm interested in fahsion in perspective, because I look what I wear but I don't want wear things that are not confortable just because they're fashion. A very important brand for me is a ring that my grandmother had give me a long time ago that I wear every day.
