Should newspaper reporters be required to reveal their sources?


I think all newspaper reporters should be required to reveal their sources. If you are going to be publishing something for all eyes to see you should reveal where you got your information from whether it be a person or place. I think this because it will cause the reporters to be honest on what they write about. Its shows you can truely trust what you read. Ecspecially if someone is quoting what another person has said or if they are writing a article on another person, they should always state who or where they heard the information. I think that revealing sources would also help improve reporters to write and share stuff that actually matters and stuff the readers can benefit from and prevent reporters copying from other reporters.

Should surrogate motherhood be either banned or regulated by law?


Choosing to have a surrogate mother is a huge decision anyone has to make. But it shouldnt be banned or be regulated by laws. It's a choice that you really need to look into before making the final decision, but I dont see any harm it would do to anyone. If anything it seems to help alot of people whom cant have children or are afraid to go through the process of being pregnant. There are alot of things a person needs to research if they choose to go with a surrogate mother, such as who the person will be to carry their child and financial. Which I can see where financial should be the only reason there is any law to having a surrogate mother, I have heard of cases of people pretending they are going to give the baby to the parents waiting for the child and change their mind after they get all the money. But I think that can all be avoided if the person is smart about what and who they choose to nurture they soon to be child. There is also angencies and programs a person can go through so this can all be avoided. There for this is why I believe surrogate motherhood should not be banned or regulated by law.

Should juvenile offenders be tried and punished as adults?

I believe juvenile offenders should not be tried and punished as adults, except for one crime and that is murder. I think teenagers make mistakes and are growing up to learn, alot of  their friends have a big influence on them in that time in their life snd teens will usually do what their friends are doing or what they peer pressure them into doing. But when it comes to murder, I dont care who the person is they should all have the same consequence. I think for someone to commit or be associated with such a corupt crime, they won't learn there lesson and will do it again. It shouldnt matter how old the person is they should be prepared for the consequences that comes along with that crime.
