What is the bottomline in Angelina Jolie’s bravery of double
breast removal?
The article “Angelina
Jolie's Cancer Testing and Corporate Control of Human Genes: The BRCA tests the
actress had may be unavailable to thousands because they are held under patents”
by Andrea
Germanos, Common Dreams (http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2013/05/14-4),
I think, has two issues:
1.
Ethics of those who wield the tools of advanced
technology. The collusion of
capitalism+patriarchy has generated such phenomena like recent victory of
corporations to gain legal entitlement from the US court to become a “person”
having same rights, according to the constitution, like a naturally living
person/citizen. This give sovereignty to
a-human/corporation over (natural) human by deploying money power to recruit
scientists, professionals, experts, specialists, etc. who are willing to sell
their souls and be the slaves of capital+patriarchy in exchange for the
illusive comforts and conveniences the “sovereign” promised through hypnosis. This “bribery” breeds apathy toward future of
humanity, pushing aside their responsibility towards all life on the Earth, or
violate the Rights of Mother Earth.
Life is the last priority while Profit is sacred is the motto of a-human
corporations, Goliath, and its slave army of professionals.
2.
Cancer has become a dreadful disease partly is
true, but may be more a conspiracy of drug industry. It has been well
documented that mainstream medical treatments—surgery, chemotherapy, etc.—could
not always cure permanently, leave alone save life. Cancer is by and large a symptom of
imbalanced lifestyle, wrong livelihood, and especially deviant diets that
pollute our body and mind, in addition to the dreadful environmental/ecological
pollution/destruction. This internal
pollution weakens our immune system and the internal self-healing mechanism
that is the gift of Mother Nature, and inheritance from our common ancestor’s struggling
to survive on this Planet for millions of years.
Except few accidental cases, it is our
birthright to inherit healthy cells, bloods and human physiological design, and
live a happy and healthy human-life while visiting the Earth. But we destroy that gift by yielding to “modern
sensual temptation” so appealing to our senses--through eyes, tongue, nose,
touch, …,--that are convenient and cheap (by government subsidy/price
distortion). We also allow adding
“toxics” in our food through “modern practices” in agriculture, preparation, production
and procession of food, all in the name of “development” or “Better Quality of
Life”. And we pretend, by allowing this
to happen, that we are helping to remove poverty and hunger by accelerating
agro-production with chemical and intensive energy.
It is not that Mother Earth can’t provide
enough for all her children; it is human greed and endless accumulation and
blind concentration of wealth that She can’t fulfill. The tragedy from the tyranny of monopoly is well
documented. Not only the sins from
Colonization, but also the rise and fall of ancient dynasties, no matter how
great, such as the Roman Empire, are all like the Babel Tower. The example of “The Famine of Bengal” says
much about famine amidst abundance, when the British colonial master unjustly
deprived the tillers and natives of the share to life. All this has happened again and again and all
are well documented in human History or his/her-stories. But authority of Modern Education—almost
around the world—chose to deprive their own youngsters from learning critically
from history, instead, taming the spirit and colonizing their minds to become
“Tin Men and Tin Women” obediently serving the Master of capital+patriarchy, or
corporation Goliath.
Yet, as long as
we still have our breath, we always have choice provided that we must have the
will to stay awake and alive. Also
because we are too timid and fearful to leave our cozy, comfort zone, we decide
to let corporate monopoly continues…to abuse us and Mother Earth, i.e.,
over-dependent on mainstream medicine employing violent means to subjugation
and control, regardless of cases. We do
have choice, but not the kind of buying from convenient chain stores, nicely
packaged but empty nutrition.
Food is the first in the four basic life sustaining factors
for our human civilization: Food,
Clothing, Medicine and Shelter. All
living things, plants and animals including single cell organism, eat
food. But human may be the only species
in the Planet that destroy their own food resources. Part of our human race has become
parasitic. Each human being is like a
cell in the vast body of the Earth, or the Human species—from past to present
and into future—but some cells have mutated to be cancer.
Industry and technology that concentrated in the hand of the
rich/capitalists, investors, executives, scientists, producers and consumers
who bow to the Money God rather than respecting life, are cancerous cells.
Money is only a “lubricant” or “blood” that transports
nutrients to different cells and organs in the same body. The function of blood is to nurture
holistically the whole body indiscriminately.
But when deviant cells have their way, they siphon and trick blood
traffic to their side, and deprive other part from having access to
nutrition. Yet, it all begins largely
when we eat wrong food, junk food, that
