Now people keep bringing up incest as an 'out' in the no-abortion stance, and I am not exactly sure why that might be. Its listed separately from rape, medical issues and contraceptive failure so what exactly is it about a foetus created of incest that makes it permissible to 'kill it'? Having...

Yes, if you read this thread here, you will see a wide range of alternative measures. Just a very brief run down of options: Non award HSC Pathways TPC TAFE Diplomas/Cert IVs OpenEducation If you want more details on these, visit the linked thread. It should also be noted that given your...

So long as you are an Australian citizen then in most courses thats pretty much the deal - you can also get the loan if you are in a FEE place and barring the most expensive courses the loan will probably be able to cover your course fees in that situation as well.

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Semester 2 is here!' Thread I want to tell you all that I'm loving the new classes this semester so far, the tutors are far more engaging/intimidating than last semester, likewise with the lecturers. The tutes so far are also very cosy - its like the beginning of last...

What is it about being raised by a same sex couple that impedes emotional and social development? Given the flexibility of traditional gender roles in recent years, even opposite sex couples are not neccesarily going to have the traditional man and woman rearing a child. Instead positions within...

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, it is my pleasure to introduce you all to le Reflectione Statement! Now first things first, you may have met the mods – they're the nice ones. I'm Evan...and I'm not nice. I also am going to shamelessly copy Justin's habit of using quotes for headings.[ha!]...

I thought I might as well post the final decision on this matter - I've decided to defer the Certificate. However SES doesn't seem to be of any help at all regarding my queries on the matter, which is irritating to say the least. Also, thanks to everyone who replied.:)

Re: The UTS 'Get Naked and Secks' Thread haha, communications/law students own, they do 4 subs this semester. Though seriously, the load wouldn't be that bad because I did 30cp last semester and would've been fine if I hadn't gotten sick - all you really need is consistent study.:)

In To Kill a Mockingbird, the truth is obscured due to familial pressure placed on the young lady testifying. It is also obscured by a jury who are unwilling to see the truth because they are too entrenched in social prejudice to look at facts - they have been manipulated by the appearance of...

Commonwealth Supported Place: The government covers the majority of educational fees but the student still makes a contribution. Fee Paying Place: The university or college charges you with the full cost of each subject. A courses status as fee-paying does not reflect on its usefulness...

^It doesn't quite work like that. UAC establishes the degree of your problem without exact details being described to the universities. The universities respond to UACs assessment with one of two types flexible entry: Allocation - they set aside approx 5% of their places for EAS applicants, and...

The government supported places are limited, which is why you must reach a certain UAI cut-off to be considered eligible for that placing. It should also be noted that there are certain courses that do not have government support whatsoever (mainly at private colleges) but which still allow you...

If you are an Australian citizen in a CSP place, you have the option of deferring the entirety of your student contributions, you then start paying this back when your income rises over a certain threshold. Which just leaves costs such as travel, textbooks, stationary etc. in your hands. If...

Thats probably not that far-fetched - if I remember my biology correctly then as opposed to the nervous system of animals plants are co-ordinated completely by hormones. So it could be possible that certain plants are preset to release certain chemical when they are severely damaged (and thus...

There is no scientific consensus on when the foetus is truly alive so if you want to be pedantic about it, its only killing if they believe(or have been told) it is alive and only murder if they believe (or have been told) it is human. Otherwise they would be terminating something without the...

Regarding the contribution issue, wouldn't it then justify termination of a human who is so disabled that they can contribute neither ideas or labor to society? I'm also not quite sure what you mean by affirmation someone has for their species ( I haven't seen Matrix 2 in ages). I think at...

Last semester I had only 2 subjects on UTS online regardless of me being enrolled in four - not every subject has a UTS online component, and if they do they aren't always accessible to students. And a pass is usually enough if that subject is listed as a prereq, however if you are unsure...

I would think that under that classification all mammalians and avians would be entitled to rights, as well as some reptiles. I also agree that giving those rights would be limiting, for if we did so then it would force humanity to basically subsist on fruit, vegetables, fish and crustaceans...

This thread leads on from a tangent from the Abortion thread: To further this, what is the point at which we distinguish between a being we may own and kill, and one we may not? And how do we compare the moral worth of the ownerships and killings of thing that are 'not us'(eg animals...
