Agamapar ChadhaJune 21, 20220

Conversion therapy by the medical profession is an illegal practice to ‘cure’ and covert any sexual orientation of a person to strictly heteronormative. The patient subjugated to these will be ‘cleansed’ from their sexuality which is part of the L.G.B.T.Q.I.A+ section of sexuality. This practice involves physically and psychologically breaking to resolve their ‘abnormal’ tendencies. There are many reasons why this practice continues to prevail in India.

Infidelity Pleasure More Than Sin: France’s Paternity Test Ban To Ensue Societal Chaos?

Agamapar ChadhaJune 20, 20220

The paternity test checks whether a child is the father’s offspring and involves extracting blood from the father and the child. These samples are given to a lab for analysis to prove/disprove a man is a child’s father. These tests have an obvious way of being useful as a tool for examining genetic conditions. This data would help in times of medical crisis. Socially and financially, this test has many undertones with “absent fathers” paying child support to the previously helpless mothers, extra-marital affairs getting caught, and mothers not being able to claim fatherhood to take financial backing. France, however, stands apart from these implications by banning genetic testing altogether. Tests are performed under strict restrictions by the court’s orders in the circumstances ...
