a lot or news in portuguese

Society:
In Portuguese: Drug addicts paid to be sterilized.:
-Toxicodependentes pagos para serem esterilizados. Uma abordagem desesperada e chocante... Será a única resposta? Está certamente na area cinzenta da moralidade...
And still on the morality issue:
-Morality: Don't be afraid – science can make us better. Another fascinanting text. Some times new scientist surprises me :)
Another follow up on the morality issue: Sam Harris says that what is "right" is what promotes well-being. "The world religions will land somewhere near astrology, witchcraft and Greek mythology on the scrapheap. In their place we will have a thoroughgoing understanding of human flourishing, which will include even the most rarified and traditionally "spiritual" states of human consciousness."
-The Death of ACTA. I wish it was the news about it's actual death, but instead it is only a music track. I'm not a hip-hop / rap fan, but the lyrics are very interesting.
"
...
I'm just a citizen that's teaching you a lesson
for restricting my freedom of expression
Yes, and deep packet inspection? squeeze that up your rectum
If your postman did that to you you'd be having him sectioned
arrested for meddling in your private affairs
But it's only online, right? so why should we care?
Because digital rights should be applicable right
here in real life, and we're not criminals, right?
...

Medicine:
-Homem "sem rosto" do Rossio remove tumor de 5,5 quilos. Um caso médico fascinante... Pena que não está em inglês para poder partilhar com mais gente.

Humour:
demotivational posters - YOU WILL NEVER BE AS COOL AS  BATMAN BIN SUPARMAN
