Gs2- Vulnerable sections- Disabled - Rights of persons with disabilities,2016 and Gs-4 ethics
The purpose of any law is to empower or to deter- not sympathize
The article underlines what Our Hon'ble PM Modi emphasizes on- calling vikalang as divyang- it is important to have compassion for the differently abled. But it is not okay to look at them in a patronizing way. They are not objects of your charity. Behavioral change in people is the most empowering aspect when we talk about differently abled people.

GS4 : Ethics- Is cinema promoting immoral activity? is Joker glorified?
Interesting debate.... This question reminds me of the Nirbhaya rape accused interview... their statements were petrifying and shocking. However one has to understand the kind of socio-economic setup they came from. It reflects the kind of society we are living in and the need for empathy.
Spoilers ahead : To the people who watched joker. The scene where joker pleads thomas wayne for "a hug and a bit of decency" shows why all we humans need is empathy. It also reiterates why Gandhi and his ideals are still relevant.
Both Gandhi and the joker are anarchists- they wanted no state intervention- but they are just the opposite in their means🙂
P.s. Those who havent watched joker- please do😁👍

GS3: SnT- What is Uterine transplant?- Being able to transfer a uterus from one woman to another, so that an infant is born, can be seen as a success in a medical sense.
GS4: Ethical dilemma-Bioethics- Researchers have now studied ethical aspects of uterus transplantation. The results show that uterus transplantation with living donors is ethically just as problematic as altruistic surrogacy.
research shows that many of the arguments against altruistic surrogacy can be applied to uterus transplantation as a treatment for involuntary childlessness.
Some of these include:
1.That the intervention can threaten the autonomy of the donor, and subject her to pressure.
2.That the intervention can lead to exploitation of women's bodies
3.That the research on the physical and psychological risks facing the child is inadequate
