1) Yep, count me in for organ donation. Indhadeeq, wow girl that was soo nice of you to donate your kidney to your friend. Brave soul!! I don't know what I would've done if the situation was to arise while I was alive. Farah: Most agree its prohibited?? I thought it was the other way. I have to research more on this area and " I think" doesn't cut it when it comes to Islam.

Excellent topic sistaluv!!! Is it just me or beating up children is a tradition in Somali culture? There's nothing worse than seeing a child beaten in public for small act ups. Does it really take spanking to get your child's attention? It sure shows how much power you have over them. I believe there more positive ways to disciple a child that let's them know who the authority is. Like some1 mentioned, punishment doesn't have to come in an a form of bodily harm. How about taking them away from the things they really enjoy: grounding, t.v., playtime, friend etc. Ameenah: you can suggest to your local somali settlement agency to set up workshops for parents. What do ya think?
