What is your opinion about women in the military? 

I think women should definitely have a strong presence in the armed forces, starting by being part of the military service as they are along with men for example in Israel. They should also be able to make a career in the army and hold the position of Commander in Chief. I’m sure relations among countries would be less warlike.

What is your opinion about tattoos?

Tattoos weren’t appealing to me when I was younger, but when I turned 40 I decided to have one done and I don’t regret the decision at all so in my opinion if you are truly conscious of its meaningfulness and mature enough to realize that it is going to be part of you most probably for the rest of your life, go ahead and have one (or many) done.

What is your opinion about recycling? 

Nowadays recycling should be mandatory! We, as human race, have the planet full of waste and by recycling we would diminish garbage in a great deal. The excuse given by governments is that recycling is expensive and non profitable but these shouldn’t be matters of discussion when thinking in the future of the next generations. Nevertheless we can all do our part to help now; in my case, I have a compost bin in my yard.

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

Abortion should be legalized in all cases as it is in developed countries. Chile is a country full of double standard people where clandestine abortions are a profitable business for doctors and clinics, where these same doctors claim for having the right of “conscientious objection” and where women who have had abortions done in secrecy vote for the right wing to keep the hypocrisy in which they live.
