Describe a law not discussed in this lesson designed to benefit an individual's health. Justify your response using two or more
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The law of public urination is illegal due to the laws that are designed to benefit overall communities' health. A common misconception of this law is that is was created since urine is unsanitary; however, urine is sterile because it contains no living organisms unless the person that produces it has an active urinary tract or bladder infection. In fact, there are actually fewer bacteria in urine than in the average tap water. Furthermore, while it may seem that drinking urine is okay since it is a sterile solution, but it is a really bad idea because it would upset the salt and nitrogen balance in the body due to it containing an abundance of waste products and salts that the body rids itself of via urination.
