After the formal session in the House of Councillors (saiba mais here), that ended near the 23 hours, I had the opportunity to meet with the composer Marcelo Yuka, da banda O Rappa. Victim of urban violence to try to prevent a woman was assaulted, Marcelo Yuka became paraplegic seven years.

Yuka continues composing music for different bands and militates in favor of the motion disabled people. Because of its militancy, Yuka has an opinion (times-) formed on the issue of animal testing, arguing that it is useful for the research with stem cells, eg. Having become vegetarian for six months, had the opportunity to talk for more than two hours in a very cordial and enlightening, discussing the other version in relation to animal, both with regard to ethics in relation to animal rights as with regard to the validity of these experiments to human health.
