... is – “KILLING a sick person, or performing actions which makes their death occur more quickly. Someone has to initiate, or DO something to cause the imminent death of the patient.� Now, if we look deeply into the reality, and have more understanding of what the sick people are feeling, we can gain insight into their world, and know what makes them ask a doctor to end their lives with dignity. Imagine if you were a person who was suffering from some horrible disease, you lie on the bed 24 hours a day with tubes all over your body, there is no way you can have a normal life again, EVER! Would you want ...

A quote to end with. "A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless to resist." -Steward Alsop, Stay of Execution Euthanasia has become an issue of increasing attention because of Dr. Jack Kevorkian's assisted suicides.

... (Encyclopedia America 354). Sometimes in treating phobias, doctors help the patient recall the incident that originally produced the fear. There is no real reason why some people become phobic: it can spontaneously happen to anyone at anytime, yet can be treated. There are nine sources, all of which will be useless in developing the thesis, that include five articles, three books, and a dictionary. Five articles, namely “When fear takes over�. “Everyone does it�, “Social Anxiety�, “The fight to conquer fear�, and “Adam: A Child's Courageous Battle Against Mental Illness.� Will be of no ...

... and functioning life. Memory is the key that unlocks doors that keep us functioning, not only mentally but physically (Corrick 32)." "Memory loss is not a sign of decay (Freedman 10)." As we get older, there is some mild impairment in our recollection of recent events, such as forgetting why one went into a room or misplacing a person's eye glasses, which even young are guilty of doing. As reported by Larry Squire, "forgetting is quite normal and usually develops in the third decade of life, and by one estimate 85 percent of the healthy elderly – those over 65—suffer some memory impairment (59)." According to ...

... a hierarchical theory of needs in which all the basic needs are at the bottom, and the needs concerned with man's highest potential are at the top. The hierarchic theory is often represented as a pyramid, with the larger, lower levels representing the lower needs, and the upper point representing the need for self-actualization. Each level of the pyramid is dependent on the previous level. For example, a person does not feel the second need until the demands of the first have been satisfied. 1. Physiological Needs. These needs are biological and consists of the needs for oxygen, food, water, and a relatively const ...

... your progress for their own peace of mind. Over time the modern health care system emerged into the bureaucratic organization that it is. All the characteristics depicted by Ritzer are easily seen when one examines health care. From a normal trip to the doctor for a routine check-up or even a specific ailment to rush trip in the emergency room predictability, control, efficiency, and quantification are obvious. Quantification is easily seen when you first step into a hospital waiting room and a huge sign tells you a number before you are even able to speak to anyone. After waiting a while your number is calle ...

... be explored. Overall I hope to achieve a better understanding of all these suggested topics within the body of the paper. SIDS is also commonly referred to as crib death. It is said to claim approximately in the range of 6,000 to 7,000 babies a year within the continental United States alone, with a slight increase each year (Bergman xi). This would seem to be an astounding figure, but when the figure of the total amount of babies that are born in the United States is compared to that of the number of deaths due to SIDS, it accounts for only a small percentage. It is a small percentage that hopefully can be reduc ...

... fibre. Like its fellow carbohydrates, the various types of dietary fibre are the product of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide combining in green plants. Most form part of plant cell walls. But unlike the other carbohydrates, fibres do not break down into sugars in the human digestive system and then course through the blood stream fueling muscles and nerves. Rather, when eaten they tumble intact through the stomach and small intestine and end up in the colon where billions of bacterial feed on them - in turn producing intestinal gas. No wonder, then, that dietary fibre has been unwelcome in many of history's ni ...

... he didn't want to wake me. Then he would begin to howl, like a dog. When this happened, he would ring for a nurse, and ask for the pain-killer. The third night of his routine, a terrible thought occurred to me. 'If Jack were a dog, I thought, what would be done to him?' The answer was obvious: the pound, and the chloroform. No human being with a spark of pity could let a living thing suffer so, to no good end." (James Rachel's The Morality of Euthanasia) The experience of Stewart Alsop, a respected journalist, who died in 1975 of a rare form of cancer gave an example on the morality of euthanasia. Be ...

... of alcohol on human behaviour From the above facts it is clear that alcohol has a major impact on the lives of Australians. This is particularly more so because it is not illegal and because it is so widely used. The effects of alcohol on a individual's body vary according to: (2) with the amount consumed. the way the alcohol is taken. the individual's body (size weight, health). the individual's experience. the individual's mood. the circumstance in which alcohol is consumed (with food, in a social gathering, with other drugs etc.) The immediate effects of alcohol on an indi ...
