... after they were diagnose as terminally ill, is a memory of a person lying there helpless, not able to feed themselves, get out of bed, or talk to you. One notable euthanasia case would be Sue Rodrigous. She had a disease known as Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS, which is a rare incurable disease of the nervous system. ALS gradually destroys the nerves that control the muscles. The results of which are weakness, paralysis, and eventually death. That is what Sue Rodrigous was suffering from for well over a year.

... 2 years. between the ages of 6 and 13 years a second (and permanent) set of teeth sequentially replaces the first. Between the ages of 18 and 21 years, 4 molars called wisdom teeth emerge. The 20 primary teeth -4 central incisors, 4 canines (cuspids), and 8 molars- begin to develop pior to birth. They are eventually replaced- beginning around the age of 6 -by 32 permanent teeth.: 4 central incisors, 4 lateral incisors, 4 cuspids, 8 bicuspids (premolars), and 12 molars. The 4 wisdom teeth develop after the other 8 molars, as the jaws increase in size. If this increase is insufficient, the wisdom teeth may become impa ...

... explaining the health risks to the people that practice this is, because whenever you have people that believe enough in something to base their entire life around it, there is nothing you can do or say that will get them to change; it would be like talking to a wall. They will only change when the people themselves that live by these traditions get fed up with all the side-effects caused by the practice of FGM. It is every person and community's right to decide for themselves, without the intervention of outsiders, to decide to do whatever they want to do to their bodies and minds. I know, "these women that ...

... to see this new genetic power as a dangerous drawback, rather than an advancement of human culture. One of the most highly contested and objectionable topics of genetic power is the analysis of crime, violence, and impulsivity. Doubtless, most will agree that children are not born with a natural affinity for violence and crime; yet, new genetic studies are beginning down a long road of finding the hereditary basis for impulsivity. While these studies continue to search for the genetic source of aggression, child testing programs, drug manufacturers, civil rights activists, lawyers, and anxious citizens await the ...

... who is shown as a dromedary with complete style has been attacked by many Tobacco-Free Kids organizations as a major influence on the children of America. Dr. Lonnie Bristow, AMA (American Medical Association) spokesman, remarks that "to kids, cute cartoon characters mean that the product is harmless, but cigarettes are not harmless. They have to know that their ads are influencing the youth under 18 to begin smoking"(Breo). Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia report that almost as many 6-year olds recognize Joe Camel as know Mickey Mouse (Breo). That is very shocking information for any parent to hear ...

... With the rise of organized religion, euthanasia became morally and ethically abhorrent. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all hold human life sacred and condemn euthanasia in any form. Following traditional religious principles, Western laws have generally considered the act of helping someone to die a form of homicide subject to legal sanctions. Even a passive withholding of help to prevent death has frequently been severely punished. Euthanasia, however, occurs secretly in all societies, including those in which it is held to be immoral and illegal. Organizations supporting the legalization of vol ...

... have been born. For these reasons, I support the Pro-Choice movement. We all know America as the "land of the free", as sung daily by many in "The Star Spangled Banner". Knowing that many women's autonomy has been taken away, how can we, Americans, who claim to be people of liberty, say the words of "The Star Spangled Banner" in good conscience? Females have been told what to do with and how to treat their bodies. If the right to self-determination is taken away, what will be decided for us next? What we can wear? What we can read and what we can say? Possibly even how we can act? This is not the Ameri ...

... falls over quite. Philip screams with all his might, Catches at the cloth, but then That makes matters worse again. Down upon the ground they fall, Glasses, plates, knives, forks and all. How Mama did fret and frown, When she saw them tumbling down! And Papa made such a face! Philip is in sad disgrace… Until the early 20th century, patients with Attention Deficit Disorder were concidered stupid and lazy. At this point medicine and psychology begin to study the causes for people to have reduced attention spans. The studies of the disorder quickly lead to both chemical differences and genenic links observed i ...

... diet is changing. The growing mainstream status of vegetarianism is reflected in recent articles in popular magazines. For example, Newsweek, in 1986, referred to our healthier eating habits as "vegetarian chic," and Time, in 1988, praised the new vegetarian preferences of health-conscious young adults. Indeed, many individuals have stopped eating meat for health reasons, although some have also been influenced by the animal liberation movement, religious beliefs, concerns about world hunger, or an awareness of the environmental damage caused by livestock production. But whatever their motives,one thing is clear: Ve ...
