Euthanasia: When Life Is To Be Feared More Than Death
... keep injecting drugs and performing small operations to keep the patient alive, only to lengthen his suffering? As in the case of the irreversibly comatose patient, euthanasia is not only morally justified, it is the only alternative for those truly concerned with the patient’s welfare.

If both parents carry the gene responsible for the disease, they have a one-in-four chance of having an affected child. In 1989, the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was identified on chromosome 7 (out of 23 chromosomes). Since that time more than 200 ...

... that sticks out from the side
of the head. It acts like a funnel catching sound and sending it to the middle
portion of the ear. The middle portion contains the ear drum and the connection
between the pharynx and the drum, the Eustachian tube. The inner ear contains
the sensory receptors for hearing which are enclosed in a fluid filled chamber
called the cochlea. The outer and middle ears purposes are only to receive and
amplify sound. Those parts ofd the ear are only present in amphibians and
mammals, but the inner ear is present in all vertebrates.

Philosophy - Abortion Rectitude
... human animal.
Since we are currently the most intelligent beings on earth, we use
our critical thinking capabilities to selectively choose what should be
morally acceptable and what should be deemed unacceptable. To the best of
our knowledge, we as humans are the only species in existence that wrestle
with moral dilemmas. Absolute morality that will be agreed upon by the
majority of a society is extremely difficult to determine since each
individual has the ability to decide for themselves what is morally
acceptable. It is because of this decision that our American culture
intensely debates issues of mor ...

... disease is transmitted by the way of direct contact with
the secretions of mucos membranes such as those of the urethra, cervix, vagina,
anus, eyes and throat.
The contact involved in transmitting gonorrhea is almost always
sexual in nature. It is possible that contaminated fingers can transfer
infection from one region of the body to another, however, this is highly
unlikely because the bacteria dies rapidly when demed the warmth and moisture of

In males, gonorhea usually strikes fi ...

Why I Believe In Voluntary Euthanasia
... have
tried to popularize the term 'self-deliverance' but it is an uphill battle
because the news media is in love with the words 'assisted suicide'. Also,
we have to face the fact that the law calls all forms of self-destruction
'suicide.'
Let me point out here for those who might not know it that suicide is
no longer a crime anywhere in the English-speaking world. (It used to be,
and was punishable by giving all the dead person's money and goods to the
government.) Attempted suicide is no longer a crime, although under health
laws a person can in most states be forcibly placed in a psychiatric
hospital for th ...

Smoking Banana Peels
... to the ' Berkeley Barb ' and explained how to
smoke a banana peel to get high. First you have to peel the banana peel and then
scrape the white material that is next to the peel out . You then must put this
white material in the oven at 200 Degrees C. until it is dry then roll it into a
cigarette. A bunch of other hippie papers copied the instructions and it became
a craze and even TIME and NEWSWEEK wrote about it.

mushrooms at the time so he didn't know if it made him high or not. A friend of
mine tried smoking banana peels recently an ...
