Euthanasia: When Life Is To Be Feared More Than Death
.... patient alive, and thus allows the patient to die naturally. Euthanasia ends pain mercifully and easily. It is used when the pain of degradation of life or the pain of a terminal disease is greater than the pain of death. In these cases death is not the nightmare experienced in war, but rather an alternative to endless pain. “At times we must look at death as a welcome release from an untenable life. Death need not be a source of horror. It can be freedom, a release from agony”.
This observation by Dr. Milton D. Heifetz encompasses the purpose of euthanasia: to provide “a welcome release from an untenable life”. There are two .....

Abortion And Euthanasia: A Significant Difference
.... of birth control and birth selection can extend to the problems of death selection and death control whether by the individual or society. However, the theories of ‘birth’ and ‘death’ are by far two very separate concepts. It is true that birth must occur for death to happen, yet the rationalizing behind each are very different. The physical and mental factors and circumstances involved with abortion are quite separate from the factors behind active euthanasia; thus one cannot in anyway be expected to share similar thoughts on both. Abortion essentially involves killing of an unwanted fetus with a potential life ahead of it. .....

Teenage Abortion
.... parents or receive consent from them before having an abortion. The United States Supreme Court first declared these types of laws constitutional in 1979.
Legally, The Parental Notification Act, is constitution and is reasonable, however there are many arguments as to the downside of this new law. If minors are allowed to make any other major medical decisions during their pregnancies and can even decide to give up there babies for adoption, how can they not be given the right to have an abortion. The state argues that the minor can go though a bypass team in order to abort the baby. The law could dangerously delay abortions. .....

Pros And Cons Of Abortion
.... before we get into the many sides of abortion we must first define abortion. Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mothers womb. This can be done by almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley abortions and even to abortions by clinics set up especially for this purpose.
There are two sides to this abortion topic the PRO-LIFE which is those who are against abortion altogether and the PRO-CHOICE or those who believe it is the womans right to choose if she wants to have an abortion. These two groups offer different solutions to problem. The pro-life solution is to .....

Abortion Is Murder
.... through this agonizing pain.
In truth abortion is the wrongful murder of a helpless and innocent human life. The right to abortion sends a message to people that says you can do away with things you do not want to deal with and not suffer any consequences- in this case even a human life.
It's odd that the same liberals that have a problem with eating meat and wearing furs try to sell us the idea that abortion is some kind of choice. They worry aobut ending the life of a cow or mink. We are expected to accept the murder of thousands of children as a choice.
What gives us the right to decide who should live and who should die .....

The Two Sides Dealing With Abortion
.... of factors are involved in what people believe. Some factors that might influence whether a person are Pro-Life or Pro-Choice is the individuals up-bringing, personal experiences and religion.
I am one of the people who agree, to a certain extent, with both sides. I am mainly on the Pro-Choice point of view, but there are some types of abortion that I do not agree with. I believe people should have a right to choose what happens with their bodies, but I also believe people should be responsible for their actions and not go out and get pregnant or get someone pregnant thinking it is okay to take the child's life. I believe th .....

Spontaneous And Induced Abortions
.... medical techniques exist for performing abortions. During the first trimester (up to about 12 weeks after conception), endometrial aspiration, suction, or curettage may be used to remove the contents of the uterus. In endometrial aspiration, a thin, flexible tube is inserted up the cervical canal (the neck of the womb) and then sucks out the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) by means of an electric pump.
In the related but slightly more onerous procedure known as dilatation and evacuation (also called suction curettage, or vacuum curettage), the cervical canal is enlarged by the insertion of a series of metal dilators while .....

Alcoholism
.... they have no exposure to drinking parents.
Next, the effects of alcohol on the human body depend on the amount of alcohol in the blood. The higher the alcohol content of the beverage, the more alcohol will enter the bloodstream. The amount and type of food in the stomach also affect the absorption rate; drinking when the stomach is filled is less intoxicating, because foods delay alcohol absorption rate. Studies indicate that sex is a factor. Excessive drinking that may range from five to thirty years has an effect on the organ systems. The parts of the body most affected by heavy drinking are the digestive and nervous systems. .....

Sexual Abuse And Repressed Memories
.... to retrieve right-brain information through left-brain techniques, they sometimes hit a blank (Bass 71). Psychologists also state that forgetting is one of the most common and effective ways children deal with sexual abuse. Many children are able to forget about the abuse, even as it is happening (Bass 42). There is credible data on the reconstructive nature of memory, social influence, and the power of therapy to produce conformity in the patient. The techniques that are used in uncovering sexual abuse memories include direct questioning, hypnosis, age regression, massage therapy, dream interpretation, and attending surviv .....

Emergency Visits On The Rise
.... up in the waiting room for hours, and for the homeless patients, the know that their chances of getting a real bed is higher if they come in the emergency room. Eighty-nine percent of all emergency patient thought they need to be seen immediately, but less than forty three percent of these patients requires care within twenty four hours. The other fifty five percent was just a false alarm, an example of this is a sixty years old man has chest pain thinking that it could be related to a heart attack, he goes to the emergency room and found out that it was just indigestion.
Not all emergency visits are false alarm, really did no .....

The Uses Of Marijuana
.... methanol, methane, or gasoline. Fuels made from this plant are known as biomass fuels. These fuels are virtually free from metals and sulfur, so they don't cause nearly as much pollution as fossil fuels. It may one day replace gasoline. With wanting to conserve the forests, hemp is an alternative to paper. The problem with pulp paper is there are so many chemicals used to make it, which are very harmful to our environment. With hemp we are able to make environmentally safe paper for all our needs without the use of chemicals. Also when trees are harvested the minerals are taken with them, when harvesting hemp the mineral .....

Memory
.... damage. Adults who were sexually abused in childhood are at a higher risk for developing a variety of psychiatric disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and mood disorders. To understand the essential issues about traumatic memory, the human mind’s response to a traumatic event must first be understood. The memory is made up of many different sections with each having different consequences on one another.
Can people remember what they were wearing three days ago? Most likely no, because the memory only holds on to what is actively remembered. What a person was wearing is not important so it is thrown out and forgo .....
