Teenage Suicide
.... losses, and abuse can
promote suicidal tendencies.
Few suicidal people have some type of depression, yet those who have one
can be provoked to commit suicide. There are two main types of depression
suffered by suicidal people("Suicide," {Grolier}). The first type is reactive
depression. This type of depression is the reaction of a difficult and often
traumatic experience. Endogenous depression is the second type of depression.
It is the result of a mental illness which is diagnosable by a professional.
Some suicidal people have a combination of both reactive depression and
endogenous depression. Others could have a depre .....

the end the law was still standing. If our leaders are divided we could say that
the citizens of Australia would have been divided on this Issue. Maybe a
referendum would have been appropriate, but still euthanasia would still occur
illegal and secrecy.
Christian groups and Christian have strongly supported their view on euthanasia ,
they have seen it as a sin. For a Christian his life is not just his because his
life is part of god's. In the Bible, chapter of (Romans 14:18) it states "If we
live ,we are responsible to the Lord and when we die we are responsible to the
Lord. Both in life and death w .....

Euthanasia: A Question Of Ethics
.... cure.
Perhaps the most familiar contemporary medical example is the treatment of burn
victims when survival is unprecedented; if with the treatments or without them
the chances of the patient's survival is nil, mercy requires the physician not
to impose the debridement treatments , which are excruciatingly painful, when
they can provide the patient no benefit at all. Although the demands of mercy
in burn contexts have become fairly well recognized in recent years, other
practises that the principles of mercy would rule out remain common. For
instance, repeated cardiac resuscitation is sometimes performed even though a
patient's .....

The Controversial Issue Of Doctor-Assisted Suicide
.... depandant on others. The
government thinks that they know what is best for the people. If everyone is
an individuall, how can the government know what is best for everyone. I feel
that people shold make up thir own minds about what is best for them. Joshua
Haney worote an article on assisted suicide. He says, "Everyday we make choices
that decide our fate and future. We choose where we work, what we eat and drink,
etc. This is just one more choice that we are making. I we take away this
right from people we are taking steps towards taking away other rights. Would
it be morally right to allow that person to suffer in pain .....

Euthanasia
.... can die quickly, painlessly, with dignity. Most doctors are trained to try
their best to defeat death, or at least try to delay it as long as possible. But
if the patient is hopelessly ill, and would prefer to die, the doctor may
consult the hospital ethics committee, and take him or her off of life support.
When taken to court in these issues, the doctors defend themselves in saying, "I
didn't kill him, I let him die." This is illegal throughout the United States
and the rest of the world, but it still is a common occurrence.
The second type, "passive voluntary euthanasia," is done when a
terminally ill patient's .....

Euthanasia: An Overview
.... I
will mention only for the purposes of refuting them. First, many cite the
Hippocratic oath which reads, "I will give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked,
nor suggest any such counsel" as a reason to oppose euthanasia. Clearly, the
Hippocratic oath does condemn the practice, however, I do not find this as
reason enough to reject the moral permissibility of euthanasia. If the premise
of the oath is flawed (i.e., if it is morally permissible for a physician to
assist in suicide), then a physician should not be prohibited from assisting in
suicide simply because of an oath. Indeed, if it is proven (as will be done
later in th .....

.... of the supporters. I shall attempt to prove that, yes,
euthanasia should be legal. There is a strong opposition against the
legalization of euthanasia. The main argument against the legality of
euthanasia is sometimes known as the slippery slope argument. People argue that
if euthanasia was legally permitted, it would lead to a general decline in the
respect for human life. It is professed that we would kill people in the
beginning simply to put them out of extreme agony. This is the ideal. But the
opposition states that the killing of people wouldn't stop here. The killing
could perhaps escalate to mass murder of inno .....

Euthanasia

medicine has evolved by leaps and bounds recently, euthanasia resets these
medical advances back by years and reduces today's Medical Doctors to

Euthanasia defined
The term Euthanasia is used generally to refer to an easy or painless
death. Voluntary euthanasia involves a request by the dying patient or that
person's legal representative. Passive or negative euthanasia involves not
doing something to prevent death—that is, allowing someone to die; active or
positive euthanasia involves taking deliberate action to cause a death.
Euthanasia is often mistaken or associated with fo .....

James Rachels' Death And Dying

cancer? Is it moral to let that person suffer? These are some of the many
questions people have been trying to answer for year without success.
Euthanasia is a very uncomfortable subject to talk about for most people
because who wants to think about having to kill oneself or a person that is dear
to his or her life. Even though nobody wants to go through the hardship of
deciding whether a person should live or die, it happens everyday. There are
two forms of euthanasia. There is an active euthanasia and a passive euthanasia
(Jussim 7-13). This so-called distinction between active and passive was

Suicide In Las Vega

tourists taking their own lives surrounded by the glamour of the Strip comprise
only a small percentage of the fatalities. The bulk are those who moved here for
jobs, who live just beyond the lights. Eight times as many residents kill
themselves here as do visitors.
Second, I am told that in Las Vegas I will feel more alive. Anything can be had
here; this is the last place before the millennium where real money can be made.
An open season: anything goes; like America used to be. My friends in Los
Angeles, who seem to know such things, say forget about winning. This is the
town where you get to stub your cigarette .....

Laws Against Assisted Suicide In Canada

the most prominent being those related to Dr. "Death" Kevorkian. We don't often
think on what a terminally ill person might be like. They might be suffering
from Lou Gehrig's Disease. They might be suffering from multiple sclerosis. They
might be suffering from any number of other types of injuries and diseases. What
we don't think about are the cases that bring out our most empathetic feelings.
Take the case of one Christine Busalacchi, who was so severely injured
in an accident that she now lives in what her father calls a "persistent
vegetative condition." Vegetati .....
