... Hallucinations-are false sensory experiments.Most schizophrenics fall victim to auditory hallucinations,but some of these hallucinations are also visual.Some of the "voices" these patients hear,are related to the patients emotional problems,while others are just jumbled messages. Location and Occurrence Schizophrenia occurs in all cities and countries.All social classes are affected,but in the larger cities schizophrenia is three to four times more common in the lower classes,than in the middle and upper classes.Doctors say this difference is due in part to the downward social status of people developing the disease."Schizo" occ ...

... self-examination. But how effective is the self-exam, and other forms of early detection, and does it really help to save women from the disease? This is a question I hope to address in the following research. Self examinations are the most commonly used tests used for detecting breast cancer among women today. The self exam is a simple exam that women can perform on their own with a few simple steps. Another way of detecting breast cancer is with a mammography. This is an X-ray that scans in make up of the breast to show whether there are and tumors. This is the most effective type of detection to date. (Cancer Facts, Detection.

... 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. Someone I know says he smoked banana peels once but he was "tripping" on 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 and he sasys it only gave him a little bit of a headache. Scientists s ...

... assessor, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a.k.a. "Doctor Death," discussing your "options." However, according to an editorial published in The Washington Post, entitled "38 Assisted Suicides," many people believe that when it comes to matters such as life and death, there are no options. The decision to live or die is made by God. Judith Curren didn't agree. With the assistance of Dr. Kevorkian, she died and the retired pathologist presided at his 38th assisted suicide, fairly confident that he will not be prosecuted or even suffer public disapproval. Many of the people who have sought out Dr. Kevorkian have been terribly ill and suffering, with no hope of long-te ...

... desirable, to intervene (with decidedly unnatural technology) in the "natural" process of death when it results in extending life, but intolerable and morally abhorrent when we act to speed the patient to his or her unavoidable death? Certain members of society see active euthanasia as "killing," where passive euthanasia is viewed in the more favorable light of "letting one die". My question is this: how are the two morally different? Examine the following case: Perry L. was a nineteen-year-old who played in a local band, loved the outdoors, and planned to become a doctor. One night in 1989 while driving a skidoo he ran headlong into a ...

... if you have to put the baby up for adoption later you should still have it. Although some of the reasoning that pro-life activist use, might seem a little ridiculous at times many of the activist aren't able to have children or are just trying to defend a baby that can't defend it self. The pro's of pro-life are that the baby gets a chance to live and experience life outside of the womb and maybe someone who is unable to have children will get the chance to be a mother or father if they adopt this child who would have been aborted. The opposing side takes a different side to the argument. The pro side of legalizing abortion is known as pro-choice which i ...

In this system, small vessels join to form larger vessels the largest vessel, the pulmonary vein carries blood to the left side of the heart back into the body tissues. The Larynx is a hollow chamber in which the voice is produced, at the upper part of the windpipe; it is also called the voice box. It leads from the lower portion of the pharynx to the trachea and is next to esophagus, behind the skin and connective tissue of the throat. The larynx is supported by ligaments from the hyoid bone, at the base of the tongue. Going into the trachea The trachea, is a section of respiratory tract in the neck, extending ...

... the life by undesireable treatment, it may be classified as rational suicide. The term "euthanasia" means "good health" or "well dying"; it is derived from the Greek "eu" and "thanatos". In its classical sense, it is a descriptive term referring to an easy death as opposed to an agonizing or tormented dying. In Greek literature, euthanasia connoted a "happy death, an ideal and coveted end to a full and pleasant life." The concern to die well is as old as humanity itself, for the questions surrounding death belong to the essence of being human. All people die, but apparently only people know they are to die. They live with the truth that life is un ...

... is incurable (Hentoff, p.10). If a person has a despairing disease such as AIDS, that person may not want to live the rest of their short life with all the pain and frustration. Next, the terminally ill might injure their body even more by taking up the decision in their own hands. Offering help in assisted suicides to the fatally ill would prevent anything like this from happening. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals created a law that prohibited physicians from helping their patients die (Lemonick, p.82). Now, patients who are terminally ill and who wish to die might decide to kill themselves in a manner that is less humane than with a lethal inje ...

... for the lifetime of one child for medical and educational needs. To sum up the article, this quote is a valuable one to remember in regard to FAS, "A child hurt in utero is not just a damaged baby, but a damaged human for the rest of their lives." Black, Susan. 1993. "Born At Risk". Executive Educator. pp 30-31. This article contained shocking descriptions from delivery room doctors and nurses concerning babies born with FAS. Because alcohol drunk by a pregnant mother passes through her bloodstream to the placenta and into the baby's bloodstream, and the fetal metabolism is fifty percent slower than the mother's, the effects of the alcohol stay with the ...
