... assumption by the subject of a state of consciousness wholly dissimilar to either wakefulness or sleep, during which attention is withdrawn from the outside world and is concentrated on mental, sensory, and physiological experiences. When a hypnotist induces a trance, a close relationship or rapport develops between operator and subject. The responses of subjects in the trance state, and the phenomena or behavior they manifest objectively, are the product of their motivational set; that is, behavior reflects what is being sought from the experience. Most people can be easily hypnotized. The depth of trance, however, will vary from a light state close to waking, to ...

... however if it was translated directly from the original Hebrew version, it is: "Thou shall not MURDER." Murder is defined in dictionaries as the UNLAWFUL killing of a person with malice and aforethought. This quote demonstrates the murderer deserves the death penalty and it was his own fault for putting himself on death row. While committing the crime, the criminal had no intentions of being caught, and knew that what he was doing was wrong. There is not enough evidence to prove whether capital punishment deters crime. However, a study by W. Bailey of the period from 1967-68 showed a deterrent effect in twenty-seven states. A later study by him showed a deterrent e ...

... Immune Defficiency Disease. It is caused by a virus. The disease originated somewhere in Africa about 20 years ago. There it first appeared as a mysterious ailment afflicting primarily heterosexuals of both sexes. It probably was spread especially fast by primarily female prostitutes there. AIDS has already become a crisis of STAGGERING proportions in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it is estimated that over twenty percent of the adults currently carry the virus. That figure is increasing. And what occurred there will, if no cure is found, most likely occur here among heterosexual folks. AIDS was first seen as a disease of gay males ...

... At the scene many preliminary examinations are used to aid in determination of cause of death. Some of these include the following: pronounce victim(s) dead, look for external injuries, stage of rigor mortis, take body temperature to determine time of death, examine area around body, determine how and when the body will be moved, and make preliminary sketches and notes. There are numerous ways a person can die. A forensic pathologist's main role is to figure out how a victim died. First they look at the proximate cause of death. That is the initial injury that led to a sequence of events which caused the death of the victim. Second they look at immediate ...

... the years this has obviously been the thinking of our nation because abortion remains legal (Bill Clinton is Pro-Choice). This is also the thinking of many woman's rights movements and organizations. From reading a paper on Pro-Choice it states as its heading that abortion should be a woman's right to choose what she does with her body, and it should not be altered or influenced by anyone else. This right is guaranteed by the ninth amendment, which contains the right to privacy. This brings up a very interesting point, which is that the ninth amendment is a strong argument in the fight for Pro-Choice. It states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of ...

... denied to someone by the government, undoubtedly something very wrong. It is such the case with making abortions illegal. By outlawing abortions, you are outlawing a woman's choice for how she will live her life. The government has in a sense become a "big brother" and has decided what is good for her and what is not. When government goes beyond foreign affair and the protection of it's citizens, into the controlling of lives and decisions that we make, it is no longer a government. It becomes something that goes against every single principle and idea that this country was founded upon. It becomes a vacuum of freedom, slowly sucking our rights away until we a ...

... Science, in my view had done something great without looking into the possibilities of where this would lead. I believe Djerassi, similar to most scientists of his day, was so entranced by the excitement of synthesizing his product and achieving his goal that he did not stop to think of the ramifications of his accomplishment. The ethical dilemma was not explored before hand, and this to me is the great tragedy of most scientific discovery, since I firmly believe each scientist is responsible for that which he creates. Djerassi does confront a few questions of ethics and morality after the fact. On page 61, in chapter 6, he reflects on the argument of the use of ...

... of the disease diphtheria. History and Background No bacterial disease of humans has been as successfully studied as diphtheria. The etiology, mode of transmission, pathogenic mechanism and molecular basis of exotoxin structure, function, and action have been clearly established. Consequently, highly effective methods of treatment and prevention of diphtheria have been developed. The study of Corynebacterium diphtheriae traces closely the development of medical microbiology, immunology and molecular biology. Many contributions to these fields, as well as to our understanding of host-bacterial interactions, have been made studying diphtheria and the diphtheria to ...

... settings and are in most cases not therapeutic to the Alzheimer’s or dementia resident. Many of these regulations border on abusive for the dementia patient (Johnson 11). Some nursing homes are beginning to respond to this growing issue by developing distinct units, innovative in their design and operations. These new units are dementia special care units and are necessary to the treatment and well being of a resident with Alzheimer’s disease or a related forms of dementia. In order to understand what benefits a person will receive from a special care unit, we must first examine what dementia is. When most people think of Alzheimer’s disease and related demen ...
