... victim. The individual dies at a time which is forced by the killer who has intent to harm him or her. For instance, when the Boston strangler killed the women, he first terrorized them. Frequently murder is painfuland the person who is dying has not voluntarily decided to participate in his or her death. By its nature, murder is death by violence at a time of the killer's rather than nature's choosing. Unlike murder, euthanasia is not an act of violence. In an editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dr. Eric Chevlen argues that patients, who are worn down by pain, extensive testing, and depression, will be easily persuaded to seek assisted suicide ( ...

... environmental problems. Many veterinarians treat all animals, but in recent years and in the densely populated areas of the country, many have limited their practice to pets. Some specialize in the treatment of certian populations such as horses, cattle, poultry, or zoo animals. A small number of veterinarians are employed as managers of large feedlots for beef - cattle, large dairy cattle operations, and many of the increasingly large poultry farms. A few veterinarians are now becoming involved in embryo transfer work, in which fertilized eggs are removed from superior donors and transferred into the uterus of a cow of lesser genetic qualities. A minimum o ...

... affect on the abundance of sexual hormones with various scientific evidence. Two psychologists, Steven Gangestead and Randy Thornhill measured the symmetry of hundreds of men and women in college. They also asked them to complete a personal confidential survey that gave information on their health and sex lives. What they found was that the men and women with better symmetry had started having sex 3-4 years before the people with average symmetry. Gangestead and Thornhill also completed another survey involving women's responses to symmetrical men and men with average symmetry. The results were as expected. The women with symmetrical partners responded twice as ...

... bring enough cash to pay for the bill? (pause) No, it’s much worse than all of these. I’m talking about the silent killer, the murderer that travels undetected, the killer that is always there, waiting for you, hidden like a thief in the night. Who could this dangerous executioner be? SECOND HAND SMOKE! You’re probably thinking to yourself “second hand smoke? What a bunch of bs!” But it’s not. Second-hand smoking is serious. The Environmental Protection Agency found classified second hand smoke to be a Class A Carcinogen, meaning that is proven to cause cancer in humans. Second hand smoke kills more than 3,800 people each year in the United States alone. ...

... years the prevalence of asthma in America has increased 60 percent, especially in children. Asthma kills about 5000 per year, and almost a third of those affected are children under 18. Only in the past few years have scientists began to understand the causes and triggers of asthma, linking the disease to autosomal dominant genes on the chromosomes 5,6, 11, 12 and 14, but especially number 5. (Figure 1) Many different triggers are associated with asthma, most commonly when airborne irritants such as pet dander, cigarette smoke, plant pollen and mold spores (and even fecal matter from dust mites and cockroaches), signal a hyperresponsiveness in the airway, ...

... one was in fourteenth century Europe. is believed to have begun in China in the 1330’s plague. Through trade the disease reached Italy in 1347 and spread throughout the rest of Europe. The plague is spread fleas that infect rats. The rats tended to live in areas that are unclean. Unfortunately medieval society in general was unclean. It was even considered unhealthy to take baths. The results of the plague were devastating. Heavily populated areas such as major cities were the hardest hit. By 1350 a third of Europe’s entire population, about 25 million people, was dead. People tried numerous methods to stop the spread of the plague. They used leeches, coal ...

... assortment of toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, acrolein, hydrogen cyanide, and nitrogen oxides, to name just a few(Ginzel 1-2). After analyzing some of the statistics one may ask, “Why should students be aloud to enjoy a cigarette at the expense of others?” I interviewed several nonsmoking students and asked their opinion on the subject; Maria Malaka, a first year student at SPJC stated, “I hate when people smoke near me, it makes me sick!”. Just about every nonsmoker I asked had close to the same opinion. Of the 24 students I interviewed 5 were smokers. Why should so many of us have to suffer for a small percent of students to reap the benef ...

... that originally produced the fear. There is no real reason why some people become phobic: it can spontaneously happen to anyone at anytime, yet can be treated. There are nine sources, all of which will be useless in developing the thesis, that include five articles, three books, and a dictionary. Five articles, namely “When fear takes over”. “Everyone does it”, “Social Anxiety”, “The fight to conquer fear”, and “Adam: A Child's Courageous Battle Against Mental Illness.” Will be of no value in supporting the thesis. The facts in these sources are almost scarcely useful in supporting the thesis. However, the first article completely discusses a persons stru ...
