Abortion: Life Or Death Ä Who Chooses?
... this. Those of us who
would seek to protect the human who is still to small to cry aloud for it's own
protection, have been accused of having a 19th Century approach to life in the
last third of the 20th Century. But who in reality is using arguments of a
bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible fact of biological science - Make no
Mistake - that from the moment of conception, a new human life has been created.
Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their knowledge,
can deny it: only those who are irrational or ignorant of science, doubt that
when a human sperm fertilizes a human ovum a new human being is created. A new
human being who carries ...

Opposing Euthanasia
... paper I will support my argument against euthanasia with evidence.
Euthanasia is the practice of painlessly putting to death persons who have incurable, painful, or distressing diseases or handicaps. It comes from the Greek words for "good" and "death", and is commonly called mercy killing. Voluntary euthanasia may occur when incurably ill persons ask their physician, friend or relative, to put them to death. The patients or their relatives may ask a doctor to withhold treatment and let them die. Many critics of the medical profession contend that too often doctors play God on the operating tables and in recovery rooms. They argue that no doctor should be al ...

some actions management can take to alleviate work stress.
2.0 Harmful Effects of Stress
Most research studies indicate a high correlation between stress and illness.
According to authorities in the United States and Great Britain, as much as 70%
of patients that are treated by general practitioners are suffering from
symptoms originating from stress . Everyone experiences stress, however, each
person responds to stress very differently. Their response is dependent on how
each person reacts to stress emotionally, mentally, and physically. There are,
however, common effects of stress for most people o ...

Premature Infancy
... senses and underdeveloped organs, which may
become a problem, since the brain may not be developed well enough to be able
to distinguish these different senses, which causes the baby to panic and lose
control of its actions.
The main underdeveloped parts of a premature baby are its organs,
chiefly the lungs and the brain. The lungs are developed in the last few weeks
of pregnancy, and if the child is born before the thirty sixth week, he/she may
require some special attention. Usually, the child is monitored closely for
the first few weeks of its life, in order to make sure there is no problems
with the breathing or any other function of its body. The prem ...

Biological And Chemical Weapons!!
... for military purposes. These agents could be either viral, bacterial, fungal, rickettsial or even protozoan. Biological agents are preferred over chemical agents at times because of the fact they have the potentials to mutate, reproduce, multiply and spread over an extensive geographical territory through wind, animal and insect transmission. Also, unlike chemical weapons, due to its’ lively state biological agents tend to find niches, and continue to grow exponentially without termination. Because it hardly reaches a closure, biological weapons are not widely used. Nevertheless, history states it has been used during World Wars (I & II), cold war, and last bu ...

Our World In Medicine
... important than others, almost
all of them are on call twenty - four hour a day, seven days a week. Because
they have to apply themselves to their job at all times, they are payed at very
good wages.
Human beings have been suffering from disease since they first appeared
on the earth about two and one -half million years ago. Throughout most of this
time, they knew little about how the human body works or what causes disease.
But medicine has gone through many stages throughout history.
In prehistoric times, people believed that angry gods or evil spirits
caused disease. To cure the sick, the gods had to be pacified or the evil
spirits driven from the body. I ...

Anabolic Steroids
... taken steroids are well absorbed into the stomach and they are
excreted fairly rapidly. The bad side of taking oral steroids is that they are
more toxic than injected steroids. They are highly potent, which makes the risk
of overdosing very high. Steroids that are injected are less toxic to the liver
and are less potent than oral steroids on an equal dosage basis. Injected
steroids have a delayed take up, which makes them last longer. It also allows
them to be detected in drug tests for a longer period of time.
How they work in the body:
When anabolic steroids are introduced into the body, under certain
conditions they increase: protein synthesis, lean ...

Psychology: Dreams And Dreaming
... Dream interpretations that lead you toward self-criticism,
depression or despair are simply wrong and if these conditions persist you may
wish to seek help from others. Finally, there is no such thing as a dream with
one meaning. If you feel stuck on one meaning or feel another person is pushing
one meaning, it is time to reconsider your methods and approach. (Lemley p. 17).
Clinical dream work is done within the context of psychotherapy and
clinical and sleep research have different approaches and goals than peer dream
work. (Koch-Sheras p.16).
A dream is a period of spontaneous brain activity usually lasting from
about 5-40 minutes that occurs during sleep s ...

Physician Assisted Suicide Right/Wrong
... which, in Judeo-Christian cultures, have been the most persistent and are stilll widespread. The most basic of these is that suiicide is forbidden by the Bible. In fact, there are no specific biblical instructions against suicide, only prohibitions of killing which are better interpreted as forbidding the unlawful killing of others.Besides, the suicides that do occur in the Bible-Samson,Saul and Judas among others-are not described in a disapproving manner.
Both Jewish and Christian disapproval of suicide dates from the fourth century AD, late in the development of both religons, and does not derive directly from scripture. Ironically, the Christian Church, encour ...

The Nursing Home: A Nice Place For The Elderly
... One should be able to relax and enjoy life. Nursing
homes give the elderly a chance to do just that.
Security is a primary focus in most nursing homes. Curfews exist to
insure the safety and protection of the residents. Also, busses take the
senior citizens to places of common interest, such as the grocery store and
local shopping malls. This alleviates the everyday stress of driving for those
residents who are losing some of their basic faculties, and creates a safer
driving environment for everyone. In addition, these older citizens are
protected from those con-artists who prey deliberately on the elderly.
Nursing homes are full of entertainment and ac ...
