Current Suicide Risk Assessment
JM endorsed current SI with a plan but denied intent. He noted onset of SI was two months ago following the loss of his job. He endorsed frequency of SI as every couple of days. His SI tends to be fleeting (last a few minutes) but tends to be active because he has a plan (hanging himself with a rope in the rafter of his garage). JM's thoughts on wanting to die appeared when JM thinks about the conversion when he lost his job. JM endorsed that his SI was intense (rated intensity as a 7 on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest). JM has endorsed that his intent was a 4 on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. JM has identified reasons for living, including love

    Did They, Didn’t They?: A Question of Suicide in the 1800’s Evansville, Indiana has changed drastically over the past 130 years, and as the city, along with the rest of the world, changes, so do the structures of many occupations. One such occupation that has changed would be that of the coroner, which is now primarily called a medical examiner. While the office of the coroner has always been an elected position, the requirements to fulfill the position have changed radically since then, thanks to the introduction of forensic medicine. They have become more restricted and refined in the way that decisions are made.…

    Should we let die, or let live and suffer is a moral dilemma that arises when it comes to the case of Jahi McMath. Jahi McMath is a thirteen-year-old female who was declared dead by doctors after having a tonsillectomy in an Oakland hospital in California in 2014. After what was supposed to be one of three routine surgeries for sleep apnea, Jahi suffered post-surgical complications after a tonsillectomy which left her brain dead, and on mechanical life support. Doctors at the hospital determined that Jahi’s cerebral cortex had stopped functioning, and that her brain stem was destroyed after she endured her complications, and in their opinion, she should be left to die. In the 1980, Uniform determination of Death Act, death is defined as “the irreversible cessation of all…

    Overall, I think that Dr. Kevorkian was doing nothing but his job. With approval from Mr. Youk’s closest family members, I do not see how this procedure could have affected anyone else besides the small party involved. Although an observer may not have agreed with Dr. Kevorkian’s specific line of work, unless it is them or their family member who is ill, I do not see how anyone should have a right to voice their opinion to the point where it causes legal action such as confinement- when no felony has taken place. Nonetheless, the only objection I had when reading this case was the fact that Michigan law stated there wasn't allowance of assisted suicide; however, I do not know the back story with why this procedure couldn't have been moved over…
