I feel as if the Euthanasia should not only be the doctors, and or parents’ choice of their children’s death. If they feel that their child will never wake back up from a coma. Or if they know that their baby is in so much pain that they would rather be dead than to stay alive. Neither doctors nor parents should ever give up on them…

that will not make the patient get better is just prolonging unnecessary suffering (CITATION). They think that if there is nothing medically to benefit from the tube feeding, then patients in a coma, with no hope of recovery should never be subjected to it. Concerning the case of the 80-year old man in a coma, there are a few alternatives to solving the problem. It would have been a different case if the man had prepared an advanced directive, whether a health care proxy or a living…

As the health and safety manager, I’ve identified that workers were exposed to cadmium and lead. Cadmium is a soft malleable transition metal. It is silvery bluish-white in color.

Lead is a malleable soft heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. It bluish-white in color when freshly cut,…
