Compassion & Choices

Hugh V. McLachlan tackles this question in his piece “Bodies, Rights, and Abortion” where he contends the idea of not owning one’s body simply because others say that you cannot. McLachlan mentions : “that talk of ownership of one’s person rather than of one’s body is absurd. A person cannot be distinguished here from what the person is being said to own,” hence displaying how unethical and enological it is for women in America to be expected to adhere to the laws that are not made to benefit…

THEORETICAL SUMMARY - DONALD TRUMP’S ORDER TO REINSTITUTE A POLICY BARRING ANY RECIPIENT OF U.S ASSISTANCE FROM PERFORMING ABORTIONS ABROAD WITH MONEY THEY RECEIVE FROM NON-U.S : Any international organization receiving U.S. funds for health programs will now be required to certify that it does not provide abortion services, counselling, referrals or information or advocate for the liberalization of abortion laws, even with non-U.S. funds. If they don’t, their funding will be cut off.…

SURVEYS AND ASSESSMENTS Career, personality, educational interest, and professional assessment surveys are widely used tools to help individuals determine options that fit their personality. The student that seeks to balance their passion with their potential to earn, the jobseeker that is unhappy in their current role, and wants a better professional match. Regardless of why an assessment is taken, participants are able to use these assessments as a way to learn more about themselves.…

Public value, or the value an organization contributes to society is a key judge of the effectiveness of organizations. Value is determined by what the public prefers. An organization is tasked with the role to manage and adapt assets in order to best maximize public value. As both the public and non-profit sectors perform in an environment that undergoes persistent change and imposes resource limitations, it is imperative that strategists use a framework that increases value. The Strategic…

Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” both depict how choices have a major impact on life. Both poems are about a person traveling in the woods who are forced to choose a path in life. The speaker in both poems goes through two different decision-making processes due to age and principles. In the “Road Not Taken” the poet chooses a path of individualism due to his young age and lack of responsibility to anyone, while the speaker in the “Stopping by Woods…

topic to discuss because it deals with two very fundamental human rights: the right to life and the right to free will. Much of the issue surrounding this topic is reliant on the fact that religion and personal privacy conflict with each other. Pro choice advocates argue that the option of exercising an abortion is solely up to the family and the government has no jurisdiction to get involved in such sensitive decisions. Meanwhile, pro life supporters place heavy emphasis on morality and…

all weekend, but I could never bring myself to accomplish anything. I know I was under a lot of stress from my other classes at that time, but I had the option to put more work into that piece. Instead, I decided those nights that it was a better choice to sit on the couch and binge watch my favorite shows. Due to this decision, my essay was raw and unedited. It also dismissed some of the authors far too hastily, and did not give them the respect they…

Transferring History Through Generations History happens every day and many monumental moments can happen in one lifetime. In a lifetime, the experiences gained can have a huge effect on how the event is remembered. As time goes on and people get older, plenty of information can be lost. With history being taught to all kids from grade school to college it is interesting to reflect on how well the information is learned and retained. Since history is the main way for us to carry on information…

Introduction The case of Terri Schiavo brought attention to the debate over the right-to-die. On both sides of the debate, people from around the world, including the Vatican, weighed in with their opinion and viewpoints. There was no correct answer and no easy answer about if Terri Schiavo should live, with the requirements of extensive long-term care, or if she should die, presuming her informal conversation she had with Michael Schiavo about life-saving and prolonging were enough to make the…

For a logical response to Jerome’s androcentric criticism of women practicing free will and control over their own bodies, one could look to Beverly Harrison, a professor of Christian Ethics. Harrison defends women’s rights to their own bodies, stating that abortion could be considered not only “morally justifiable,” but “a moral good, because it is not rational to treat a newly fertilized ovum as though it had the same value as an existent, pregnant, female person.“ She goes on to say,…
