For an instant, they reminisce on their life in England, experience a surge of patriotism- the poem ends, and not even in a manner that implies the speaker’s death, but instead in a manner that leaves an impression that the speaker has risen from their stool behind the microphone, exiting stage right in order for the next poet to have their turn. “The Mother” does not carry that same sense of brevity- even…

distinction between “intending someone’s death and not intending but foreseeing it” (Vaughn, 2017). In active euthanasia, the physician is intending the patient death from the prescription pills or the injection of drugs. However, in passive euthanasia, the physician is not intending for death upon the patient. Instead, the physician only foresees the patient’s pending death as unfortunate side of effect of this situation. The physician does not intent death upon the patient, but rather…

The video is quite powerful, and an eye opener. It highlights the life of three individuals facing their death; Jim, Kitty and Ricky. There are conflicting emotions from deciding what is morally right or wrong by the dying one’s to as well as the difficulty that the dying and loved ones go through as death nears. Jim Witcher had planned out his life. In addition, he had bought a farm in Louisiana in preparation for retirement. Unfortunately, his life changed when he was diagnosed with…

This becomes morally difficult with cases such as Tracey Latimer’s, a severely physical and mentally disabled woman, whose non-voluntary assisted death was performed by her father. Though Tracy suffered physically from a variety of symptoms caused by her severe cerebral palsy and brain damage, the decision of terminating her life was not her own, and therefore would be classified as…

I will discuss the utilitarian and Kantian ideas on how they relate to the “trolley” problem scenario one and two. When a person is placed in scenario one a utilitarian would say the morally right thing to do is pull the lever to ensure only one person is killed and the five other lives are spared. Although you as the person and the family of the one person killed may suffer sadness. It is less suffering then you as the person and five other family and friends suffering. Scenario two is quite…
