doctor. To start the process, a hopeful student must complete four years of college, focusing on math and science to fulfill pre-medical requirements in order to attend medical school for another four years. The first two years of medical school are basics, and the second two years are rotations to learn what specialty a young doctor would like to go into. After earning a medical degree from that school, a doctor must go through three to six years of residency, depending on the specialty he or…

Death is universal and everyone will face it. We don’t like to think about it, but we often do. Each individual hopes that they will die a painless and peaceful death in their sleep. However, this is not true for many unfortunate people. Certain diseases, such as aids, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and incurable tumors, as well as accidents that cause brain death or paralysis, often leaves us with unbearable physical pain or depression to the point that many would rather die than live a life of such…

used by medical providers to connect with patients through telecommunication technology.

defenseless and scared. I placed my trust in teams of medical workers who tested, wrote treatment plans, and cared for me in a way that gave me hope. Working together they healed me. I left the hospital, but the indelible memories of the compassion, empathy, and hard work of the nurses and providers never left my mind. Each one is partially responsible for the return of my health. This experience, combined with my passion for community service set me firmly on the path of pursuing a career…

Some medications and vaccines have been created in the past through this testing. A polio vaccine was the result of animal research and testing, which without, polio would still take thousands of human lives each year. “There could have been no oral polio vaccine without the use of innumerable animals, a very large number of animals,” Albert mentioned to a reporter before his demise in 1993. Multiple vaccines being created today need the animal experiments to prove them safe before supplying…

The degree to which physical pain can be tolerated is different in all humans (Humphry, “Liberty and Death…”). One could only imagine the pain they’d be in if they were constantly enduring pain spasms, losing control of organ systems, and even endless coughing (Messerli). There is no purpose in letting a human being suffer endlessly until their body decides to give out. It would be a more human choice to let the patients decide for themselves if they want to end the suffering or not. Why let…

pain than necessary. Physician assisted suicide gives the patient a sense of relief knowing when their time is up; he or she would be able to pick and choose when that time was. “Advocates believe that sick people who will be dying soon because of medical conditions should not be subjected to prolonged pain and physician-assisted suicide is the ethical way to do it” (Connect Us). Having assisted suicide legal would give patients the right to die on their terms and conditions and say when he or…
