Euthanasia device

Judith Jarvis Thomson wrote the article Turning the Trolley in order to refute Philippa Foot’s principle about killing and letting die. In Foot’s point of view, there are two duties, one of which is negative duty of noninterference, and the other duty is positive duty of goods and services. According to Foot, when there is a conflict between two duties, the negative duty of noninterference can overrule the positive duty of goods and services. In her example, letting five people die is…

Human Sacrifice surprisingly occurs more often than one thinks, being practiced throughout many generations and continues to be practiced today. “The Practice of Human Sacrifice” by Dr. Mike Parker-Pearson, looks further into the obscure topic ranging from 5,000 years ago to present. The short story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, is set in an agricultural village in Europe where the townsfolk gather every June 26th to sacrifice one person for their crops. It's becoming clearer that almost…

Ivy Meredith is a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Bridgepointe Health Campus. She deals with death from time to time as a part of her job. During this devastating time, she must prepare the death certificate and call for the funeral services to come get the body. While she waits for the funeral service, she will do a physical assessment of the patient’s condition. She will notify their family and physician of the death. She will also document the findings of her assessment and notification in…

One may say my client, Justine Moritz, is undoubtedly guilty for the unlawful act og murdering young William Frankenstein.But if you take a closer look and examine all pieces of evidence then the truth is clear. Justine is not guilty for the senseless murder of William. Her life should not end because of a loose guess based upon the situation and situation alone. Justine had always been close with the Frankenstein’s for the majority of her life so it would be easy for one to suspect her right…

with a purpose to end their sufferings never was an unambiguous. Although the idea of euthanasia originated long time ago, the traditional medical ethics includes a prohibition since Hippocrates’ time until nowadays. “I neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, no make a suggestion to his effect” (Whose right to Die, page 2). Nevertheless, today the doctors have to bring up the question of euthanasia more frequently, at least then when a patient asks for a death himself. How should…

The survival lottery is a system where a computer will choose a suitable donor at random. The donor will be killed at the cost of two or more lives so his/her organs can be given to dying people in need of a transplant. Harris argues that Utilitarians have to be in favor of this system. Utilitarians care about the increase of utils, or overall happiness. They decide what decision they are going to make by analyzing what situation will result in the greatest amount of utils. Utilitarians would…

Question C The concept of medicalization was one that I didn’t understand right away. At first, I didn’t understand why interest and research from medical professionals was inherently bad, but I’ve come to understand that that’s not what medicalization is. Medicalization is not only objectifying in a lot of ways, but it also can alienate people from their own bodies. In the case of trans people, medicalization has turned the trans identity into one that needs to be diagnosed and sterilized,…

Should younger kids go into the military? I personally think no because of multiple reasons. I do not think everyone should go into the military because they have not lived their life yet, the possibility of dying young, and not being physically prepared. But it is my opinion, not anyone else's, even though some might think the same as me. I believe everyone should be able to decide on their own. I think military people should think about students just getting out of school haven't lived their…

Death is something a lot of people are afraid of, yet some people seek death. For those who are suffering, old age, living through pain, they tend do seek death as their way of escaping. What if there’s no death, like Saramago illustrated in his book Death with Interruptions, how after New Year the entire society does not have to face death anymore, that is something most people would want, because they can do whatever they want, not need to feel there’s not enough time. Even going back in the…

For 43 years and counting, an explanation for a medical phenomenon without scientific evidences is still supported. Shaken Baby Syndrome has been drilled into the minds of Doctors and Pediatrician as fact, and is here to stay. Shaken Baby Syndrome was first coined by John Caffey in 1972. This syndrome was based on his personal observations of babies who had these three symptoms, but no obvious signs of physical trauma to the head or neck. “The state’s theory is that a person can pick up a baby…
