Euthanasia device

The word absolute to me sends up red flags. Absolute means concrete, finite, with no room for discussion or individual interjection. My mother would frequently recite George Washington’s infamous phrase that “In this world nothing can be said to be certain , except death and taxes” . I believe that absolute right and wrong eliminates creativity, individualism and circumstantial evidence. I am very leery of all encompassing words like absolute. Most of the posts I have read agree that…

In the Bible, when Cain killed Abel, it was a start to a sinister act: ending the life of a fellow human being. The Fifth Commandment states, “Thou shall not kill.” It means we cannot end or harm the life of a human being. Not only does killing oppose this Commandment, but is also opposes the Catholic Church. That is because you cannot believe in God’s teachings and also kill. Three violations to the Fifth Commandment and the Catholic Church are suicide, abortion, and war. Suicide violates the…

Assisted suicide is when a terminally ill patient requests a lethal dose of medication from the doctor that is servicing them. I feel as if it is compulsory to be used as for the fact that the death of the patient requesting the medication is certain, it is only a matter of time before it transpires; why put the patient through so much pain if they are going to die anyways? It should be the patient's choice of when they want to die seeing as that they are the ones that are required to deal with…

“Now, you need to do something. Do you hear me? Do something.” In the movie John Q., this was the statement that pushed John Quincy Archibald to take drastic measures to get the heart transplant that his son desperately needed. This demanding statement from his wife, Denise Archibald, managed to take him out of his kind nature and forced him to do something that was out of his character. The question is—did he do the right thing? Was it really right for him to take the people in the emergency…

1. What are the literal and figurative meanings of the word “swerving” as used in the poem? The setting of the poem tells us that he is traveling on a mountainous road at night in a car. Where he found a dead doe in the middle of the road. who has been dead probably by hitting from another car? But now he is in a position that he must do something about it because it may cause another accident on the same road. So he sees the best option to put this doe into the canyon by swerving it. The…

The Perfect Pretender thought experiment gave a great example refuting logical behaviorism. The experiment was on people who are born with neurological disorders and cannot feel pain. This is a extremely dangerous condition . They cannot not tell when harm is done to the body, meaning painful stimulus is not even perceived. In some cases a person cannot tell when something is wrong until the body has suffered serious damage. Imagine if a child can study the behavior of appropriate pain behavior…

In life it is important to know some life skills in order to be able to do things. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation which abbreviated means CPR. This is one important life skill you should know, because a lot of kids and adults drowned, and stop breathing every year. I was a lifeguard for three in a half years before I moved to Tennessee, it was an amazing job. I love helping people and knowing this life skill. In order to become CPR certified you have to take a course through the Red Cross to…

What makes death bad? The question I will try to address here is: what do we lose when we die. The deprivation account defends that death is bad because it deprives you from the goods you would have had in your live. As such, it does not commit you to any value system and can accept a wide range of “goods”. It can be paired with hedonism, but it can also take into account alternative types of value, such as narrative unity or desert. There is a similar approach, the desire-based account,…

Everything you need to know about why Hindus are burnt and not buried? Death is an unavoidable chapter in the book of life and different cultures bid adieu to the departed in different ways. In Hindus, it is in the form of burning bodies, which is widely known as Antima Sanskar. But why do we burn the body, when most cultures prefer to bury their dead? Let’s explore the belief, or rather beliefs that veil this tradition: • Sacrifice to The Lord of Fire: in Hinduism, almost all the ceremonies are…

A story about a man named Edward K. Wehling Jr., his wife, and his three new born children that may have to be killed. 2BRO2B by Kurt Vonnegut takes place in a wicked, messed up world in Chicago. The story is about how population control is one of the most important things. Supposaly, having the population get to “high”, the world then goes into chaos. Saying there is not enough water, and the only food is seaweed. Moving onto the evidence. There is many pieces of evidence in the story. One of…
