Immortal in Death

“When I have Fears” and “Alexander Crummell” are two similar yet very distinct examples of how human emotions can be expressed. Both readings specifically touch on the idea of doubt and how it is manifested in Keats poem and Crummell’s story. The tone, and mediums used to tell each of the author’s stories encourage the reader to form an opinion on which they feel is more convincing when portraying the emotion of doubt. Du Bois proposes doubt as a temptation in the story and life of Alexander…

Yep I died, so it should be my seventh reincarnation but there is something not right about this one, even that time when I woken up in womb I could at least move slightly and it fell wet this time I felt nothing. For now let's test if I remember everything correctly from before this rebirth. Originally I was middle aged man that liked to play paper rpg and tabletop games, but certain day after playing up to third in the morning and drinking little to much I decided…

a blinding room that is crystal white. Once again as if deva vu is occurring over and over again a maddening voice is stuck in your head ‘’You are very special and so very lucky. You are the chosen one of the government” as you have experienced death. Keep in mind next time that anticipated execution is against the United States of America law. If it is in you will to be terminated, take your papers to the demolition office. Carefully your new body is caressed from the examiners table. You get…

Christianity claims that suicide is a form of murder, murder in which the person destroys their life. It is said that it is denying God and the murder of which was created in the image of God. Though, many believe if one takes their own life they will not make it to paradise. Human life is a gift, taking human life is a sin in which is against God’s highest creation. According to the Old Testament, there are five records of suicides. What makes this a terrible act is not taking an innocent life…

Our Youth Once And Lost: Youth is something that is considered limited, something that can no longer be regained once lost. Youth is something most of us considered sacred, our youth is like the peak of our lives, the time where we could do most of the reckless things that young people do before we become old. We all have probably felt or thought about this subject at one point. In the “Birthday Cake” by Goodman, it is a story of being old and wishing to be young again such that a…

only breaches the Hippocratic Oath, but also empowers them to “play God”. This responsibility could then reflect upon society, altering their views and their trust within doctors and medical professionals as they could then be seen as “providers of death” (Cosic, 2003. 25) In addition to this, a doctor’s decision to terminate a life may not rely on the condition and best interests of the patient, but instead of amount of hospital beds and facilities that are…

We are being inhumane to force people to continue suffering in this way (Newman, 1996). Choosing for a more painless death comes a lot easier for patients along with family who witness the pain of their loved is enduring with all the medications and treatments (which tend to cause severe side effects). I believe that is justified. Especially knowing that the chances of survival are very slim for the patient. Supports of the mercy killing ask whether it is rational or not to keep a…
