Juxtaposition creates an intriguing connection between some very different things and makes your mind work to keep up with the story. The first instance of juxtaposition that I noticed was in the first sentence, “The grandmothers-dozens of them- find themselves at sea.” In that sentence alone, it shows the juxtaposition between being lost at sea but having many people around you to keep you…

The main issues in this case include the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence.

Regardless of the reasons as to why it is not on the formulary, Ms. Cross is entitled to…

Often referred to as euthanasia, mercy killing is the practice of taking one's life out of misery.
