...to do whatever they want with their lives. Individuals have the right to do whatever they think if better for them. They can get tattoos; they can pierce parts of their body that even God would not believe; they can jump out of a roof when they are depressed, so why not ask for a doctor pull the cord? The second argument is shortening the period of suffering, is this case a terminal patient with no quality of life should not suffer any longer. The doctors and the family should let the patient go if they know that is no chance of recovery. They have to understand that prolonging this patient’s life will just bring them more pain and suffer. The health care professionals and the families should make decisions based on the patient’s best interest. Last but not least the patients’ right to die with dignity, it means that human being have the right of dying distinction. The doctors have to respect the patient’s decision of not to deteriorate on a bed waiting for death to take his life away. A terminal patient wishes not quality of life but quality of death. So, why not give it to him? I believe that they deserve to die with dignity and piece, since they will not be able to have this in life. The author also gives us arguments against passive euthanasia. First...

...“Sorry sir, our hospital can’t cure Ebola… We recommend you to go to another hospital.” “But.. but I can’t, I’ve already been to many other hospitals. Please, please doctor…” “I am really sorry sir. All we can do is keep you quarantined in the hospital,” the doctor replied with a deep cold voice. This is 11th hospital that had rejected me, and they all rejected me since I have no money. My friend, Peter, also suffered from Ebola, but he had the best doctors in the world to cure him. The only difference between him and I is our wealth. I thought that people could not judge other people by money. How come this society is still judging people by their wealth. Rich people can do all the wrongful things, but they get around with it, because they have money to bribe people. I just can’t endure this society. I’m not going to die like this. I only have a week to live and I want spend that time traveling around the US with my mom. Fortunately, my mom doesn’t know that I have Ebola, and I will keep hiding the truth from my mom. My heart doesn’t let me. If my mom finds out about my secret, I don’t know what I’ll do. Tonight, I am breaking out from this hospital, I already planned out my trip. On my way out, a quick thought came through my mind. “ Get the cure.” “Get the cure.” If I found a way to get the treatment for Ebola, I won’t have to worry about my mom finding out about my secret and I’ll be able to spend as much time as I want with her. Without hesitation I quickly turned...

...WX-5000 along with the below mentioned equipment for ten years to aid in finding cures for birth defects in fetuses and new born children. These machines will aid in discovering possible birth defects in ocean wildlife and finding cures for these defects. Introduction to the Company Welcome to Marine World USA. This company is responsible for locating pregnant ocean life forms and doing ultrasounds on them to determine if there will be any complications during delivery, how many are on board, any disorders or malfunctions that might be present, and the genders of the fetuses. Marine World USA locates pods, for example, and tries to find pregnant females to do ultrasounds on. These ultrasounds are a key in the reproduction life cycle to try to combat certain deformities that might occur in the fetus. The use of these ultrasounds helps scientists in determining any known disorders, and possible results of diseases, that might occur for the fetus. Our business goal is to help scientists in locating diseased specimens for research on cures for that species of animal. These cures, which are known for that species or location, will ultimately lead scientists into discovering if that species follows those same disorders for humans. Once this is established then scientists can start looking for cures of that same disorder in humans. The reason for this type of research is to determine if there are cures for certain disorders in the human population. Project Goals and Timeline The project...

...A CURE FOR AIDS Abstract This paper contains information from six different articles relating to finding a cure for AIDS. These articles are very similar in results for finding an actual cure for AIDS, but up until this point there is no actual cure for AIDS. However, the information that I have conducted has indicated an antiretroviral treatment that can suppress HIV – the virus that causes AIDS – and the antiretroviral treatment can delay illness for many years. After reading many articles I found that there is many scams out their that are trying to sell a cure for AIDS, so if you have aids don’t fall for these misleading they don’t work. Many people that are infected with this deadly virus don’t even know that they are infected. Many people don’t even develop symptoms after they first get infected with HIV. Others on the other hand tend to get very sick. The person will have flu – like illness within several days even to weeks after they have been exposed to the virus. The infected person will start to complain that they have a fever, headache, tiredness, and enlarged lymph nodes on their neck. These symptoms tend to go away by themselves after a few weeks. . This asymptomatic phase often lasts for years. The progression of this disease can vary among each individual, and this state can last for a few months to more than ten years. A CURE FOR AIDS There is no cure for AIDS or the HIV infection as of today. Although antiretroviral treatment can help suppress HIV;...

...Final Paper Christopher A. Malloy PHI 445: Personal & Organizational Ethics Instructor: Sandra Watts June 3, 2013 Final Paper The two organizations I will be focusing on throughout the course are two organizations I have actually donated to. The not-for-profit organization is the American Red Cross and the for-profit organization is Cancer Treatment Center of America. Being in the military and having a family member to have passed from cancer, these two organizations are dear to me and my family. The American Red Cross of America is the type of organization that produces products to support disaster relief, supporting the military families, health and safety training and education, blood drives for lifesaving blood and international services. The majority of their employers are volunteers that have been involved with the Red Cross because of the help they received during a disaster or life-changing event in their family. Their customers are the American people during times of disaster such as tornado, flood, fire or earthquake victims. Their customers are also, internationally whenever disaster strikes. So the treatment of them both, such always is fair and impartial. The American Red Cross manufactures their product through corporate and foundation funding, community partners, individual major donors and a national celebrity cabinet. The way they utilize their product is by teaching their employers and customers how to prepare their home and family, school...

...Ebola after researching it scares me the most. The ebola virus is a very complex level four virus. Level four viruses are extremely lethal, and there is no cure for them yet, not does there seem to be a cure for them or ebola in the near future. To give you an example of just how lethal level four viruses like ebola are, AIDS is only a level three virus, and requires minimal protection when working with it. The protection required for working with the ebola virus consists of wearing three layers of gloves, and giant space suits. Only people with top government security are allowed into these airtight rooms where this all takes place. The virus is a member of the family filoviridae.Throughout media coverage, talk at work, or just rumors, you tend to think that just by being near someone with the virus that you will contact it.My daughter and niece even play around saying don't touch me or I will get Ebola. However the reality of it is that it can only be contracted through the exchange of body fluids such as sweat, blood, saliva , or semen. Another way the virus can be spread is if someone touches the surface where an infected person's body fluid was present with broken skin. The non fiction book "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston and the movie "Outbreak" in 1995 patterned the Ebola virus. An Outbreak of the virus is the last thing anyone wants....

...territory which was presumably mostly destroyed by bombs. The totalitarian government teaches that love is a disease, named amor deliria nervosa, commonly referred to as "the deliria". A surgical cure for the deliria has been developed and is mandatory for citizens 18 years old and over. Lena has looked forward to the procedure for years, convinced as she is by the government that love is a horrible disease that must be destroyed from mankind's system. However, mere months before her scheduled procedure, Lena falls in love with an Invalid (a person over 18 who has not taken the Cure and lives in the Wilds) named Alex. He was born in the Wilds outside the city, and has pretended to be cured in order to live undetected in the city and be in the resistance. He offers Lena the means of escape from the procedure that will destroy her ability to love. The two of them would leave the city and live in the Wilds, joining the rebels who oppose the procedure and the government. Although Lena struggles with the thought of leaving her life behind, she ultimately decides to go just seven days before her procedure. Alex and Lena are discovered meeting together a few nights before their planned escape. Lena is captured and held in her home, tied down and under guard, until she can have the procedure to cure her of her love sickness—and render her docile and...

...Animal testing is a world wide argument. Many people believe it is cruel and inhumane, others agree it is the best way to get fast results. This is a very controversial topic, especially in psychology. Psychologist do research to learn about behavior and how knowledge of behavior can be used to advance the welfare of people and animals. Overall, animal testing is right because it not only saves human lives, but animals as well, contributes to many life saving cures and lastly animals have shorter life cycles so it speeds up the result process. People think animal testing only benefits us, but it is widely used to save animals all around the world. Because when animals get sick we don't always know or understand why. So what could be better to learn about a rat or chimpanzee than testing on one? Animal researchers have reestablished populations of endangered and threatened species. They did this by...

...read. So I will try to write this summary the best that I possibly can. What I understood from my reading was that antibiotics have been in development over the last eighty years. Antibiotics help fight infections we get from bacteria. Antibiotics come in different classes to fight multiple strains of a bacterial infection (Cummings). I also learned that over the years new antibiotic development has become slower. Over the last eighty years bacteria has become sort of built up immunity to some antibiotics. Not all infections can be treated with the same antibiotics. Sometimes a prescribed antibiotic does not cure an infection. I know this from my own personal experience. I had to have surgery. After the surgery I had gotten an infection and was given an antibiotic. The infection I had was resistant to the type of antibiotic that I was given. The antibiotic actually made my infection worse. The symptoms I felt at the beginning of my infection caused me so much more pain. I had to be put on a different class of antibiotic. The second antibiotic I was given was stronger and it was hopefully supposed to cure my infection. The new antibiotic cured the infection I had gotten but I had developed another infection and had to be put on yet another antibiotic. I was on these antibiotics for about a month and finally all my infections were cleared up. My doctor explained to me that sometimes some antibiotics just are not the right one to cure an infection or it could be because a person’s...

...Finding a Cure for Jack Williams (One night, a young man, Jack Williams, has just finished dinner when he receives a phone call from a good friend, Bob Hayes. The following is a dialogue between them.) Jack: Hello, is that you, Bob? Bob: Yes, it is. How are you doing? I hope it’s not too late to call you. Jack: Not a bit. I just had a bite to eat and was going to watch some TV, but I’m really glad you called. I really want to thank you for last night from the bottom of my heart. Man, had you not rescued me, I think I might have wound up spending the night in jail. Bob: Not a problem! I’m really glad everything worked out as it did. It could have gotten nasty. Jack: Yes, I had quite a bit to drink, but I was really behaving myself at the bar, when all of a sudden this guy elbows me, gives me a dirty look, and mutters something nasty in my ear. You know me—I don’t take rudeness lying down and in a blink of an eye we were both outside and he was picking a fight with me. You know the rest……. Bob: It’s a good thing you thought of calling me, for when I arrived on the scene you looked a sight—with a bloody nose and a black eye. It could have been worse…….. Jack: Thank you so much for arriving in the nick of time—that guy was threatening to call the cops…. as if I were at fault! Bob: It’s good that I was able to talk to him, mollify him, and get him to go home without calling the police, for you had both been violent with each other and you may have ended up spending...

...polio and symptoms, treatments, and prevention of the disease. First, polio is transmitted from person to person. It is mainly transmitted through a fecal- oral route. “Poliovirus virions are very stable, especially in in acidic pH, and can remain infectious for relatively long periods in food and water, its main routes of transmission. The incubation period ranges from 6 to 20 days” (1). Once the virus is ingested it multiplies in the mucosa of the throat or small intestine. From here, the virus goes into the tonsils and lymph nodes of the lymph nodes in the neck and the terminal potion of the small intestine. Sometimes the virus enters the blood stream and causes viremia. In more than 99% of those cases, the viremia lasts only for a short time and does not result in clinical disease. In the other less that 1% cases, the viremia persists and goes into the central nervous system and this causes paralytic polio. Next, there are three different types of polio. These three types include subclinical, non- paralytic, and paralytic. Subclinical polio does not affect the brain nor the spinal cord. About 95% of the cases of polio are subclinical cases. These patients might not experience any symptoms at all. Symptoms can include: headache, sore throat, fever, vomiting and...
