Passive Euthanasia Assisted Suicide
582 words
The difference between active and passive
euthanasia are not quite as cruel and malicious as
commonly thought. Passive euthanasia is the fairly
common practice of withholding medical treatment
from a patient whose biological chances of
surviving are obsolete. This is often considered
to be morally correct. This because the patient or
immediate families decide whether life is worth
the pain and agony. However, this act of
withstanding from medical amenities is quite often
more painful than living...

They " re not blind. They don't have hair on their
palms. Even so, they still masturbate. Of all the
topics that continually find themselves under
attack, none seems to be restricted solely to
quiet, taboo conversations as often as
masturbation. For countless generations, this
subject has been put down, looked down on, and
kept behind closed doors, and no one is really
sure why. "It's immoral", or "its dirty" are the
best anyone has come up with. The latter is a
matter of personal opinion, and d...

Natural Law Decision Maker
1,925 words
Natural law theory holds that the concept which we
have come to understand as law is significantly
reflective of the moral judgments and standards
that are exercised in society. Law, according to
natural law theory, is simply a mirrored
reflection of a societal natural moral order. It
is a philosophy that embraces overall goodness and
equality, but, that rejects the mere mention of
evil. It requires that a law be implemented while
respecting the fundamental rights of all its
citizens, and at the...

two-thirds of the people who die are buried

People Who Live Point Of View

People always say that "No one who has a heart can
resist being a liberal, and no one who has a brain
can avoid being a conservative. " Whatever side we
take will greatly determine how we look at life
and how we live our lives. Most people in America
want to live in a society that is predominately
traditional with strong families, high moral
values and belief in a Christian religion of some
kind. This is a conservative point of view. I
support a conservative viewpoint rather than a
liberal one b...

time. This is shown when he states, before killing
Desdemona, "Yet I'll not shed her blood, nor scar

Rape Or Incest Reduce The Number

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy.
Abortion has been an intensely debated issue in
the United States today. It is very difficult to
find someone who doesn't have an opinion about
abortion, and probably a strong opinion at that.
Our country remains divided over what many
consider the most conflict-ridden American issue
since slavery. There are usually two sides. The
pro-life side and the pro-choice side. Both sides
make a good case. An agreement exists among
pro-lifers and pro-choicer's ...

Would God categorize his children? That is a
question that I believe most would give a simple
and direct answer: No. Would the United States
categorize their citizens? Although the Amendment
suggests that all men and women are equal, the
fact is, the people of the United States are
continuously being classified. So, if indeed the
United States is one nation under God, why do we
continue to sort ourselves through unreasonable
and unethical factors? The misinterpretation of
race has shattered the ...
