Basic Human Rights Voluntary Euthanasia
1,038 words
1. The 'justification' of voluntary euthanasia
involves rejection of a tenet fundamental to a
just framework of laws in society Voluntary
euthanasia is the killing of a patient at his or
her request in the belief that death would be a
benefit to the patient and that the killing is for
that reason justified. The mere fact that someone
says, in an un-coerced fashion, that he or she
wants to be killed does not in itself provide a
doctor with a reason for thinking death would be a
benefit to that pa...

characteristics' by humans. Like many other

Fibre Crystal Mid Infrared Lasers
1,998 words
Fibre crystal mid-infrared lasers As we know, a
laser is an optical oscillator made out of a gas,
liquid or solid with mirrors at both ends (see, e.
g. , The Computer Language Company Inc. , 2007 b).
To make the laser work, the material is pumped
with light or electricity. This pumping has
excited the electrons and has caused them to jump
to more high orbits. Some electrons do
spontaneously drop back to lower energy levels
what releases photons (i. e. quantum's of light).
The photons do then sti...
