.... become so ill that they cannot tolerate the pain they have a "right to die" to an escape from torment. So long as the right to die means not prolonging the life by undesireable treatment, it may be classified as rational suicide. The term "euthanasia" means "good health" or "well dying"; it is derived from the Greek "eu" and "thanatos". In its classical sense, it is a descriptive term referring to an easy death as opposed to an agonizing or tormented dying. In Greek literature, euthanasia connoted a "happy death, an ideal and coveted end to a full and pleasant life." The concern to die well is as old as humanity itself, for the questions surrounding .....

.... AID victims can go for help. First, I will try to present some of the myths and some of the actual facts surrounding AIDS. Some tend to believe that it is spread by kissing, touching toilet seats, and even that it is spread by mosquitoes. AIDS has also been labeled the disease of homosexual men. These are all false beliefs,proven through many scientific studies. Hemophiliacs have contracted AIDS, after having been giving transfusions of blood which was contaminated with the HIV virus. Drug addicts have been infected through the intravenous injection of drugs with “second hand” or dirty needles used by someone who carried the HIV virus. Prostitutes .....

.... coughing. Those near enough to see the package and the clear liquid s eeping from it began feeling dizzy and many were bleeding from the nose and mouth. This was not the only train car to receive such a dangerous package. This and four similar incidents took place at about the same time in the Tokyo subway system on March 20, 1995. The five packages were disguised to look like lunch boxes or soda conta iners and it was reported that the chemical agent used was an impure or dilute solution of sarin, a nerve agent developed by Nazi Germany during the '30's. This was the beginning of a frightening future for the modern world. "Organized and indiscriminat e murde .....

.... be known as a healer, not an agent of death. A family is supposed to love and support, not kill and inherit. Every person makes the light of the world brighter. The world needs everyone’s power and contribution. It’s the power and energy of the elderly, and the strength and will of the ill that give the world life. All of us no matter how good we take care of ourselves, exercise, or eat our vegetables, are going to die. We cannot escape this. As our population grows in this country the issue of will continue to be debated. "In 1995 two lawsuits were filed in New York and Washington State by a handful of terminally ill people and doctors claiming that the st .....

.... makes them more aware of the dangers. Personally I agree with the latter. I believe that handing out condoms should definitely be a more widespread practice. I believe teenagers would greatly benefit from it for many reasons. Firstly, to further emphasize my point of view lets pretend just for a moment that I am a shy girl named Mary. And lets say that I have a boyfriend named Joe. Joe and I have been together for quite a while and are beginning to be sexually active. In this scenario my alter ego, Mary, is in need of some condoms, but she would not feel comfortable asking her parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not be too .....

.... their own life. This is occurring all around the world and it affects everybody. Almost everyone is familiar with it. and some have even grown accustom to hearing about teenage suicide so much that they pay no attention to what may be really going on. Suicide is defined as the voluntary and intentional taking of one’s own life. When somone tries to commit suicide while they are attempting to kill thierselves they realize that they actually dont want to die. They really do want to live. On the average, a teenager takes his or her own life every one and a half hours, making about one hundred and thirty deaths a week, making suicide the second leading .....

.... an odd but essential ingredient called dietary fibre. Like its fellow carbohydrates, the various types of dietary fibre are the product of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide combining in green plants. Most form part of plant cell walls. But unlike the other carbohydrates, fibres do not break down into sugars in the human digestive system and then course through the blood stream fueling muscles and nerves. Rather, when eaten they tumble intact through the stomach and small intestine and end up in the colon where billions of bacterial feed on them - in turn producing intestinal gas. No wonder, then, that dietary fibre has been unwelcome in many of history .....
