.... it hasn't, it will (McAteer J13). , or also known as assisted suicide, was an accepted practice in earlier civilizations. It was considered legally and morally to be a permissible way to die. However, it has been a hot topic for the last several years. At first it was just another topic, but later became a political issue that would affect courts and elections by dividing those who support and those who consider it a form of murder. It also has been a topic that has divided the Christian community. A movement began in the 1970's when Americans started to demand "death with dignity" (Worsnop 1). In the event of a terminal illness or injury, people were .....

.... has no boundaries. People describe the pain as deep muscular aching, burning, throbbing, shooting and stabbing. Quite often, the pain and stiffness are worse in the morning and you may hurt more in muscle groups that are used repetitively. The symptom of fatigue can be mild in some patients and yet incapacitating in others. The fatigue has been described as “brain fatigue” in which patients feel totally drained of energy. This can lead to difficulty concentrating. Most fibromyalgia patients have an associated sleep disorder called the alpha-EEG anomaly. This condition was uncovered in a sleep lab with the aid of a machine which recorded the brain .....

.... many of these people are unnecessarily taking Prozac and it is doing them more harm than good. There are many possible causes for depression, ranging from stress, physical and emotional changes, crises, and chemical imbalance in the brain. There are also several ways to treat depression such as therapy, a change in diet, and a regular exercise program. The current trend is for doctors to immediately prescribe Prozac before exploring the other treatment options. However, Prozac “was associated with more hospitalizations, deaths, or other serious adverse reactions reported to the FDA than any other drug in America” (qtd. in Freundlich 2). Eli Lilly Pharm .....

.... which involves the removal of the clitoris, labia minora, and part of the labia majora, followed by the sewing together of the two sides of the vulva, leaving a very small opening for the passage of urine and menstrual blood. Type IV - Unclassified, which may include pricking, piercing or incising of the clitoris and/or labia; stretching of the clitoris and/or labia; cauterization by burning of the clitoris and surrounding tissue. There are many health risks and complications associated with these operations such as; hemorrhage, shock, painful scars, keloid formation, clitoral cysts, chronic urinary infection, chronic pelvic infections, painful menstr .....

.... developing mental disorders than does the non-black make up of the United States. Hence this paper will attempt to demonstrate how due to socio-economic differences such as money, racism and increased exposure to violence, blacks have a greater chance to develop mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Some definitions: Stress, Depression & Anxiety Stress is everywhere in our lives and it can be found in two forms. The life of Afro-Americans is filled with both eustress and distress, but it is the high rate of distress due to socio-economic circumstances that are responsible for higher rates of depression and anxiety amongst them. Depression is a .....

.... before they are aware of their twinship, which once developed may cause self-image problems resulting in twins being so dependent upon each other that, in some cases, they cannot fall in love or marry (Mathias, 1992). It is important, therefore, to encourage individuality in, and a healthy relationship between, each twin from birth so that they will not experience individualisation problems (Siemon, 1980). According to Sandbank (1988), three main factors play roles in the development of twin individuality. These are: competition in the twinship, the school environment and parental attitude. Competition, according to Mathias (1992), results from being .....

.... A number of people start to experiment with drugs out of curiosity, for the thrill, as an expression of rebellion, or because their friends do it. On the other hand, others use drugs to escape depression, or other personal problems. But regardless of why drug use began, large numbers of people continue the practice because they become dependent on a drug. A document from the Department of Health and Human Services says the use of drugs has decline dramatically since the 1970’s and 1980’s when drug use was at its peak level. The use of drugs has declined in the percentage of eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders who believed there was a “ great risk” in try .....

.... was identified, researchers found the protein it produces, a larger than normal molecule they called huntingtin that was unlike any protein previously identified. The question that they did not know was what either the healthy huntingtin protein or its aberrant form does in a cell. Recently, a team from Johns Hopkins University found a second protein called HAP-1, that attaches to the huntingtin molecule only in the brain. The characteristics of this second protein has an interesting feature- it binds much more tightly to defective huntingtin than to the healthy from, and it appears that this tightly bound complex causes damage to brain cells. Researchers .....
