.... fat and two layers of fibrous tissue. It is believed that the kidney first evolved in the original vertebrates where freshwater organisms needed some means of pumping water from the body. The kidney became adept at reabsorbing glucose, salts, and other materials which would have been lost if simply pumped out of the body by a simple organ. The cut surface of the kidney reveals two distinct areas: the cortex- a dark band along the outer border, about one centimeter in thickness, and the inner medulla. The medulla is divided into 8 to 18 cone-shaped masses of tissue named renal pyramids. The apex of each pyramid, the papilla, extends into the renal pelvis, .....

The HDL, High Density Lipoprotein, is commonly referred to as the "good" cholesterol, and the LDL, Low Density Lipoprotein, which is known as the "bad" cholesterol. These are described as good or bad because of their affect on the cardiovascular system which includes the heart and blood vessels, throughout the entire body. An excess of "bad" cholesterol- LDL, is known to precipitate out and accumulate on the lining on the membrane of arteries, and eventually sludge this tube enough to impair the flow of l .....

Its effects range from mild alertness to heightened anxiety and body tension. Caffeine may not improve performance of complex tasks; it may even interfere with work. It shortens reaction time among some users, but its impact on creativity and other intellectual activities is hard to define. Caffeine can be habit-forming. Some regular users who give it up may experience withdrawal symptoms twelve to sixteen hours after the last dose, such as: drowsiness, headaches, l .....

.... of abortion becoming illegal in Canada is very real. More child abuse and family violence may occur. A decrease in women's rights and freedoms may cause an increase in the death rate. That is why the choice for women to have an abortion in a clean and safe environment should remain legal. Women considering abortion are dealing with a range of problems and are only overwhelmed by criticism. Circumstances and conditions leading to the termination of a pregnancy can vary widely. Whether caused by rape, incest, or age and ignorance, an unwanted pregnancy remains an unwanted pregnancy. Abortion causes a woman to choose between her life or the potential child' .....

.... definition for “Active Euthanasia” is – “KILLING a sick person, or performing actions which makes their death occur more quickly. Someone has to initiate, or DO something to cause the imminent death of the patient.” Now, if we look deeply into the reality, and have more understanding of what the sick people are feeling, we can gain insight into their world, and know what makes them ask a doctor to end their lives with dignity. Imagine if you were a person who was suffering from some horrible disease, you lie on the bed 24 hours a day with tubes all over your body, there is no way you can have a normal life again, EVER! Would you want to live like this? Sur .....

Like a friend dying or a family member coming down with a deadly disease like cancer.It can also be caused when someone hears about a certain disease a lot or studies more into depth. Some people use it to seek attention, or withdraw from personal responsibilities. Being sick is also a way of agreeing to be helpless. In fact, is the perfect solution to this common predicament, for in being ill-either as a child,wife,husband, employee, or in-law- the vulnerable person simultaneously obtains the protection and attention he craves,excuses his excessive de .....

.... that were at the time unsafe, commonly stipulating a threat to the woman's life as the sole (“therapeutic”) exception to the prohibition. Occasionally the exception was enlarged to include danger to the mother's health as well. Legislative action in the 20th century has been aimed at permitting the termination of unwanted pregnancies for medical, social, or private reasons. Abortions at the woman's request were first allowed by the Soviet Union in 1920, followed by Japan and several East European nations after World War II. In the late 1960s liberalized abortion regulations became widespread. The impetus for the change was threefold: (1) infanticide .....

.... during the terminal phase of illness. In general, palliative care requires limited use of apparatus and technology, extensive personal care, and an ordering of the physical and social environment to be therapeutic in itself. There are, as it were, two complementary systems of treatment which may often overlap: One system is concerned with eliminating a curable disease and the other with relieving the symptoms resulting from the relentless progress of an incurable illness. There must be openness, interchange, and overlap between the two systems so that the patient receives continuous appropriate care. The patient should not be subjected to aggressive treatment .....
