...individual alive are pricey. In 2009 an article said that 60% of people who go bankrupt are troubled by medical bills. (Tamkins, 2009) In 2007 another article explains that 72 million working-age Americans are paying off medical debt or have medical bill problems. If the number of elderly adults that deal with the same issues are included, then the total rises to 79 million. (Gonzalez, 2012) Years of everlasting medical bills and useless treatments will leave debt to the patient, family, and loved ones. That is money no one cannot afford to lose. There is no need to pay to perpetuate a life of a patient that has no chance of getting better and or living a regular life again. There is no need to pay to prolong a life of a patient that wants to die. There is no need in paying a colossal amount of money every day to suffer. Euthanasia is the solution yet again. Euthanasia will diminish the constant bills. Euthanasia will free the medical funds. Death is one of the hardest things humans have to deal with. It is tough and scary to think about losing a loved one, family and or friends. It is horrendous to even witness someone in excruciating pain. But the worst thing would have to be dying alone, passing away with no family or...

...Assisted suicide for terminally ill patients The issue of assisted suicide for terminally ill patients is heavily debated and relevant nowadays with the medical technics that has come so fare making it almost impossible for terminally ill patients to die ‘by choice’. I will present three different people’s view on the subject. An account of the issue In 2012 the British newspaper The Independent brought to articles with two different views on assisted suicide on their website. The article Tony Nicklinson: “Perhaps I’ll say goodbye on Twitter” written by former nurse Nina Lakhani concerning the patient Tony Nicklinson’s wish to die since he suffers with locked-‐in syndrome. Nicklinson sees it as a violation of his human rights that he is not allowed assisted suicide. ‘The government is in breach of Mr. Nicklinson’s Article 8 right to “privacy, dignity and autonomy”, a right he cannot...

...At some point or another, all humans, in general, think about heroes. Whether they are thinking about other people or themselves, they realize this: a hero saves people. So now the question must be asked, "Did Dally die a Hero?". The answer is clear. Yes, Dally did die a hero; he helped win the rumble even though he was injured, he helped Johnny and Ponyboy when they were in a desperate time of need, and most of all, he saved Johnny out of a rumbling fire. Starting with the rumble, Dally fought even though he was in a critical state with broken bones and bruises everywhere. Yes, he was self-sacrificing when it came to fighting in the rumble and representing his loyal group, the Greasers. So when Dally decided to fight in the rumble, he was showing that his group meant more to him that healing in the hospital. This is very significant! If someone was truly a hoodlum or a corrupt person, they would not have this kind of big-hearted spirit that Dally had. This still is just one way that it is clear that Dally was a hero....

...child who would rather curl up with a good book then be outside playing with the other military children. Lowry went to Brown University for two years before she transferred to the University of South Maine. There she met her husband Donald Grey Lowry. They had four children together, but in 1977 they got a divorce. Shortly after that Lowry wrote her first book, A Summer to Die. Lois Lowry notable works are The Giver and Number The Stars. Lowry has written over twenty novels, in which she has received the Newbery Medal in 1990 and 1994. She received the Margaret Edwards Award in 2007 for her work. Lowry has very many writing styles when it comes to her books. In the Giver she used third person omniscient along with a straight forward language in the beginning, and at the end she leaves the ending open ended. This leaves the reader to apply their beliefs, hopes, dreams, and experiences to what happened to Jonas. A Summer to Die was written in first person narrative, and told by a thirteen year old girl named Meg. She is the protagonist in the book. Lowry tackles a serious issue in A Summer To Die, she used metaphors and tells the story in a telling mode. Throughout Lowry’s life she has had many experiences to help her write her books. In the book, The Giver the story is told in a future dystopia where society feels no feelings, they have no choice, and they see in gray. Lowry got this inspiration when her mother and father were both in a nursing home, and her mother was...

...In “The Odyssey” after Odysseus takes revenge on all of the wooers, he punishes all who were involved with the wooers. The constant debate of this topic is if Odysseus really was justified for what he did. He is justified for very important reasons such as, one the other people involved had it coming because they should have stayed loyal to Odysseus. The second reason is that everyone deserved the punishment because even though the wooers were taking over they should have not have slept with them or done anything. The third reason is because Odysseus needed revenge for the purge on his house so anyone who took part in the purge deserved to die. As stated before the first reason is because the servants of Odysseus should have stayed loyal...

...Critically evaluate whether the main features of Kant’s deontological approach are too restrictive and fail to be applicable to modern ethical issues, such as Euthanasia. The main features of Kant’s deontological approach are in many ways restrictive and it can be argued that they fail to be applicable to modern ethical issues. However to say that they are exempt from providing any form of solution to modern ethical issues is a failing in the understanding of his ethics. The statement itself must be broken down, particularly the word ‘restrictive’, which indicates some form of limitation in Kant’s approach, specifically towards euthanasia. This presents us as philosophers with problems as, even prior to any ethical approach, the idea of assisted death or euthanasia would have been a difficult decision to make on the grounds that there are arguments for both sides, both with valid sway when it comes to doing the morally correct thing. For the most part, arguments for whether euthanasia is the right thing to do take into account personal relationships, in light of compassion and love. This however, is not a Kantian method. Kant’s approach is far more impersonal as, for Kant, the outcome of an action is not relevant to whether or not it is ethical. We must therefore question, can an ethic that fails to address the importance of personal relationships ever be applicable to modern ethical issues, which more often than not, require a personal, situational solution? It also follows...

...I think Dally did die a hero because, yes in the book it says, Dally was different from the set of us he separated, thug from greaser. In many minds Dally did not die a hero, he was a lousy and violent and horrible person. To me, he was mistreated, he was kicked out of his dwelling house, and was technically homeless, even though in the book it does say he would stay over at many people’s houses. Dally was considered an actual thug a gruesome and horrible person, but I conceive he was always a hero, when Johnny had killed Bob in the beginning part of the Outsiders, Dally had helped both Johnny and Ponyboy run away, he had given them $50 and unloaded heater and idea for transportation of getting out of their town. I believe he managed that because he had been to the cooler...

So I give ya that name and I said goodbye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's the name that helped to make you strong." He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. But ya ought to thank me, before I die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

...on a list for their perfect match… the perfect person to be their organ donor. An organ donor is a person who has an organ, or several organs, removed in ordered to be transplanted into another person. Imagine that one of your loved ones are in the hospital… they’re very sick and you don’t know what is wrong. The doctor comes in and tells you that your loved one is having kidney failure and they will die unless they can get a transplant. There are over 101,000 other people on a waiting list for an organ and over 55,000 on the list for a kidney. Wouldn’t you give them a kidney if you could?

...on the Great Plains. In the 1840’s to late 19th century the Great Plains were known as one of the hardest place for people to be able to survive on. One of the main problems on the Plains was the extreme weather conditions. In the summer it would be extremely hot and then in the winter it was extremely cold. However the Indian fought against this adapting their lifestyles to be able to build stronger and survive. Firstly the Indians homes were made to be well adapted to suit the extreme conditions of the Great Plains. For example all year round there were hazardous winds. In the winter there was blizzards and freezing temperatures and in the summer it was extremely hot causing both the land and rivers to dry up. Buy creating the tipi it helped the Indians to survive on the tipis because it was designed to be able to withstand the different temperatures and weather of the West. The tipis conical shape meant that it was strong enough to be able to resist the strong winds. Also due to the dramatic temperature the tipi was created with ears that could be moved to direct the wind in the summer the tipis bottom could be rolled up to let the air in to cool the tipi down and in the winter it could be banked with earth to keep the heat in. Secondly family life was very important to the Indians because every person had a role that they had to contribute to the tribe. The men were responsible for the hunting and looking after the horses. The women were responsible for looking after the...
