...Abortion is wrong Abortion is wrong. There are many reasons as to why it is wrong. Abortion is murdering a human embryo. If abortion is legal then why isn’t murder? It is both the same in a way. Abortion is a safe procedure but can also be fatal and dangerous if not done professionally. Murder is illegal so I think abortion should be too. It’s taking innocent lives away and it’s cruel. Many people also think the human embryo isn’t a human because it hasn’t been born yet. Many people think abortion is okay and do not think it’s hurting anyone or killing a human being, but there is good supporting information stating that abortion is wrong and why. Abortion is the killing of an unborn human being. The United States government considers unborn...

...One loses many opportunities every time they hesitate to act. Whether it is unintentional or not, it all depends on the person in question. In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the nature of the character Hamlet is difficult to comprehend. Hamlet is attentive to his surroundings more than to who he is himself. Even when his true intentions are wrong, he wants to believe what he is doing is right. He gets overwhelmed with his emotions and stirs conflicts outside of the crucial one at hand. Hamlet, although sharp and considerate, exhibits excessive cognition and doubt throughout his moral dilemma. Hamlet is a bright young Prince and has a keen eye for the things occurring around him. Even though this makes Hamlet a strong character, as a result...

...Why is cheating wrong? Many people ask this question. Some others think it is a silly question to ask. There are many views of this question. I think it is a good question to ask. I think it is wrong because not only are you breaking rules but you are cheating your own self. This does not hurt anyone else but yourself. The best thing to do to resolve this problem is to not cheat. The reason that you only cheat yourself is because everyone else knows the answers except you. This works for sports and academics. Sports because if you do not work enough you will be the one not ready for whatever you are practicing for. You could also be the one on the team that is out of shape. This could lead to you not getting the position you want and maybe not even starting. It is almost the same for academics. Say you cheat on all of the homework for a chapter and get all one-hundreds. At the end of the chapter you have a test on that chapter. Well the day you get your test back you don’t have a passing grade because you cheated on all of your homework. You got the failing grade because you cheated on your homework and did not know what the whole chapter was about. Therefore, if you cheat you are only cheating yourself. Do not cheat on anything, you will only hurt yourself. This will not look good on you at all. You might cheat because you don’t like the grade you have. However, you cheat and get caught and get a lower grade than you had before you...

...When you are being disciplined by an authority figure a common question is,"If someone else jumps off a bridge would you jump off too?" I agree with Emerson's idea that conformity is wrong because it is like jumping off a bridge without looking over the edge. You may be able to survive the jump and return to the bridge without injury or you may sustain an injury that alters your way of life. The final possible outcome is you do not survive the jump. If you conform to society or your peers you may be able to return without any significant consequences. Let's say you are sixteen and someone offers you a beer and you drink it because everyone else around you is drinking. After that one drink you can choose to never drink again and there are no life altering consequences. Now imagine after that one drink you...

...What is cloning? Cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity (Fact). The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone (MedlinePlus). I personally think that cloning is wrong for various reasons. In this essay, I will go into detail about cloning and why it is wrong from a moral standpoint. There are two types of cloning where you can make exact genetic copies, artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer. Artificial embryo twinning is when the sperm cell is split in two inside of a petri dish creating two individual sperm (What). When placed in a surrogate mother, the two sperm cells develop into two identical organisms (What). Somatic cell nuclear transfer is when a somatic cell is isolated from an adult female organism, and then the nucleus and all of its DNA is removed from an egg cell (What). That DNA and nucleus is replaced by the nucleus from the somatic cell (What). This creates a freshly fertilized egg which develops into an embryo and is placed inside of a surrogate mother(What). I think cloning is bad for a few main reasons. Scientists have observed that most cloned organisms are born with defects and...

...Steal the loaf of bread and save the family, but be ready to face the consequences for stealing. That is the dilemma. If caught, he will leave his family altogether, unable to provide and give support while he’s incarcerated. Ending up in jail will brand him as neglectful. While it is easy to say that no one should steal and commit any wrongdoing, it is also difficult to give fault to the father for wanting to provide for his family in any way possible. “Desperate times, call for desperate measures” as Hollywood scripts may put it. Maybe as a last resort, they are choosing to do something illegal in order to survive. It is true that stealing is against the law and is ethically wrong. However, is stealing justified if it meant saving the family...

...Morality of Cloning Cloning, is it morally right or wrong? That is the question many have been debating for years. Cloning an animal, or even more so a human, may seem, taboo. Ask yourself, what are moral standards built upon? Religion? Or do they come from ourselves? Most of today's moral standards are built upon Christianity, one of the worlds biggest religions. Many people believe that God made us to reproduce sexually, between a man and woman only, and that cloning is playing God and going against his will. Other religions too, have spoken out about cloning. Religion has been a main issue for the scientific community for many decades and will continue to be so. Many other subjects such as abortion, and assisted suicide have been a controversial...

...Name: Glennder Rooplal Topic: Abortion Claim: Abortion is not the best solution. Thesis Statement: Abortion is not the best solution because abortion is murder, it is an unsafe procedure which endangers the lives of women and it disallows for safer options such as adoption. Points It contributes to mass murder It endangers the lives of women It disallows for options such as adoption Introduction The dictionary defines Abortion as: The termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. This simply means, inducing birth to kill the fetus, or baby before it is carried to full term. However, I would define abortion as morally and spiritually wrong. How would you feel if you were denied the right to live? Imagine being held against your will, gagged, and your hands bounded as you are placed in front of a firing squad about to be killed for absolutely no reason. Your right to live depends solely on someone else’s decision, hoping and praying that their decision is one that will be one of moral and ethical consciousness and would allow you your right. This is exactly what abortion entails, denying you your right to live. There are many women who might have gotten pregnant and thought that they were not ready to have a child. For most of them, they turn to abortion and see it as their only way out. I am certain many of these women have not fully understood the consequences behind abortion or does not realise that there are many other...

...Abortion is any expulsion of the fetus, natural or induced when is in the womb and can´t survive on their own. When I heard that people aborted. I thought that it wasn´t fair to that life that was in that womb died because his/her mother chose and didn´t have the opportunity to decide to live or not. But also, I thought of those women who were sexually harassed, and they have the right to choose not to have that baby. Nobody wants a child with a father who doesn´t know who is or doesn´t love him. Abortion is one of the most controversial problems in these times, both in the way they are practiced and in the way of cataloging it as it is the cause of controversies that impact our society. Mothers do not suffer in most of the cases, because they do not imagine that they could not be in this world if their mothers had done the same as them. When the abortion is started, they do not imagine that the person who was going to be born could be a salvation for all of us. He could have been a scientist or an inventor, a warrior or a spy. Every time someone dies of an abortion, it is a lot of lives less because that human being that was going to be born could have thousands of descendants and those descendants like him could be our salvation in some case of our life. So, in my opinion, abortion is a practice that from what I have been able to read should not be practiced since it is taking the life of an innocent being and he is not to blame for our actions, because we should have thought...

...His Specialty is Death On June 4, 1990, Janet Adkins, 54-year-old English teacher from Portland who suffered from Alzheimer's disease said her final goodbyes to Carroll Rehmke, her best friend of 34 years. Then prone in the back of a Volkswagen van in Michigan, she pressed a button to set in motion a machine, which administered saline solution, sodium thiopental to send her into a deep coma and finally a lethal dose of potassium chloride to stop her heart (Wilson). The machine was the brainchild of the Detroit medical pathologist Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Doctor Kevorkian, known as Dr. Death, claimed to have helped 130 people commit suicide when terminally ill, died in Detroit. He was 83. Born in Pontiac, Michigan, to Armenian immigrants, Jacob Kevorkian cultivated multiple talents throughout his life, graduating from the University of Michigan Medical School at Ann Arbor in 1952 and pursuing painting and music as well as medicine. He composed jazz tunes, loved listening to Bach fugues and worked on canvases that glowered with a morbid light. But in the 1980s, he began weighing in on the issue that would make him infamous- euthanasia and the plight of the dying (Chua-Eoan). Some critics complained that he was not really helping the terminally ill but rather dealing with deeply depressed patients, while others appreciated his contributions. Despite all controversies, Dr. Kevorkian was a useful historical forerunner who helped people to begin to think about how to face the management...

...I believe that hunting for sport is wrong. Did you know that nine hundred five animals are extinct and 16,928 are listed as threatened to be extinct? Well, a big amount of those animals were extinct due to hunting. Now I'm not saying that all hunting is wrong because some third world countries have to hunt to survive. Yet in richer countries, people can go to a store to buy their food and they still hunt just for the fun of it. If you ask me, I don’t see the fun of killing an animal that has no chance against someone with a gun. Hunting makes people have the mentality that it’s okay to kill animals and that leads to people killing endangered animals, even if it’s illegal. People just shouldn’t be able to hunt just for the fun of it. One day...

...Murder: The crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought. So I ask you is abortion wrong? Do you think its ok to do so? Should it only be up to the woman? Should people study how to effectively kill an unborn child? Would it be ok if you were raped by someone, whether someone close, or a complete stranger? Is adoption not an option for some? When does the situation become ok for you to even consider this as a legit option? A final option? I feel like abortion shouldn’t even be considered. Abortion is the type of topic that can be strongly argued from both perspectives. Abortion, if thought of a strictly wrong, can come down to your moral belief or how you were brought up? If thought of as ok, then you can say how the child will effective you in the long run, or even if you got pregnant from a bad situation....

...is a debate to whether or not the killing of Lennie in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is considered an act of euthanasia or murder. Clearly, the killing of Lennie is considered an example of euthanasia and George putting him out of his past miseries and what is yet to come in the future. Of greatest significance is the state that Lennie is previously in before his death. Lennie was considered a danger to those around him. There is quite a list of great length of animals that he has previously killed, although he didn’t necessarily mean to do it. Just one example that showcases this is, “Lennie sat in the hay and looked at the little dead puppy that lay in front of him” (Steinbeck 85). Lennie then proceeded to say, “Why do you got to get killed? ‘You ain’t so little as mice” (Steinbeck 85). However, now, a human is apart of that list, as well. In the novel, it was said that, “...He shook her; and her body flopped like a fish. And then she was still, for Lennie had broken her neck” (Steinbeck 91). If he continued on and moved to a new place, he could have put many others in the risk of danger. Who is to determine how many deaths would occur until something was finally done about Lennie? Equally important is what would end up with Lennie if George had not shot him. After killing Curley’s wife, Lennie was either going to be hunted down and painfully killed by Curley or locked up in a mental institution as mentioned by Slim when he says, “An’ s’pose they...

...Bullying is very wrong but some people mistake bullying for something else for instance if someone teases you once they think that that’s bullying but it’s not bullying, bullying is when one or multiple verbally abuse you or constantly physically abuse you, But in most cases bullying is very wrong and there should be human dignity in everyone. Bullying and Human dignity are to completely different things there is no Human dignity in Bullying. I hope that we can stop bullying in every place that someone doesn't show human dignity and that everyone can just get along and brings out the good human dignity in everyone. The definition of human dignity is to be nice to won and another and to pretty much be nice and respectful to one another. Matthew said in the bible “So in everything, do to others the same way you would like to be treated”. Matthew: 7.12. This is the golden rule it pretty much tells us what human dignity is and how we can use it in everyday life....
