staged by Flaherty, for example the igloo scene. It is very obvious that the camera can't fit inside the igloo with causing damage to it so Flaherty created a staged igloo.

their own bodies and lives, so if they choose to put an end to it, they should not be restricted in their access to a way of doing so.

OTHELLO CHARACTERS Othello Beginning with the opening lines of the play, Othello remains at a distance from much of the action that concerns and affects him. Roderigo and Iago refer ambiguously to a “he” or “him” for much of the first scene.

having such seizers were a good thing would have been stunning to American doctors if the message could have been conveyed. Dr. Ernst and Foua largely disagreed. Often, Lia’s treatment seemed merciless to her parents, as it included securing her to her bed where she could not move and giving her medicines that caused terrible side effects (Fadiman, page 43, 49-51). The Lee’s wanted Lia's doctors to help control her seizures; however, they also felt she should be treated using shamanic ritual, which could

In the case of Cassandra and chemotherapy, the central moral tension is Cassandra having her life preserved and having being strapped down to receive the replacement of the tube used to administer the chemotherapy drugs. She wants to protect her human life especially her adolescent life when it has a disease, she just doesn’t want drugs going into her body. An adolescent like Cassandra wants to do what they think is right for their body. Another concern is the doctors having the values of being able
