.... There have been many cases over the years where a terminally ill patient who is mentally competent has made the choice to either partake in physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. “Physician-assisted suicide occurs when the physician provides the patient with the means and/or knowledge to commit suicide”(Death and Dying,91). “Euthanasia is when the physician administers the death causing drug or agent”(Death and Dying,92). The most recent case is that of The State of Florida v. Charles Hall. “Charles Hall is dying of AIDS and challenged the State of Florida to let him die by a self-administered lethal injection without fear of prosecution”(http://ww ....

.... 1). The majority of the people in the United States do not understand the severity of cystic fibrosis and that it is a serious genetic disorder. PHYSIOLOGY AND CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS Clinical symptoms for CF are caused by the obstruction of organ ducts by the abnormal secretions. They consist of such symptoms as chronic obstructive airways disease, pancreatic insufficiency and malabsorption, high electrolyte concentrations in sweat, sterility due to vas deferens obliteration, and subclinical cirrhosis of the liver . However, as the severity of these symptoms varies in different patients, and because of the presence of normal lungs after birth, it is difficult to make ....

.... Intestinal obstruction, which occurs primarily in infancy (meconium ileus), may require surgery. The liver may also be seriously affected by Cystic Fibrosis. No cure for the disease has yet been found. Cystic fibrosis is the most common inherited fatal disease of Caucasians, occurring about once in every 2500 births. If both parents carry the gene responsible for the disease, they have a one-in-four chance of having an affected child. In 1989, the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis was identified on chromosome 7 (out of 23 chromosomes). Since that time more than 200 different mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene have been described, and tests have been developed to detect ....

.... as the child resolved the Oedipus Complex at age 5 or 6, but this actually happens earlier. A child tends to become strongly masculine or feminine without even having the same sex parent present. Freud argues that all sons unconsciously desire to kill, even if they love, their fathers. He found his own unconscious wish to murder his father in his intensive self analysis in 1897, shortly after the death of his father. Freud says it is only the male child that we find the fateful combination of love for the one parent and simultaneous hatred for the other as a rival. Freud believed Oedipal was a normal part of human psychological growth and it is during this stage childre ....

.... pregnancy to decide if they can in good conscience bring a child into the world, if the answer is yes, then people should proceed with the pregnancy and then determine whether they want to give the child up for adoption. It is a parent's moral responsibility to make sure that the environments which the child will be brought into will be healthy and supportive. It is a far greater crime to treat a child poorly for eighteen years then it is to terminate a fetus that cannot think, feel or is aware of its existence. On the second point of making the way that conception occurred a non- factor I am not saying that having the babies of rapists or in cases of incest is okay. ....

.... how biological neural processing may work (He90). Neural networks provide an effective approach for a broad spectrum of applications. Neural networks excel at problems involving patterns, which include pattern mapping, pattern completion, and pattern classification (He95). Neural networks may be applied to translate images into keywords or even translate financial data into financial predictions (Wo96). Neural networks utilize a parallel processing structure that has large numbers of processors and many interconnections between them. These processors are much simpler than typical central processing units (He90). In a neural network, each processor is linked to many of it ....

.... to good health and long life of which is variable. 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 life giving blood to the end organ supplied by this blood vessel resulting in disease and serious impairment of that ....
