.... the world, in such places as the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Southeast Mediterranean , and Oceania. This helps to show that AIDS knows no geographical boundries (Folks). This disease has been likened to the Black Plaque that decimated Europe during the middle ages. By April 1984, scientists had identified the virus responsible for AIDS and by March 1995 developed a blood test for it (Combating AIDS 355). This quick progress in the battle even lead Heckler, the secretary of health and human services, to say that a cure was just a few years away. Today, no cure is available and no sure treatment for AIDS symptoms is at hand. People are still contracting and dying from A ....

.... a selection from The Hidden Face of Eve: Women in the Arab World (1980), she explains her argument against female circumcision and retells some interviews she had with women who underwent the operation. El Saadawi goes into detail telling about the procedure that the girls underwent in her culture, usually around the age of seven or eight. The local midwife called the daya, would show up to perform the operation. In most cases two women members of the family would hold the girl by her thighs to expose her genitals and to prevent struggling. Then the daya would proceed to cut of the clitoris of the girl with a sharp razor. One of the women El Saadawi interviewed exp ....

.... doing drugs and having pre-marital sex at a young irresponsable age, it's getting so bad I am beginning to believe that I am the only normal person left. You used to only be able to get an HIV test at your doctor, but now they have home tests that are confidential. You go to the store pick one up prick your finger then mail in the blood sample, in about two or three weeks you call in and enter your special pin number and they give you your results. I think this is cool but there has to be some drawbacks like them getting samples messed up and it getting mixed up in the mail or other stupid things like that, like if you really don't have the disease but you get someone els ....

.... about the risks involved in taking the drugs. Babies born under these drugs may be multiples, which could include the babies being born premature or, having a high risk of developing numerous health problems. Other ways of becoming pregnant include IVF (In-Vertro Fertilization), which takes healthy sperm and a healthy egg and conception in a test tube occurs and then it is transplanted back into the mothers’ womb. This also can create multiple births because of the high number eggs that must be used in order to up the potential of “making a baby”. Many of these couples have options of selected abortion to limit the risk to mother and child. These issues have many f ....

.... It needs food to live. And if you don't take care of the baby, it wouldn't come out. Like if you do drugs or alcohol, it will ruin the child. There is one exception that I would have is if the girl got raped. Even though I still wouldn't approve of it, I think there should be an exception. I think that if the woman had any brains, that she would want to have the loving child. Just think you come home from work one day, and all of the sudden your kid gives you a great big hug. That shows love. And after a long days work, wouldn't anybody want some love from a child. Yeah when they are little they scream, and kick, but they also give love, and affection, and can ....

.... taken today to mean that act which a health care professional carries out to help his/her patient achieve a good death. Suicide, self-deliverance, auto-euthanasia, aid-in-dying, assisted suicide -- call it what you like -- can be justified by the average supporter of the so-called "right to die movement" for the following reasons: The first reason is that an advanced terminal illness is causing unbearable suffering to the individual. This suffering is the most common reason to seek an early end. Second, a grave physical handicap exists that is so restricting that the individual cannot, even after due care, counseling, and re- training, tolerate such a limited existence. This ....

.... year. If I just considered the legal side of things, then this should have been an easy decision for me because of the fact that I was under age and it is obviously illegal for persons who have not yet turned twenty-one to consume alcoholic beverages. This would be the fifth stage of moral functioning, Legality. If you think at this stage, you will follow the rules and laws all the time. The law, however, did not prevent many of my friends from drinking nor did it do much in the way of stopping them after they had started. The law was too easy to avoid so getting caught by the cops was rarely a matter of great concern. Besides, even when one of my friends wou ....
