Abortion Report
789 Words - 3 Pages

.... report. I will first talk about Pro-Choice. Through the years this has obviously been the thinking of our nation because abortion remains legal (Bill Clinton is Pro-Choice). This is also the thinking of many woman's rights movements and organizations. From reading a paper on Pro-Choice it states as its heading that abortion should be a woman's right to choose what she does with her body, and it should not be altered or influenced by anyone else. This right is guaranteed by the ninth amendment, which contains the right to privacy. This brings up a very interesting point, which is that the ninth amendment is a strong argument in the fight for Pro-Choice. It states that ....


Legalizing Physician Assisted Suicide
881 Words - 4 Pages

.... quickening the death process. Euthanasia is an option of dying quickly, rather than being forced to stay alive and endure a condition of medical degradation that is irreversible. This end of life decision returns the matter of choice to the patient in controlling the kind of treatment received in the final days of life. The dying individual regains dignity and respect in this difficult right to die issue. There are several terms related to euthanasia that must be understood. In this country the most widely used right to die policy comes in the form of refusing medical treatment. This term is known as passive euthanasia. This is the allowing of the disconnection of lif ....


Ebola: A Contagious Trend
975 Words - 4 Pages

.... goal when faced with this disease. The Ebola virus belongs to a group of “negative-stranded RNA viruses.” To date, there are five different recorded cases of the Ebola strand. Ebola Zaire, Sudan, Reston and Tai. Though all have been known to cause serious internal damage to all types of organs, whether it is human or animal, Ebola Reston does not seem pose a threat to humans in any way. “Ebola viruses are spread though direct contact with a person who is very ill with the disease. Usually wide-spread action of the virus takes place among hospital care workers or family members who were aiding an infected person.” Ebola can spread by the reuse of hypodermic n ....


Leprosy
478 Words - 2 Pages

.... term was translated as lepros, which the word leprosy came from. The disease’s probable origin was the Indus Valley that is located in India. Leprosy spread from there to the Mediterranean region and North Africa, then all of Europe was affected. This disease is much less common now, as the world case count has dropped below 1 million. During 1995 about 530 000 new cases of leprosy were discovered. It is obvious that third world countries have way more cases as India, Indonesia, and Myanmar account for almost 70% of the cases reported in the world. 5500 know cases of Leprosy still exist in the US, and about 200 cases a reported annually. Tests to produce lepros ....


Factors That Influence Drug Addiction
855 Words - 4 Pages

.... psychiatric health influence this process. It is the influence of each of these biological and psychological factors that creates, maintains, and subsequently sustains addiction. The availability of the drugs play the most prominent role in the addiction process. Simply stated, if drugs and/or alcohol did not exist there couldn’t conceivably be a drug addiction. Nevertheless, drugs and alcohol do exist, so it isn’t their existence that effects the addiction, but how readily available to the addict each substance is. The Vietnam Veterans, who used heroin during the war, are an excellent example of how availability strengthens the addiction process. Opiates were very ....


Abortion Is Morally Wrong
950 Words - 4 Pages

.... sustain (Waldman 20).” The abortion rate today is approximately 1.5 million a year. Around eighty-two percent of people who have abortions are unmarried or separated. Surprisingly, less than one percent of abortions are the result of rape. Many women regret having abortions and wish they would’ve let their child live. Still, others are relieved. Many people believe that abortion is not morally wrong. These people don’t believe that a fetus is a human being. They also believe that a mother has a right to choose what goes on with her body. These people are said to be pro-choice, because the right for a mother to chose is their main argument. There are also some sp ....


AIDS

.... less infectious. There are several things that one can do to prevent becoming HIV positive. One items is that you can practice abstinence, or on a more realistic view, one should be monogamous and always use condoms. It has been researched that the use of condoms lowers the risk of becoming HIV infected by 90%. Although this protection is not 100% it is the only way that actually helps prevent you from getting the virus. I think that society should make condoms more accessible to young people, I believe they should have condom machines in girl and guys school bathrooms. I also feel that they should be distributed in school social events such as dances or proms, when it i ....


All You Need To Know About AIDS
3033 Words - 12 Pages

.... History and Overview: AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Defficiency Disease. It is caused by a virus. The disease origiunated somewhere in Africa about 20 years ago. There it first appeared as a mysterious ailment afflicting primarily heterosexuals of both sexes. It probably was spread especially fast by primarily female prostitutes there. AIDS has already become a crisis of STAGGERING proportions in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it is estimated that over twenty percent of the adults currently carry the virus. That figure is increasing. And what occurred there will, if no cure is found, most likely occur here among heteroosexual f ....
