Assisted Suicide: Education Over Legal Infiltration
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Allowing a person the same inherent right to die that accompanies the right to live is to respect the fact that people are free to make any and all choices that pertain to their individuality. Just because one person believes it is unethical for a doctor to commit physician-assisted suicide does not mean that this is the deciding factor; rather, what stands as opinion can be taken only for opinion and not law. A terminally ill patient who elects to be euthanized in order to escape the ravages of pain is not in a position to be judged. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Australia: Law And Ethics Of Euthanasia
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The concept of right to die is one that prevents terminally ill patients from having to endure one more moment of an artificial existence. Being kept alive through the intervention of drugs and other invasive treatments goes against the very grain of what is known as one's quality of life. In order to have quality of life, the patient must be in such a frame of mind and body where life is a pleasure and not merely a perpetual struggle. A person who is suffering from a terminal illness inevitably experiences many things that negatively impact the daily routine; it is not long before the patient is forced to depend upon others to do many of the menial tasks that once were a simple part of everyday life. As this occurs, individuals encounter feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy, believing that they have become a burden to those around them. Australian law recognized these issues when the Northern Territory legalized active voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide in 1995; with this legislation, the terminally ill breathed a heavy sigh of relief. However, the laws affecting euthanasia are complex and differ from State to State in Australia. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Back To The Future of Gene Therapy

Bioethics And Nazi Human Experimentation
[ send me this paper ]
A 26 page paper. Four questions were posed for this paper; the responses to those questions are embedded in the text. Those questions are: Is it morally acceptable to use data obtained in Nazi Germany during World War II? Is the data so valuable that we should allow its use for treatments, etc.? By using the data, are we complicit or condoning the data procurement? Is the Jewish Community taking a unique stand, regarding their position? A lot of background is needed before addressing these issues. The paper first explains what bioethics is and identifies some of the issues in bioethics. The paper discusses the long history of medical experiments on humans. This moves the discussion into the human experiments conducted in the Nazi concentration camps. The next section provides some background on Jewish bioethics and comments on other religious groups who share the same opinions. Bioethical dilemmas directly related to the questions are discussed. The last section responds directly to the initial questions. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
