Can You Hear Me Now? - 0 views

  •  
    This article describes the idea of a "roving bug," which is how the FBI can tap into your cellphone conversations. Apparently, all cellphones have built-in tracking devices that enable the government to listen, and to track you. This assists the government in catching criminals, but makes the public feel as if their privacy is being invaded.

Oregon's Law Withstands the Test of Time - 2 views

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  •  
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  •  
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  •  
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  •  
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  •  
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  •  
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  •  
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  •  
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  •  
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.
