    Author Kevin Cox discusses Arizona's lenient gun laws. The article implies that Arizona's gun laws are, perhaps, too lenient. People may purchase a firearm with more ease in Arizona than any other state.

    The contents of this article covers the lenient laws surrounding the law that allows citizens to carry concealed weapons with little to no training, and little to know knowledge of the purchasers background, placing society in danger.

    There is a broad definition for Attachment Disorder, according to the Attachment Center. Generally, a child has a hard time bonding and making emotional connections with others, particularly parents or guardians. A number of specialists in child development suggest that it may be the result of a child who feels abandoned or uncared for because of experiences in their early relationships that were negative.

    Grandparents Rights differ from state to state, but it is not uncommon to hear stories of grandparents who do not get so much as visitation with their grandchildren. If parents object to their children having visitation with their grandparents, the court will oblige, treating the grandparents as if they were strangers. It is possible for grandparents to petition the court for custody or visitation, if the courts find it in the best interest of the child.

    Can the U.S. continue without privacy laws in place for its citizens? It basically boils down to if the big industries "can agree on adequate policies that balance privacy and profits." The people are asking for basic privacy laws for the internet, but that would mean a tight leash on big company data collecting and everything else implied.

    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.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 31 Aug 13
     
    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.
  • Donette Fincher on 01 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Destini Boorman on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Rick Gordon on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.
  • Brandon Charette on 02 Sep 13
     
    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.

    The World Health Organization is taking on a new project called Quality Rights. The projects goal is to improve the health services given to the mentally ill. Abuse, violence, and mistreatment has increased in many mental heath facilities. These facilities also do not give employees the amount of training they need in order to care for the ill.

    This article talks about all the benefits our country would have if we legalized all drugs like countries like Amsterdam does. It would get rid off all organized crime. It would prevent the spread of disease.Reduces violent crimes and theft. People are given clean needles and their doses are monitored. Statistics also show that people who live in this type of a society usually stop using the drug eventually.
