The author explains both sides of circumcision as stated by doctors. She also explains that it is every parent's choice to circumcise or not but it's recently become a controversy. Some parents feel it is taking away their son's personal choice and feel the child's human rights are violated.

A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to request that women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they're using it for non-sexual reasons. And because Arizona's an at-will employment state, that means that bosses critical of their female employees' sex lives could fire them as a result. I like that this article gets down to the nit and grit of what an outlandish claim everyone is making against birth control. This article is explaining how invasive this policy is to allow employers to decide on whether to provide insurance for birth control.

This proposed bill actually says that an employer can ask to see a doctors note saying that the woman is perscribed birth control, but has to be for other reasons than not wanting to get pregnant.

Although these patient rights are not written anywhere, there are some rights that are thought of to be true or given. Some of these rights are based on respect and some on the responsibilities of the patient,

I liked this article and i especially enjoyed the part that lists some of the patients responsibilities, one of which was "respect the providers". I think some patients don't understand that just because they are in pain, it does not give them the right to be overly rude to their healthcare providers (i.e nurses, doctors ma, pharmacists, etc).

Few states have passed the law that terminally ill individuals can choose to end their lives with a lethal medication. Montana ruled that doctors cannot be prosecuted in assisting of one's death but cannot guarantee it's a constitutional right.

The issue of whether or not patients have a right to die is explored, as well as whether or not those who help such people should be considered murderers. It gives anecdotes about family members who could not bear to see their loved ones suffer, and offers opinions on both sides of the issue.

As parents do we have the right to say "NO" to drugging our children? I found this article to be very informative. This article suggests that we as parents need to question the responses given to us by our doctors. There are many cases of misdiagnosis. In some states there are schools that have rules in place if your child is diagnosed with ADHD and ADD they are required to take Ritalin. If you "opt out" the school can tell you not to bring your child to school anymore! Considering I have a child they are trying to get me to medicate, this issue hit home for me. There are many recorded deaths that have occurred as a result of taking this drug. That is a chance I am not willing to take.

This webpage is all aspects of the topic of assisted suicide. It talks about the diffrent states that now allow assisted suicide and gives you links to other webpages that has to do with this subject. It also talks about the doctor who made assisted suicide a big issue, Dr. Jack Kevorkian.

This site is informative in giving women information about their prenatal care. It educates women about the different options they have in choosing a prenatal care provider along with the options for delivering the baby. It also takes you thru what to expect in your prenatal visits and the tests that should be run in order to provide essential good quality prenatal care.

It would be smart for a pregnant women to know about the different options she has for the birth of her child. Women should seek the different specialized doctors to be educated on the healthiest way to give birth. More knowledge for the mother equals a healthier baby.

this was really cool to read I mean obviously it is important for women to understand how this all works, but I think its equally as important for the guys to read and understand that way they can be more knowledgable and be more involved in the process.
