The Law On Assisted Suicide | The Kevorkian Verdict | FRONTLINE | PBS - 0 views

  •  
    Only one state, Oregon, has legalized assisted suicide. The Oregon statute, which went into effect in October 1997, provides that a doctor may prescribe, but not administer, a lethal dose of medication to a patient who has less than six months to live. Two doctors must agree that the patient is mentally competent and that the decision was voluntary. As of April 1999, 23 patients were given drugs under the statute, and 15 of them used the drugs to commit suicide. A report released by the Oregon state Health Division reviewing the first year of the law's implementation found that the law was working well and had not been subject to abuse.

Summary of New Health Reform Law - 0 views

  •  
    This article is very staightforward. It provides the nitty gritty details of the new healthcare law in manageable chunks. Not only does this article summarize the law, it also plugs in numerical values to paint a picture of what PPACA is intended to do and how it affects the employee, employer (small and large), and government.

Health Care at the Crossroads: Personal Freedom or Government Control? - 0 views

  •  
    What does the future hold for us in health care? Many people such as myself and maybe you wonder if there should be a new health care plan or if we should stay with the old. This article talks about the health care issues from the perspective of two individuals, John Shadegg, and Mark McClellan. They speak on behalf of all groups of people. Very interesting article about how some cannot afford insurance.

Health Care reform - 0 views

  •  
    This article summarizes 10 top facts about Health Care Reform. Insurance companies will regulate more heavily. they will be told the minimum for services that they will cover. Everyone will have health insurance or they must pay a fine. Employers will be mandated to provide insurance to the employees or they will be fined also. Which sounds good to me, my employer thinks he doesnt have to give anything at all.

Smoking in public - 0 views

  •  
    This article goes over the California laws on smoking in public. States have been banning smoking in public due to health problems of second-hand-smokers. California has already set up a law stating that a child has the right to breathe in only clean air. So, the law is that no one is allowed to smoke in an area where there is a minor under 18.

Do Mandatory Seat Belt Laws Violate Individual Rights? - 0 views

  •  
    It is a well known fact that is is the federal law to wear a seatbelt when in a motor vehicle. This is due to the thousands that have died because they didn't wear one and got in an accident somehow. However, many feel that this law violated their personal rights. They are convinced that they should be able to wear one or not wear one. It should be up to them.

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

    This article talks about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997. It reviews your personal freedom to die at a time & place of your choice if your facing a terminal illness.

    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.

  •  
    Obama care is somewhat of a bittersweet law. The ones who could not afford health insurance can now afford it but the ones who already had health insurance have to pay more? makes no sense to me but it is helping the country i guess.
