personal+freedoms health Death with Dignity Act

    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.

    Article on search and seizure/racial profiling, not just in Arizona, but what about the rest of the country. US immigration officials are doing this all over the country under the guise of border patrol. Is it fair?

    This site gives a good overview of cell phone use by Canadian drivers. 66% of Canadian drivers believe that using a cell phone while driving is a very serious safety issue. In Canada, Alberta has the highest rate of cell phone use, while Nova Scotia has the lowest, according to statistics published in 2008.

    "Pros and Cons of whether concealed handguns should be allowed" Again this site provides both sides of the current argument (this time on concealed guns). It should provide a good reference for further research, and in helping give direction to a paper.

  • anonymous on 31 Jan 15
     
    in 2012, Americans threw out over 35 million tons of food! This statistic is 20 percent more than what we threw out in 2000. Approximately a third of all food produced worldwide never gets eaten. This is not the biggest problem though, food landfills produce methane. This is at least 20 times more lethal than carbon dioxide.

    Technology has become a huge part of our lives. It is a little scary to think about how life would be with out the internet or cellphones. For most of us it seems easier and more fun to stay at home and surf the web, game it out, or watch movies. Paper maps are a thing of the past.

    Privacy is mostly an illusion. A useful illusion, no question about it, one that allows us to live without being paralyzed by self-consciousness. The illusion of privacy gives us room to be fully human, sharing intimacies and risking mistakes. But all the while, the line between private and public space is as porous as tissue paper.

    Congress needs to acknowledge the reality that most immigrants are here to stay.Businesses should have the freedom to hire any immigrant worker long as the immigrant does not violate the property rights of other Americans.They should have high standards and requirements to qualify for working, citizenship,government funded benefits, and education.

    Many people are outraged that obama reformed anti immigration laws allowing immigrants without papers stay. This opens the door for millions of immigrants job opportunities.
