    The right of a patient to refuse treatment is based upon five constitutional protections [1]: n the 8th amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment n the 1st amendment's protection of free speech (freedom of thought / ideas) n the 1st amendment's protection of freedom of religion n the more broadly interpreted right to privacy n the 14th amendment's protection of liberty (the right to be free from unjustified intrusions on personal security).

    Marriage serves two different purposes in religion and government. Same-sex couples wish for the same treatment as married couples under the eyes of the law. Society should stop the argument over who can marry and get back to more important issues, such as addressing divorce rates.

    This website discusses the issue of physician-assisted suicide. It explores the ethics of such an act, as well as the proliferation of such requests. It offers the opinion that doctors must respect the patient's wishes not to endure life-prolonging treatments that do little to help the patient's quality of life. However, it does not advocate nor denigrate assisted suicide.

    South Carolina charges women for "fetal abuse" because of using cocaine during her pregnancy and as a result the child was stillborn. The law makes it possible to charge a woman for using drugs during a pregnancy. There are also rehabilitation treatments that are offered but many contest that it will intimidate possible candidates.

    The majority of people, when thinking of health care, consider things such as physical illnesses and things of that sort. Many do not think of mental health, which is an extremely pertinent part of an individual's quality of life. The problems and issues with obtaining services for mental health and maintaining them, sadly, are quite a few. This makes being able to find and receive the help and treatment needed for individuals' with mental health issues difficult and sometimes nearly impossible.

Obamacare has a provision that forces a person to violate their personal religious beliefs regarding abortion and sterilization. He also brings attention to the Hosanna-Tabor case and the treatment of the Obama administration's assault on traditional marriage.

    Embryonic stem cell research is the most controversial stem cell research since it involves destroying a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are more beneficial than adult stem cells because they grow quicker and target a wider category of diseases. Creating and then destroying embryos is an non ethical treatment of the value of life.

    The only responsible way to manage schizophrenia, most psychiatrists have long insisted, is to treat its symptoms when they first surface with antipsychotic drugs, which help dissolve hallucinations and quiet imaginary voices. Delaying treatment, some researchers say, may damage the brain.

    Right now we have a choice when it comes to medical care. But if certain healthcare reforms and laws pass this may change. If we have a choice between certain types of treatments, a "triage system" may decide our fate in the future.

    This article talks about our personal decision for healthcare coverage will not be possible with ObamaCare. For example your care will be based on "appropriate care" and not the best care possible for your situation.
