.... law, and that any doctors who did so could be prosecuted and lose their license to prescribe all drugs regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). However, the medical use of marijuana has been gaining respectability. Several states have research programs of their own and some governors, including Republican William Weld of Massachusetts, openly endorse medical legalization. The editor of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, Jerome Kassirer, lambasted the Clinton administration in an editorial entitled, "Federal Foolishness and Marijuana," that received national attention. "To prohibit physicians from allevia .....

.... suicide or euthanasia. “Physician-assisted suicide occurs when the physician provides the patient with the means and/or knowledge to commit suicide�(Death and Dying,91). “Euthanasia is when the physician administers the death causing drug or agent�(Death and Dying,92). The most recent case is that of The State of Florida v. Charles Hall. “Charles Hall is dying of AIDS and challenged the State of Florida to let him die by a self-administered lethal injection without fear of prosecution�(http://www.rights.org/ deathnet/open.html).

.... trivial.) Furthermore, patients with benign forgetfulness usually can remember what was forgotten by utilizing a number of subterfuges, such as writing lists or notes to themselves and leaving them in conspicuous places (Horton and Smart, 1984, p. 320). Individuals with benign forgetfulness also are acutely aware of their memory deficit, while those with dementia - except for in the early stages of the disease - have no insight into their memory deficit and often blame others for their problems. In addition to the memory deficit interfering with the patient's daily activities, patients with dementia have evidence of impaired abstract t .....

.... human lives? We kill our animals because they have a terminal illness or because they are suffering. Therefore, people, as higher beings, should have the right to decide whether they want to end their suffering. Denying terminally ill patients the right to die with dignity is unfair and cruel. It is worse to keep someone alive who doesn’t want to live and suffer from pain, rather than letting them have a peaceful and less painful death through euthanasia. An true example of someone who deserves a peaceful and less painful death is Susan Hess. She suffers from multiple myeloma, a rare bone marrow cancer that destroys the blood, .....

.... differing symptoms. Physiologically speaking, the two main effects of the body's released mediators (IgE) during an anaphylactic reaction are smooth muscle contraction and vasodilatation, which cause most of the body's adverse symptoms. (JAMA, 11/26/82) Since the most life threatening reactions usually involve the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, that is where emergency treatment is focused. In the cardiovascular system, a combination of vasodilatation, increased vascular permeability, tachcycardia, and arrhythmias can lead to severe hypotension. In the respiratory system, the swelling of tissues along with bronchospasm and in .....

.... party leaders the law was passed. Prime Minister John Howard disapproved with the Law and saying that he has no problem reconciling his views on federalism with his views on life and death by voting to over turn the law. Also Kevin Andrews was strongly not in favour and with Howard's support he introduced a bill overriding the N.T laws. But still in the end the law was still standing. If our leaders are divided we could say that the citizens of Australia would have been divided on this Issue. Maybe a referendum would have been appropriate, but still euthanasia would still occur illegal and secrecy. Christian groups and Christian ha .....

.... is intentional. False memory syndrome is especially destructive because the person assiduously avoids confrontation with any evidence that might challenge the memory. Thus it takes on a life of its own, encapsulated and resistant to correction. The person may become so focused on the memory that he or she may be effectively distracted from coping with real problems in his or her life.� Jo hn F. Kihlstrom, Ph.D. There are many theorys that try to explain how memory works, still we are not sure that's how memory works. One of the most amazing theorys of how memory works, is the one which says that every experience a person has had is .....

.... success of the attempts, while "the role of Health Locus of Control [was found to be] complex needing further investigation" (Stuart, Borland, & McMurray, 1994, p. 1). The second article for review is titled, Sensation Seeking, Nicotine Dependence, and Smoking Motivation in Female and Male Smokers. This study was conducted using a sample of French smokers (36 F, 60 M) and non-smokers (23 F, 45 M). The goal of the experiment was to study "the relationship between sensation seeking and smoking" (p. 221). The objectives of the study was (a) to see if smokers are higher in sensation seeking than their non-smoking counterparts, (b) to see i .....

.... control products and sex education, instead of distributing free condoms. Passing out free condoms at high schools may have a negative effect on the way young adults view sex. In high school, young adult's emotions and feelings are still very immature; therefore, passing out condoms may be promoting teenagers to have sex. Parents think giving free condoms to children sends mixed messages on what to think about sex education or how to have sex. Promoting safe sex and distributing free condoms in high schools are great ways to control the rampant spread of sexually transmitted diseases and high levels of teen childbirth. Whether it is a l .....

.... took place at about the same time in the Tokyo subway system on March 20, 1995. The five packages were disguised to look like lunch boxes or soda conta iners and it was reported that the chemical agent used was an impure or dilute solution of sarin, a nerve agent developed by Nazi Germany during the '30's. This was the beginning of a frightening future for the modern world. "Organized and indiscriminat e murder" (Tokyo, A1) on a large scale is clearly possible and chemical weapons are likely to be a terrorist's vehicle for mass destruction. The threat of terrorist use of chemical weapons is now quickly forcing its way into the thoughts .....
