Words: 1525 - Pages: 6.... in gangs will pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making

In addition, if a person causes the death of another, the consent of the deceased does not provide the person who caused the death a defense to criminal responsibility. Is there a difference, do you think, between a person who, at a dying person's request, prepares a poison and leaves it on the bedside for that person to take, and a person who helps the patient to drink it or who administers it directly at the request of a dying person who is unable to take it personally?

females are banned from combat jobs and units,
but in the Persian Gulf War females were assigned
