- 1325: Euthanasia - The Right To Die
- ... technology has made it possible to extend the lives of many far beyond when they would have died in the past. Death, in modern times, often ensures a long and painful fall where one loses control both physically and emotionally.

They want their loved ones to remember them as they were not as they have become. Some even elect death to avoid burdens of lingering on. They also seek assistance in doing ... when death is a lesser evil, it is sometimes permissible for us to intend death in order to stop pain.

- ... from their own body to monitor and improve their health. It is the "use of instrumentation to mirror psychophysiological processes of which the individual is not normally aware and which may be brought under voluntary control (Biofeedback pamphlet)." These processes include heart rate, respiration, skin temperature, electrodermal response, muscle tension and other bodily functions that are usually controlled involuntarily. "Bio" means "life" and the word "feed back" means the return of data to its origin. So, biofeedback is "biological information with is returned to the source that created it so that source can understand and have control over it (O'Hair, D.)." The principles of biofeedback date back more than a half a century. "Biofeedback" is a term that was coined in the late 1960's. The theories involved in biofeedback and psychophysiology began with the study on homeostatic mechanisms. The human organism insures its survival through the maintenance of homeostasis.

- 1327: Lord of The Flies: Conflict Between Ralph and Jack

- 1328: Euthanasia: A Question of Ethics
- ... all pain, including pain in terminal illness, is or can be controlled. Some people still die in unspeakable agony. With superlative care, many kinds of pain can indeed be reduced in many patients, and adequate control of pain in terminal illness is often quite easy to achieve. Nevertheless, complete, universal, fully reliable pain control is a myth. Pain is not yet a "thing of the past", nor are many associated kinds of physical distress. Some kinds of conditions, such as difficulty in swallowing, are still difficult to relieve without ... pain medication. Many dying patients, including half of all terminal cancer patients, have little to no pain, but there are still cases in which pain management is difficult. Finally, there are cases in which pain control is theoretically possible but for various reasons does not occur. Some deaths take place in remote locations where there are no pain-relieving resources. Some patients are unable to communicate the nature or extent ...
- 1329: Assisted Suicide
- ... to us alone, are we sovereign over our bodies, or do they belong to the communities of families in which we are embedded? Second, will this right give the terminally ill a greater sense of control over their circumstances, or will it weaken respect for life?(Carter 2) The first question is ridiculous. It seems as though Carter is trying to say we will no longer be in charge of ourselves, and we will be living in a socialistic society. There is no reason why we should not be able to control the destiny of our lives. We, as human beings, are solely sovereign over our own bodies. Therefore, it is the terminally ill patient who should have the ability to choose death over life. It is ... to change anything with people who are not terminally ill. The second question, on the other hand, has some validity and logic to it. Doctor assisted suicide would give the dying a certain sense of control. It would enable the patient to have a certain feeling of power, knowing that he or she has the ability to complete his or her life upon request. This may sound somewhat awkward; however, ...

- ... do about it.' I sat back and enjoyed my first trip to Europe." Yet another rifleman who was carried to the beach in the LCVP’s relates one of his incidents: "I got on the gun. I set the gun up, and we’re looking, we’re looking. He says, "See if you can spot him." All of a sudden I spotted him, about 200 yards away, and I’d say maybe 30 or 40 ... Germans, when they fire, they fire fast, they don’t fire like we did, because they change the barrels of their machine guns in seconds. Ours were a pain. We had to take the whole gun apart and screw the barrel off, and then put another barrel on. They would get hot if you fired like the Germans. We only fired bursts of three or four at a time. The ...
