- 2011: Aspartame and Olestra: Will We Buy the Bull?
- ... the best I can. Laboratories have created food substitutes to help three groups of people: obese, diabetics and people suffering of heart disease. For these people, eating is a tedious task, as they have to control the sugar and fat levels of every food they ingest. It is why I think that food substitutes come to them somehow like a miracle. Until now, diabetics, for example, were faced with two choices ... leave a tart aftertaste and Caprenin, a compound that mimics the taste and feel of cocoa butter, with the advantage of containing zero fat. Obese people, for their part, may finally be able to take control of their bodies. Some types of obesity are caused by a defect in genes that disrupt the body's "I've had enough to eat" signal.

In these conditions, I believe that food substitutes are a good way to help us control our energetic intake. It is possible that all these substitutes, chemically engineered, are bad for our health. First, they are not natural compounds. We do not know for sure what are the effects of ...

- 2013: What is Euthanasia?
- ... with the chooser" (1028). This is evidenced quite simply by the mere fact that everyone has civil rights and liberties. No one can decide who should die and who should not. Everyone is in complete control of his/her own life and; therefore, should be free to decide.

The belief that individuals facing terminal illnesses and or certain death in a short period of time should have the "right to die with as much control and dignity as possible" is shared by both Kevorkian and Quill (Quill 434).

There ... run its course, this way she would be able to say her final good-byes to her family. Her only worry was that in the final stages of her death, would she be able to control herself, or would she slip away in agony. To avoid this she asked Dr. Quill if he would give her a prescription for barbiturates so that when the end was near she would be able to control her death.

Perry no longer has any cognitive abilities, he does not recognize anyone that he once knew, he cannot communicate in any way, and he has no meaningful control over his body or its functions.

His family has been impacted in ways no one could have foreseen; his ... could request euthanasia, and under what conditions that option could be exercised. So in which situations would active euthanasia be ethically acceptable? First and foremost, patient request or approval would be mandatory, with families having control regarding any decision for children and incompetent adults, with physician input, recommendation, and documentation. This stipulation alone should curtail discussion regarding any type of "slippery slope" defense. Certainly competent adults with a confirmed diagnosis of ... as opposed to living a life he or she finds unacceptable in the extreme. But unrelieved pain should not be the only condition under which death is allowed.

- 2017: Why I Believe In Voluntary Euthanasia
- ... my in depth research, and being aware of many hundreds of self-deliverances, I can attest that even the most determined supporters of euthanasia hang on until the last minute -- sometimes too long, and lose control. They, too, gather with their families and friends to say goodbyes. There are important reunions and often farewell parties. Euthanasia supporters enjoy life and love living, and their respect for the sanctity of life is as strong as anybody's. Yet they are willing, if their dying is distressing to them, to forego a few weeks or a few days at the very end and leave under their own control.

The cancer had now spread out of control. Jack, about 28, was in constant pain, and his doctor had prescribed an intravenous shot, a pain killer, and this would control the pain for perhaps two hours or a bit more. Then he would begin to moan, or whimper, very low, as though he didn't want to wake me. Then he would begin to howl ... you let him suffer or die painlessly? The doctors planed to remove the tumor, but they knew eventually "nature will take its course." Society does not have the right to tell an individual how to control his own life. If an individual chooses to die, then by all mean he has that right; the right is paramount. Euthanasia is morally correct, although this method of relieving pain has been the ...
- 2019: Female Genital Mutilation: Long Term Psychological Effects
- ... practiced to ensure female virginity until marriage; as it was discovered that by the partial or complete removal of the clitoris, a female's sexual urge is minimized and, therefore, a girl could have more control over her sexual desires.
