- ... feel that assisted suicide is a practice that should not only be legally acceptable, but socially acceptable as well. No one should be forced to live a life of pain and suffering.

A person willing to help sick people end their suffering should ... everyone whether they admit or not. Should a person and their family be forced to spend thousands of dollars a day on medical expenses just so the patient can continue living a life he doesn't even want to keep? This medical treatment, in some instances, can only extend a life by mere weeks. In theory, this treatment is just adding on more weeks of pain and suffering.

- ... opposition to these mind-expanding tools. The once highly regarded gift from God was viewed as a menace that would be the cause of the ending of social conformity in North America during the 1960 s. Honourable judges, parents and fellow competitors. The individual right of access to his or her own brain has become a significant political, economic, and cultural issue in our society.

Two of huge factories privately owned in Boston were Francis Lowell's Boston Manufacturing Company in Waltham and Merrimack Manufacturing Company in Lowell. As the role of women in society became more indiscriminate, young females dominated factory towns such as Lowell. They came from all over New England's farms and small towns, worked for a few years and then returned. Thus the mill populations were transient.

- 10306: Factors Of Parasitic Virulence
- ... to offspring) tend to be less virulent than parasites transmitted horizontally (between unrelated individuals of the same or different species). Studies in which virulence is shown to increase during parasite-host interaction, as in Ebert's (1994) experiment with Daphnia magna, necessitate a synthesis of traditionally discrete factors to predict a coevolutionary outcome. habitually use the word decrease before the word virulence are encouraged to replace the former with modulate, which ... exhibit low virulence, suggesting that success in parasite suprapopulation range and abundance may be the result of reduction in virulence over time. Hookworms are present in the small intestines of one-fifth of the world's human population and rarely induce mortality directly (Hotez 1995). Evolution toward a higher level of virulence has been regarded as an unexplainable anomaly. Parasites which do less harm presumably have an advantage throughout a long coevolutionary association with their hosts. Ebert's (1994) experiment with the planktonic crustacean Daphnia magna and its horizontally transmitted parasite Pleistophora intestinalis suggests that coevolution does not determine the direction of the modulation of virulence. Virulence decreased with the geographic distance ...

- 10309: The Sunflower - An Introspecti
- Simon Wiesenthal asks the question, What would I have done ? We are asked to put one s self in his place. This is not an easy task.

As this author has never suffered such severe persecution, one must call upon the force of one s imagination. Even with the most active and vivid of imaginations, one falls short of the comprehension necessary to obtain a clear and succinct overall picture of oppression. But, as the question being asked is one ... each and every rational human being. This author found great admiration for the answer given by the Dalai Lama to the above question of Wiesenthal.
