During testimony, he called her a mere "collection of organs" and an "artifact of technological medicine." Nancy's parents petitioned a lower court to order the Missouri Rehabilitation Center at Mount Vernon to starve their daughter. The court granted the petition, but the Missouri Supreme Court overturned the lower court decision, ruling that a decision to withhold or refuse treatment must be an "informed" one, and, most importantly, that the State's interest in human life does not depend on the quality of that life. On appeal, the Cruzan v. Director of Missouri Department of Health case became the first to directly address the question of euthanasia at the United States Supreme Court level. The Court essentially held that the states do not have to yield to family member's demands when a patient's wishes cannot be concretely determined.
Bolante’s Use of Pathos It is hard to imagine our loved ones being removed from their burial plots in a cemetery to make way for an apartment building but this is what is happening in Waikiki. Ronna Bolante’s article, “Bones of Contention,” analyzes the issues that arise when an ancient Hawaiian burial site is found during construction. Bolante uses pathos to invoke empathy from the reader. Pathos, the Greek work for suffering or experience, illustrates the speaker’s or author’s perception to the reader or audience. The article attempts to appeal to the reader’s sense of family, as anyone would be horrified if their loved ones’ graves were disturbed.

But that Lin is gone, transformed into Lin the Artist, who, despite having served on the panel that chose a design for the memorial at the World Trade Center site, wants to project an image of disengagement from the huge civic issues she raised.

He is not only informally treating and collecting specimen from his daughter, but he is also not documenting any of the treatments that he is doing. This is a major problem and could be subject to intervention by the law. Joe is risking his medical credibility by doing this for his daughter. He is also performing these tests without the direct supervision of the supervising physician, which goes against the code of conduct (2013). If a physician assistant violates laws that vary from state to state, the physician assistant could be subject to license suspension or being

Paula wanted to continue working for NewCorp but did not want to continue working under Sam, therefore she applied for a transfer to the wire-coating department. Sam blocked the transfer citing that because Paula could become pregnant that department would not be a good fit for her. By blocking the transfer Sam has now made NewCorp liable for discrimination charges under Title VII. Title VII make it unlawful for companies to discriminate against persons based on their sex. By not allowing the transfer based on the fact that the chemical used in this department could harm a fetus makes this disparate-treatment discrimination.
Rosaleen believes that Lily should just leave the topic alone and that she may discover something she just does not want to know. Rosaleen fears that Lily will be more hurt by her discoveries in finding her past that happy and relieved, “ ‘Maybe she was. I can’t say. I just know some things are better left alone.’ ‘What do you mean? That I shouldn’t find out what I can about my own mother?’ ‘What if—’ She paused and rubbed the back of her neck, ‘What if you find out something you don’t wanna know?’ " (Kidd, 100) Another controversial view studied by Emanuel states that Lily must confront the hardship of her mother’s death head on and that it may have a
“Physician Assisted Suicide" SOC120 Introduction to Ethics and Social Responsibility Shannon Sellers October 21, 2013 Should a person be allowed to ask for physician assistance to terminate their own life?

When it comes to the decision to end one’s life due to a terminal illness with unmanageable pain a physician is not allowed to assist one in dying.
