Having completed her wish, Matty attempts to kill Ned and Mary Ann Simpson who helped her carry out the mission so that the case could be closed. A woman identified as Matty is found dead and Ned ends up going to jail. There he finds out that Matty’s name was actually Mary Ann Simpson and that the body found dead was that of Matty Tyler, name of her high school friend. This movie definitely bears certain legal issues that give reasons to characters acting in certain ways. Throughout this paper, I will address these issues and show their application in plot.
In particular, critics state that diagnosing death and putting people on end of life care pathways is a form of euthanasia – one newspaper story featured the headline ‘Sentenced to death on the NHS’ (Devlin 2009). This type of criticism is founded on the myths outlined above, particularly those relating to passive and active euthanasia and to withdrawal of treatment. It is worth restating that care pathways allow healthcare professionals to try out treatments and withdraw them if they are not effective, and to reintroduce treatments if patients respond in unexpected ways. A clearer understanding of the ethics and law in this area should help nurses to address these criticisms and reassure themselves that the guidance set out in care pathways is legally and ethically sound.

It's so scary. Everything is at stake.'' However, if her previous conviction is confirmed, Italy would be expected to request her extradition. Undated handout photo of Meredith Kercher Meredith Kercher was found dead in the flat she shared in Perugia with Ms Knox Meredith Kercher, from Coulsdon, south London, was found dead in a flat she shared in Perugia with Ms Knox, a fellow exchange student.

); the enjoyment of all kinds of uncertainty, experimentalism, as a counterweight to this extreme fatalism; abolition of the concept of necessity; abolition of the “will”; abolition of “knowledge-in-itself.” (Nietzsche, 1888) He also tries to use this unique situation to his advantage and win over Rita. In the midst of this unusual cosmic quandary, Phil wonders aloud "What if there were no tomorrow?" In a morbid curiosity to see how far this "never-ending day" can actually go, Phil attempts suicide in several different ways; he steps in front of a fast moving truck, throws himself off the highest building in the town, and even commits suicide by electrocuting himself in the bathtub of his bed and breakfast. This shows the tendency towards having a death wish. However whenever he is "successful" in his attempts at suicide, he is sent back to his room to reawaken and live the day over, with no other person in the town having any recollection of the events of the previous "day" This idea raises the concept of reality being all in Phil's head.
In the beginning of Life Is Beautiful Guido’s son Giosue refuses to take a bath for his mother. This later turns out to be a positive impact of chance on this little boy. In the concentration camp Giosue is asked to strip and take a shower which would have actually been a gas shower intending to kill him. Instead he runs off and hides and does not get into that shower. Similarly in the book Night, Eliezer's father is selected to be killed because of his emaciated and malnourished body in the Buna labour camp.
They also argue that Physician-Assisted-Suicide allows terminally ill patients to avoid unnecessary pain and agony in their final days and also allows the patient to control the manner and timing of his/her own death. Cons Just like there are many pros there are cons to Physician-Assisted-Suicide. Society is fearful of Physician-Assisted-Suicide because they fear being pressured to terminate their lives by the people around them and/or the medical staff. In addition, patients might feel as if they have become a burden to their families and committing suicide will resolve that for his/her family. Another concern would be the message being sent, especially to those who are not terminally ill. Would our younger generation have the understanding that committing suicide is appropriate?
Physician assisted suicide should not be legalized for the simple fact many would give up and take the easy way out. There is currently a pervasive assumption that if assisted suicide and/or voluntary euthanasia (AS/VE) were to legalized, then doctors would take responsibility for making the decision that these interventions were indicated, for prescribing the medication, and (in euthanasia) for administering it .Richard Huxable remarks “that homicide law encompasses various crimes, so prosecutors can choose charges to suit the circumstances. Yet one thing is clear: mercy killing is still killing, equally, murder is murder” Physician assisted suicide is nothing more than cold blooded
To further examine the data the utilitarian ethics approach will be used. It is important to remember that utilitarian ethics considers the consequences of actions. Indentify the Problem: Assisted suicide is it ethical or unethical? Is it right for a physician to assist a patient to kill themselves? This is the main focus of assisted suicide and the justification of the situation has been at debate for a long time.
1.4 Explain why and when inquiries and serious case reviews are required and how the sharing of findings informed practice. Serious Case Reviews When a child dies (including death by suicide), and abuse or Neglect are known or suspected to be a factor in the death, local organisations should consider immediately whether there are other children at risk of harm who require safeguarding (e.g. siblings, other children in an institution where abuse is alleged). Thereafter, organisations should consider whether there are any lessons to be learnt about the ways in which they work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. Consequently, when a child dies in such circumstances, the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) should always conduct a Serious Case Review into the involvement with the child and family of organisations and professionals.
1.1 Introduction to death time estimation In crime scene investigations, time of death (TOD) estimation of the deceased person is a crucial task for a forensic investigator (Rodrigo, 2014). In cases where death occurred in a suspicious or unexplainable manner, TOD estimation is especially important because suspects could defend themselves using alibi, which is by proving that they were not at the place where the crime was committed at the estimated time. Besides that, from the point of view of Henßge & Madea (2004), crime scene investigations become most effective if the TOD is estimated immediately and communicated to the police at the death scene. Despite its importance, the methods of death time estimation and their reliability has received
