Clearly, slavery and forcing someone to do something against their will could be considered immoral. It might be argued that no one would freely choose to be a prostitute and that all people are coerced into doing so. However, some people freely and knowingly chose to be prostitutes.

A research letter in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, “Why Don’t More Women Report Sexual Assaults to the Police?” written by Margaret J. McGregor, was an interest to me. There are several reasons why sexual assaults are underreported – embarrassment, misconceptions, miscommunication between the victim and the police, no police involvement, re-victimization, fear, blame, and even cultural beliefs. Throughout this paper I will be discussing these reasons and the author’s position, along with my own opinion agreeing with the author of this journal. The title, “Why Don’t More Women Report Sexual Assaults to the Police” written and peer reviewed by Margaret J. McGregor, Ellen Wiebe, Stephen A. Marion, and Cathy Livingstone, was something that grabbed my attention very quickly. It has always been a question in my mind, why don’t they report if they have been sexually assaulted, especially after a rape?
Prostitution is a growing issue which has caused controversy cross-culturally and historically and which has many individuals re-examining the logistics of it. Theoretically prostitution is legal in Canada but the practice of it is not. The criminal code prohibits all forms of communication publically for the purpose of prostitution, and also most forms of indoor prostitution such as running, transporting or occupying bawdy house, procuring or living on the avails of prostitution.

The commercial sex industry in Canada also includes massage parlours, escort services and strip clubs.
Canada must take steps towards legalization of prostitution The prostitution problem cannot be solved neither by strict criminalization nor by complete legalization and only a well-chosen and weighed set of appropriate legislative rules and regulations can improve the terrible state of the sex workers in modern Canada. A lot of research has been done and hundreds of articles have been published on the prostitution problem. After one gets acquainted with periodic editions and scholarly articles related to the sex trade, it is impossible to miss the fact that changes in the sex work related legislation are more than expected throughout the sex work industry. The fact that prostitution is a highly stigmatized, criminalized and disgraced sector
Assisted Suicide Assisted Suicide Ethics is defined as a “systematic study of and reflection on morality.” Analyzing ethical issues in a systematic way brings us to utilize the six-step process to illustrate the critical thinking process. I read the article ‘Judge Lifts Assisted-suicide Ban’ from the Portland Press Herald (Portland Press, 2012) that discusses an issue in British Columbia legalizing the right to assisted suicides. This is a curious matter in health care, especially as a future nurse who has been taught to advocate for my patients. Countries are continuously fighting the issue of assisted suicide as their population ages. In Canada it has been illegal to “counsel, aid or abet a suicide” (Portland Press, 2012) with a maximum sentencing of 14 years.
