(Mitford, 4)” Her statement gives the meaning for why the body is being embalmed. Simply meaning that Mr. Jones corpse lies in the operation room for embalming, as he is being prepared to be presented in front of his loved ones for a viewing to say their goodbyes. This is primarily the reason for embalming. Embalming is commonly needed in order to see the deceased by the living for a final look. Some individual’s opinions may be that embalming shows weakness for those who want it done to their loved ones.
On the other hand, should we see this as another way to help those who are in need? Now what would be a moral route to help those in need of organs? In general donating one`s organ is seen as praiseworthy. This route is accomplished by “willing” benefit of others after one`s death. A person may decide to dispose of his or her body by allowing it to be used to replace parts needed by the sick and suffering.
Even though it is already legal, at first when it became legal it spread around quickly. The fear was that doctors would be basically killing patients who maybe have psychological problems and have nothing to do with being physically ill. There was a statement made where it said: “Dutch doctors have gone from killing the severely ill, to the disabled and even the depressed who aren’t physically sick.” In addition too, this case about assisted suicide is iffy because under age patients like 18 year old may ask for it if they do have a problem and are in contact with a physician. The problem with that is maybe they aren’t sure of what they want and are taking the toll on their lives. The way of looking at this is giving medical care and love and compassion to these people.
Since they may know that father’s apartment they can pack away his belongings instead of a cleaning company. They must remove throw rugs, throw away old food and expired medications, install bars in the bathroom and hallways. Social Isolation With positive social support, it can help him to receive continuing encouragement to get well and have a faster recovery.

There are laws now regulating what animal is acceptable to raise in our homes. There are laws that keep our property from foreclosure in our financially strained economy. There are laws in place to allow us to choose to die with dignity and laws to decide the death of a convicted criminal. While individuals have the right to make their own choice pertaining to assisted deaths and the government is right by standing by capital punishment, are we right to play God?
Dylan 1 Dylan Quick ENGL 1301 Jill Barris October 23, 2010 Fixing Up The Dead The Embalmer in the story was talking about the routines and how to make the corpse look good for the grieving mourners at the funeral home. First thing to do is to drain the blood out of the body so the body will not be infected and the embalmer put the fluid in the corpse to preserve it. “It is necessary to remove the blood, and doing this not only helps the disinfecting, but removes the principal cause of disfigurements due to discoloration.” (312) The embalmer mentioned that there are different kinds of fluids and how they can affect the deceased body. Not only that, the use of the fluids can be determined to use based on the person’s age and type of
For example, although the opposition is stated briefly within the article, there is little attention given to the argument of spirituality and the beliefs that come along with some people’s thoughts on the afterlife and what happens to the human body after one passes away. Carney also uses an argument made by Aaron Spital and James Stacey Taylor in their article, “Routine Recovery of Cadaveric Organs for Transplantation: Consistent, Fair, and Life-Saving,” published by the American Society of Nephrology, that states, “…the government reserves the right to draft young men against their will into war and risk their lives in combat operations” (as cited in Carney, 2007). This statement seems to constitute a fallacy in that it is drawing the reader’s attention away from the actual argument and is instead trying to play upon a sense of patriotic obligation. It is in the author of this review’s opinion that this quote is distracting from the argument and takes away from the validity of what is being proposed. The target audience of the
A growing concern on the epidemic and within the anthropological community remains to be the fashion in which the population disposes of their dead. The World Health Organization has released a safe burial resource that helps to alleviate the spread of the disease through the burial and transportation of the diseased deceased. This resource includes the guidelines for the appropriate procedure to prepare, transport and bury the body with heavy emphasis on informing the local population on how the spread of the disease is increased with the culture's current burial practice. The World Health Organization or WHO have stated "Be aware of the family’s cultural practices and religious beliefs. Help the family understand why some practices cannot be done because they place the family or others at risk for exposure.
Some of the criticism is part of a larger body of criticism of pathways and guidelines in general. Some critics believe that pathways undermine individualised care and remove the ability of clinicians to make small changes in patient care (Palmer 2008, Rycroft-Malone et al 2008). For more information on this debate, refer to the discussion in Kennedy et al (2009). Some of the criticism of end of life care pathways relates to law and ethics. 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).
We need more organizations like the Organ Transplant Awareness Program to help spread knowledge about transplants and donation.Though donation may seem like some small thing, the decision can save a person’s life. Teenagers and children who need a
