McGurruth Miguel Instructor A.D. Ulm EN 120A/ 03 23 November 2012 Did you ever wonder why we need death penalty in Pohnpei? Pohnpei really need to have this type of punishment to make its citizens to stop committing crimes. If Pohnpei state will not have this it will get out of control so we must adapt this type of punishment. Pohnpei state government should adapt the process of having death penalty for criminals. There are four important reasons why death penalty which are to reduce chaos, stop crimes, eliminate criminals, and secure citizens.
Not only do they contemplate the fear of death, they probably consider the embarrassment and humiliation that could arise on their family since this type of capital punishment is typically well publicized in the press. The death penalty should be seriously considered by every state in America. The fear of the death penalty would act
In Why Nations Go to War, Dr.John G Stoessinger talks about the role of individuals in starting wars. He is of the view that factors like economics, nationalism, alliance networks and even fate are often put forward as the primary reasons for the outbreak of a war, but the human element, the personalities, the hopes and fears and the particular worldview of the individual leaders of the country are not given nearly as much importance. The writer points out that wars are after all, started by people and to a large extent, the book deals with the lead up to the moment when people finally decide to go to war. The author holds a Ph.D. from Harvard and has taught at Harvard, M.I.T, Columbia and Princeton. He won the Bancroft Prize for his book, The Might of Nations and he has served as acting director for the political affairs division at the United Nations.
Things maybe could have been prevented if help was provided before Lucy was born. While Lucy’s mother was pregnant things would have been put into place to support the whole family. So many professional people should of picked up this was not going to be easy for Sam or Lucy’s mother. Having an advocate or programs to help Sam from the start may have prevented many of the things
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. Research shows that parents of a child diagnosed with ASD either stop or reduce work compared to parents of a child that is not diagnosed with ASD. This is due to the fact that someone has to take care of the child and most times it is the parents that do so. The parents also have to drive the child to see different doctors in order to help treat the ASD even though there is no known treatment as of yet. This takes even more time out of their lives.
Many disagree with it but I personally believe it should be up to the patient and his/her doctor to decide what is best for their life. I would say it would be considered as ethical egoism. I don’t agree with physician-assisted-suicide being illegal. I understand that someone’s death affects many people but I do believe that at the end it should be the patient’s choice. If I were terminally ill, I would not want to suffer just to suffer.
The author grieved the loss of that version of her future. Knowing that her child could carry the danger in her cells, she chose not to take the risk. Ms. Handler states: “my husband understood I knew that in deciding not to be a mother, I was making a choice that would define the rest of my life.” Miss Handler fear surpassed longing. She fears that her child would be ill and die before his time, or that her child would be well and she would worry her away from her. Jessica Handler allows fear to control her decision.
This may be too soon to use but I believe that the events that has transpired since the Boston Marathon Bombing is a great current ethical dilemma. With events like this individual emotions take over and it can be hard to do the ethical things when your personal feelings of hurt, hate and the unknown are present. The nature of a dilemma in the case of the Boston Marathon Bombing is do we kill the suspects out of anger and because we can, or do we capture, arrest and let the arms of the justice system take over and predict the outcome. It would have been just as easy to shot and kill both suspects in this horrible event. And after learning that a law enforcement officer was gunned down is enough for an officer’s personal emotional feelings to take over and
Not every individual situation is the same. For example in some countries they don't allow abortions however if the birth of the child was to continue and had a high risk of killing the mother it would be more understandable to save the mother, however some wont accept that so the mother of the child being born could die to save the child. This isn't right as the child will grow up with no mother. Joseph Fletcher also agreed with this statement he said the only moral rule is love, he said the rules are too demanding and stubborn what makes one person happy isn't always going to make another feel the
So then, why is it so hard to comprehend the facts and reasoning behind assisted suicide? Maybe it is because of the term used, or could it be that society as a whole, cannot accept the fact that at some point and time the elderly and the terminally ill just want the pain and suffering to end. Either of the two seems justifiable enough of a reason to open the floor for discussion among the prominent parties that need to discus the topic to have the laws changed or at least modified to fit the
