.... classified as rational suicide. The term "euthanasia" means "good health" or "well dying"; it is derived from the Greek "eu" and "thanatos". In its classical sense, it is a descriptive term referring to an easy death as opposed to an agonizing or tormented dying. In Greek literature, euthanasia connoted a "happy death, an ideal and coveted end to a full and pleasant life." The concern to die well is as old as humanity itself, for the questions surrounding death belong to the essence of being human. All people die, but apparently only people know they are to die. They live with the truth that life is under the sentence of death. Thus, f .....

.... and they are excreted fairly rapidly. The bad side of taking oral steroids is that they are more toxic than injected steroids. They are highly potent, which makes the risk of overdosing very high. Steroids that are injected are less toxic to the liver and are less potent than oral steroids on an equal dosage basis. Injected steroids have a delayed take up, which makes them last longer. It also allows them to be detected in drug tests for a longer period of time. How they work in the body: When anabolic steroids are introduced into the body, under certain conditions they increase: protein synthesis, lean body mass, and the nitrogen balance .....

.... spread throughout the population. Instead, there is a higher prevalence in large metropolitan areas, inner city areas, populations with lower overall levels of education, and people with a lower socioeconomic status. From a standpoint of age, gonorrhea is most common in people 15-29 years of age. Risk factors include having multiple sexual partners, a partner with a past history of any STD, and unprotected sex (sex without the condom or the newly developed female condom). The early symptoms of gonorrhea are often mild, and many women who are infected have no symptoms of the disease. Symptoms of gonorrhea usually appear within two to ten d .....

.... concerns specifically associated with this age group have developed. Psychologists single out four areas that especially touch upon adolescent behavior and development: physiological change and growth; cognitive, or mental development; identity, or personality formation; and parent-adolescent relations. Physiological Change: Between the ages of 9 and 15, almost all young people undergo a rapid series of physiological changes, known as the adolescent growth spurt. These hormonal changes include an acceleration in the body's growth rate; the development of pubic hair; the appearance of axillary, or armpit, hair about two years later. There .....

.... 1992) Facts on Down Syndrome *Down syndrome is not a lethal anomaly. One to two percent of persons born with this disorder have uncorrectable heart defects at birth. The average life expectancy for all others is now beyond age 55 years. *Today less than 5% of persons with Down syndrome have severe-to- profound mental retardation. The majority are on the border of mild-to-moderate mental retardation, and some are exhibiting normal IQ scores today. *The average reading level for persons with Down syndrome is 3rd grade, with many reading at 6th-12th grade levels today. *The vast majority of adults with Down syndrome today can be expected to live s .....

.... anorexia, but also to inform myself about the knowledge or lack thereof that young people have about the disease. Most people believe that anorexia is mainly a young females' disease. This is not necessarily true. In fact, studies within the past few years show that male anorexia is about as widespread as in females. In actuality, 80 percent of the people diagnosed with anorexia over the age of 45 are males(Heywood, 1996). Other misconceptions are that anorexia is only common with younger people and that anorexia is not a real disease at all, just a staple of obsessive teenage girls. Another widespread misconception about the disease of anorexia .....

.... the right one when you can take my word on it? These are really strong cigarettes. How do I know, because take one out and look at it, you will notice that there is no filter on the end of it. Due to no filter you will get none of the toxins filtered Without filtering out some of the toxins you will destroy yourself quicker; that is the goal we are seeking, is it not? Lets take out one of our friends (we will call them that to be funny) and look at it. It is about five to six inches in length, maybe a half inch wide with little brown things that look somewhat like coffee grounds inside a thin white paper cylinder. Smell it, a significant numbe .....

.... It is simply un-American to solve problems by killing it. On one hand, America is a peace loving country that intervenes in places like Ireland and the Middle East to end war and promote peace. On the other hand, many Americans whole heartedly support the practice of choosing to kill a baby so that the parent can avoid conflicts when the baby is born. This seems like a very contradictory and unnecessary practice. One major problem with the is the fact that people actually support it. With almost every other major injustice in America, including domestic violence, discrimination, sexual harassment, and others, the vast majority are strongly oppo .....

.... believed that this study was not long enough to prove that students will not be pressured into becoming sexually active as a result of increased condom availability. Therefore, representatives of the study are asking, along with the Board of Education, to continue to supply funds to the programs. During the 1980s, Urban Institute researchers at the University of Illinois found that, [efforts have increased to alert the public to the dangers of HIV, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unintended pregnancy, yet these problems have increased.]2 Adolescents and young adults have been especially hit hard. In addition, [among all sexually acti .....

.... bacterial disease of humans has been as successfully studied as diphtheria. The etiology, mode of transmission, pathogenic mechanism and molecular basis of exotoxin structure, function, and action have been clearly established. Consequently, highly effective methods of treatment and prevention of diphtheria have been developed. The study of Corynebacterium diphtheriae traces closely the development of medical microbiology, immunology and molecular biology. Many contributions to these fields, as well as to our understanding of host-bacterial interactions, have been made studying diphtheria and the diphtheria toxin. Hippocrates provided the firs .....
