.... can also be referred to as IBD, which stands for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It can also be referred to as Ulcerative Colitis, or simply colitis, enteritis, ileitis or proctitis. This disease is not very threatening, but can cause someone to have surgery, which sometimes can be life threatening. This disease affects the bowel causing it to narrow. Sometimes, obstruction can be acutely caused by the ingestion of poorly digestible fruit or vegetables that can act as a cork and plug the already narrowed segment of the intestine. In doing this research project I have learned much more about Crohn's disease and I hope that yo .....

.... to cause severe psychological and emotional damage. Adults who were sexually abused in childhood are at a higher risk for developing a variety of psychiatric disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and mood disorders. To understand the essential issues about traumatic memory, the human mind’s response to a traumatic event must first be understood. The memory is made up of many different sections with each having different consequences on one another. Can people remember what they were wearing three days ago? Most likely no, because the memory only holds on to what is actively remembered. What a person .....

.... we will reach an advanced stage of sleep where our body begins to experience rapid eye movement (REM). It is during this REM period that we experience most of our dreams. Many scientists try to speculate the reasons for dreaming through biological our psychological means. This proves to be very frustrating for someone trying to find empirical meaning and truth about his or her dreams. There are countless books written about dreams with just as many different interpretations and meanings for specific dream references. For psychics, astrologists, or psychologists who attempt to interpret dreams, there are numerous factors that m .....

.... The most rare way the AIDS virus is spread is by a mother passing it to fetus inside her.(Madaras,188) AIDS is a very rapidly-spreading disease although it is only spread four ways. Ten years ago only two cases of AIDS were known. Nine years ago only seven cases were known. In 1983 over 3,000 cases were recorded, and by 1989, there were more than 100,000 cases. (Samuel,26) Many people think you can get AIDS by what scientists call "casual contact." Casual contact is by such means as swimming pools, kissing, toilet seats, etc. "...it's important to remember that the AIDS virus doesn't live in the air o .....

.... than 15 jumped 18 percent. The rate among minority teens climbed from 186 per 1,000 to 189 per 1,000. The most popular procedure involved in abortions is the vacuum aspiration which is done during the first trimester (three months or less since the women has become pregnant). A tube is simply inserted through the cervix and the contents of the uterus are vacuumed out. The most commonly used type of second trimester abortion is called dilation and evacuation. Since the fetus has bones, bulk and can move, second trimester is not as simple. When as much of the fetus and placenta are vacuumed out then tweezers are used to remo .....

.... But in the 1960s, surgeon's began using microscopes to sew what previously had been almost invisible blood vessels and nerves in limbs. Their sewing technique had been developed on large blood vessels over a half century earlier but could not be used in microsurgery until the needles and sutures became small enough. The surgical technique, still widely used today, had taken the frustrating unreliability out of sewing slippery, round-ended blood vessels by ingeniously turning them into triangles. To do this, a cut end of a blood vessel was stitched at three equidistant points and pulled slightly apart to give an anchored, trian .....

.... or passive euthanasia. Many are against active euthanasia because in this case you actually kill the person rather than letting them die. But both methods are used for the same end which is to end someone's life without further pain for the patient as well as for the family. The only choice to make after this fact is established is which of these means better carries out the end. James Rachels, a philosophy professor, says that, "if one simply withholds treatment [in the way of passive euthanasia], it may take the patient longer to die, and so he may suffer more than he would if more direct action were taken and a lethal inj .....

.... your problems in one fell swoop and since you are so different from everyone else and can never fit in, no one will really care and you can have the final say-so in life. In this exit, you will make people feel as you do. The site also claims that it is not the individual's fault for feeling suicidal, but the internal pain is too much for them to deal with. When committing , the highest number of people use a firearm (www.psycom.net). According to Emile Durkheim, there are four types of : egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic (www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/death-su.html). Egoistic is that of a person who lacks attention an .....

.... The use of drugs has declined in the percentage of eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders who believed there was a “ great risk” in trying drugs. But in 1994, the use of drugs increased and the Department of Health and Human Services stepped up to try to help our parents protect their children from the resurgence of drugs. The government is doing everything to let parents know about drug abuse, but it is ultimately up to the users. The Gov. cannot change children’s behavior or anybody else’s. In schools there is even a bigger problem. The states have created an educational program against drug abuse for the public school s .....

.... to the individual. Those people who suffer from terminal illnesses are forced to live out life while losing their dignity. Families are forced to watch their loved one deteriorate and in the mean time put their own lives on hold to care for the ill patient that has lost all will to live. Watching a loved one slowly fade in the most horrible task for any human being. If the patient is extremely ill families can see there pain and feel the heart break that our laws enforce. Hundreds of those who are terminally ill at one time or another wish to die and even request it to their family.3 To hear a loved one ask you to end their .....
