.... the unpleasant side effect of being a powerful sedative. A member of Milwaukee's AIDS community, said that a friend of his was taking Marinol to increase his appetite: “He spends the whole day laughing and watching movies...He can't even drive a car because he's so out of it.” (3/25/97) In addition to that, Marinol only comes in pill form, which makes it useless for patients taking it for nausea. Marijuana has neither of those drawbacks. Because it is usually smoked, even the most nauseous patient can use it as well as easily regulate their intake (“Medical Marijuana” 23). No prescription drug offers the benefits and pote .....

.... under may be filled with questions about what death is, how it happens, and why it happens. These questions are part of a young child's grieving process. The questions of whether a young child should be allowed to attend the funeral and what he should or shouldn't see- has seen much debate. Generally attending funeral is okay. However a child under seven should not see the deceased. Instead of providing closure this will often traumatize a child resulting in nigh mares and unresolved fears. There is no way to put a length limit on the grieving process. If a child was very close to the person that died, the grieving process will u .....

.... conceived in America is killed by abortion, over one and a half million babies a year (Willke vii).

.... put them to death. The patients or their relatives may ask a doctor to withhold treatment and let them die. Many critics of the medical profession contend that too often doctors play God on the operating tables and in recovery rooms. They argue that no doctor should be allowed to decide who lives and who dies. The issue of euthanasia is having a tremendous impact on medicine in the United States today. It was only in the nineteenth century that the word came to be used in the sense of speeding up the process of dying and the destruction of so-called useless lives. Today it is defined as the deliberate ending of life of a person s .....

.... hand smoke. This is kind of scary to me, considering how many firends that I hang out with that smoke. Another problem is that young people start smoking cigarettes way too early. Around 80% of adult smokers said that they started to smoke sometime before their 18 birth day. The reason that this is such a big problem is that nearly 3000 children between the ages of 12 and 17 become regular users each day. This is just a few of the many reasons you should consider, about the dangerousness of smoking. There are many ways in which smoking and realted illnesses can be cut down. In come and education plays a large role in the .....

.... Other students complained about canned vegetables being drenched in butter(Norvell, 1995). Many of the school meals sacrifice taste and appearance.

Without education about the benefits of quality nutrition, many students lack the knowledge of the importance of eating foods that are essential to their health. Lau .....

.... the image so it looks right- side-up to you. You can find a diagram of the above on page 3. The most common visual defects are nearsightedness and farsightedness. In nearsightedness, also known as myopia, the eye is longer than usual. This is corrected by using a concave lens to spread the light rays just enough to increase the eye's focal length. Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is caused by a shorter than usual eye. A convex lens increases light bending and returns the point of focus to the retina.

.... lively state biological agents tend to find niches, and continue to grow exponentially without termination. Because it hardly reaches a closure, biological weapons are not widely used. Nevertheless, history states it has been used during World Wars (I & II), cold war, and last but not least, also very recently in Tokyo, Japan by terrorists. Using such lethal weaponry kill people in exceptional amounts. Furthermore, it causes environmental degradation, spoiling our natural resources. Therefore, usage of mass destructive biological and chemical weapons, is a great threat to the existence of human species and our precious envir .....

.... was most limited to vitamins, minerals, and the ever popular “weight gainer”, which consisted mostly of sugar and protein. Similarly, people who wanted to loose weight looked to magical pills composed of tropical plants, strange chemicals, or chromium picolinate. Though there may be benefits in taking some of these supplements, none gave the user the results they were really looking for. In 1993, a seemingly “magical powder” was released that claimed to add strength and power, build lean muscle, boost endurance, and reduce bodyfat. Though most people were skeptical at first, numerous studies and millions of customers .....
