They believe life is a precious and divine gift, and that it must be sustained if possible. “Death must never be hastened by intention. Physicians who kill patients in order to spare them pain are considered murderers (554-555).” Judaism also rejects euthanasia. They do, however, accept two forms of eu thantos: caring for dying patients, and letting terminally ill persons die. Early Christians opposed self-induced death out of suffering and despair.

.... are not responsible enough to handle alcohol. Elizabeth Whelan declares, "Banning drinking by young people makes it a badge of adulthood -- a tantalizing forbidden fruit" (84). This badge of adulthood is quickly attained by college freshman, who lash out at the drinking age, with binge drinking. The abuse of alcohol by young people can likely be prevented, certainly not in all cases but in many. In most European countries moderate drinking is common by teenagers. These teens have been taught about the dangers of alcohol and were brought up by parents who let their children experience alcohol moderately. Whelan observes, "Though .....

.... and decency, and to guarantee that there are some things that are even more important than individual self actualization. We have no national religion, nor do we have many coherent tangible symbols of our traditions of liberty under law, of liberty with responsibility. The flag may be the only such symbol we possess, and if we, as a community, do not have the right to preserve that symbol in a manner that expresses the responsibility and decency that are necessary for civility and popular sovereignty itself, then it is not likely that the goals for which our republic was founded will long endure.” The flag stands for .....

.... to God. The Old Testament records an incident involving King Saul of Israel, who became seriously wounded on the battlefield. Fearing the advancing enemy, Saul took his own sword and tried to fall against it. He cried to a soldier, “Come and put me out of my misery for I am in terrible pain but life lingers on.” The soldier acted in accordance with the wishes of the king and killed him. The soldier then brought some of Saul’s armor to David and said, “I killed him, for I knew he couldn’t live.” David ordered the soldier put to death (Eareckson, 111). Those who believe in the Bible clearly see here that, whether a .....

Agriculture was ill- adapted for this approach. Protection was given, not only by customs duties, but also by a variety of agricultural policies. This essay will discuss the merits and demerits of a the pre-1992 CAP with its emphasis on price reform, in comparison with the post-1992 CAP which was oriented to structural reform. It cannot be denied that there were merits of the pre-1992 price reform policy. There was a bountiful food supply with an increased variety and quantit .....

Surprised, you answer, "Really? I didn't even know." The voice on the other end responds, "Please take off any and all illegal information or data that you may have up on the network or else we will have to take action." Unsure about what he means, you say, "Ok. I'll do it right away." You quickly hang up and turn off your computer. You think to yourself, have they been monitoring everything I've been doing on my computer? This is a true st .....
