Dr. K was a man who decided it would be a good thing to help people who were chronically ill. His solution was assisted suicide. Dr. K help over 100 people take their own lives. His ego finally caught up with him and he was sent to jail for his "crimes." I support Dr. K and his idea to help people take their own lives. I think it is a more humane way to go than other types of suicide and it puts people put of their suffering. Only one state allows for assisted suicide, Oregon. A person must get the opinion of two doctors and then they can get the drugs to kill themselves. Again I support assisted suicide and disagree that it is unconstitutional to take your own life.

I chose the topic of business ethics/morals because it is something that I will most likely have to deal with in the future if I plan to major somewhere along this field of work. The problem with businesses is that there are rules and regulations that they must follow. However, this doesn’t always happen in some businesses. Some will work around it slightly just to increase profits for the business. They take risks which may lead to success or failure. The choices made within a company start with the owner and they carry out what they want to be done and the next lowest person commands the next lower person and so on. The problem I see here is what if the command you are given is against your morals? What do you do considering if you refuse the command you will most likely lose your job and people need jobs to survive in the world, or go against your morals and do it? What is right and what is wrong?

Controversial
Capital Punishment is a very controversial topic in the United States today. The idea of putting anyone to death probably should draw the at times angry debate it holds. Some believe killing anyone is morally and legally wrong, but other believe those who commit a crime that warrants death deserve it. I find myself slightly to the right side of the political spectrum on this issue (a side I rarely am on) because I do believe there are some heinous crimes and acts someone can commit that then forfeits their right to life. Some people cannot be rehabilitated (the purpose of prison time) and therefore cannot become valuable to society. It is an opinion that I have and still struggle with.

Many believe abortion is murder. Others believe that a woman has the right to choose what to do with her body. The debate about abortion mainly starts with the idea of life from conception or from birth itself. I personally feel that I myself am pro-choice. I feel that a woman has the right to decide, and if she feels that she is unfit or the child would be born in an unsafe environment, then she should have the right to end the pregnancy.
TOPIC: The Right to Bear Arms
ReplyDeleteI am going to discuss why it is important to me and why I think it is an important part of our rights. I will also discuss why many people are against it.
