Persistent Vegetative State PVS): Should These Patients Be Used As Organ Donors?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In a perfect world, artificial organs and tissues will finally reach the point of perfect utilization so that people will be spared the discomfort of making the donor decision for themselves or other loved ones. Indeed, the concept of organ donation and transplantation is one of complete selflessness, allowing an individual to survive through the life experiences of so many others. One has to wonder why all people would not possess such a benevolent attitude toward human existence. However, there is a certain population that lingers in limbo between life and death, creating a difficult situation for
family members when it comes to organ donation: persistent vegetative state (PVS). The definition of death does not include PVS, which represents the crux of this controversy: should PVS patients be used as organ donors? Can the definition be changed to include PVS and, therefore, provide
an even more comprehensive network of donors? Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Philosophical Perspective Of Cloning In The United States
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. The question about cloning is not whether it can be done but rather should it be done. Clearly, scientific technology has already rendered a number of examples how cloning is indeed possible in today's global society, however, no one has heretofore established that philosophical line whereby humanity ceases to cross. There are far too many unknowns in the world of cloning - be it plant, animal and especially human - to continue at the current break neck speed without having solid and appropriate safeguards in place.

Physician Assisted Suicide: Pros & Cons
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. There are enough controversial topics in America today to keep a room full of thoughtful, expressive and passionate people in heated debate for days on end, however, none may be as volatile an issue as physician assisted suicide. When this subject is broached, the proverbial gloves come off and a vicious verbal debate ensues that has yet to name a victor. The emotional, ethical, religious and legal standing of human euthanasia is not something to which there is an easy answer - or any answer at all - as long as two sides exact their own philosophies on how this sensitive subject should be handled. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
