Should Steroids Be Banned From Society?
Number of words: 1801 - Number of pages: 7.... steroids can have on their minds and bodies. Although steroids cause minimal deaths in our society, banning of steroids is purely justified because steroids have extremely perilous side effects on the unsuspecting user.
Though steroids are known as a somewhat dangerous substance, they are legal to possess and consume, and there has not been a true clinical study that proves such possible side effects are linked to medical problems of steroid users. Sure, there has been several cases where someone has died and an autopsy showed the person was using steroids, but t .....

Euthanasia: Precious Life
Number of words: 1145 - Number of pages: 5.... to be suffering
from an incurable disease or injury from which recovery cannot reasonably be
expected. Finally the action must be deliberate and intentional. Therefore
euthanasia is intentionally taking the life of a presumably hopeless person.
It is important to be clear about the deliberate and intentional aspect
of the killing. If a hopeless person is given an injection of the wrong drug by
mistake and this causes his/her death, this is wrongful killing but not
euthanasia. The killing cannot be the result of an accident. In addition, if
the pers .....

Ebola Virus
Number of words: 434 - Number of pages: 2.... Virginia, and
the Center for Disease Control (CDC), in Atlanta, Georgia.
Ebola Zaire if great at what it does, to well. It kills so quickly that
the index case, the first person to start an outbreak is usually dead before the
proper authorities can show up and try to back track where it came from, defying
a decent strategy to keep people away from its natural reservoir. However, it
destroys the body so quickly that it doesn't have a chance to spread very far,
at least in humans. This virus is a true paradox.
Ebola Zaire is a nasty little virus with no know .....

Diet And Disease
Number of words: 2489 - Number of pages: 10.... which to eat in moderation and those to be liberally consumed.
It is stated by Newkarm that general health requires that the total intake of all fats, especially animal fats is reduced. Fatty deposits in the arteries and gallstones are to a large extent made up of cholesterol (19). When foods high in fat content are eaten, excessive amounts of cholesterol are made in the body. Individuals who have fat concentrated in the waist and abdomen instead of thighs and buttocks are prone to diseases that accompany obesity (Pruitt 121). Some of these diseases are: (i .....

In implementing this act New Jersey has become the 40’Th State in the county to enforce laws requiring minors to either notify their parents or receive consent from them before having an abortion. The United States Supreme Court first declared these types of laws constitutional in 1979.
Legally, The Parental Notification Act, is constitution and is reasonable, however there are many arguments as to the downside of this new law. If minors are allowe .....

Number of words: 486 - Number of pages: 2.... top layer of skin.
Stage II:
This indicates that the growth is deeper, but has not spread anywhere else on the body.
Stage III:
This is when the melanoma has spread to a nearby lymph basin or other tissue.
Stage IV:
This is the most serious, where the mutated cells have spread throughout distant parts of the body.
Countless reports have been done and released to the public on the dangers of too much exposure to the sun and skin cancer. This has almost been to no avail. I believe that in order to help teens realize the dangers, we need to target .....

Is Ritalin Over Prescribed?
Number of words: 1676 - Number of pages: 7.... research are used interchangeably. The only difference between cocaine and Ritalin is that cocaine leaves the receptor site quicker than Ritalin, possibly making it more addictive (Snyderman 1). Ritalin is not a drug that is typically sold on the street like cocaine or marijuana. It is a drug that doctors prescribe to help children and adults with hyperactivity and attention problems. But are these trained professionals over prescribing it? The road a child has to take to get on Ritalin is very long and often very hard. A child has to be observed by a teacher .....
