Post 9: Essay:Should physician-assisted suicide be legal?

Should physician-assisted suicide be legal? Christopher de Bellaigue Death on demand: has euthanasia gone too far? Date of publication: Fri 18 Jan 2019 06.00 GMT Retrieved from:  https://clck.ru/F4VuB     I chose this topic because it seems to me especially relevant now because all the youth of the world are fighting for the realization of human rights. The topic of the discussion is closely connected with it.                   The question about whether physician-assisted suicide should be legalized remains the issue of the day. People are in two minds whether a dying patient has the right to die with the assistance of a physician or not. In my opinion, physician-assisted suicide should be legal and there are three points to support my point of view.           First of all, I strongly believe that mentally competent people who have serious illnesses and have no chance of long-term surviv...

Post 6:Interesting topics to write about

Interesting topics to write about Schools should teach more about nutrition and healthy diets. Mental disorders are often wrongly diagnosed and treated. Genetic engineering of humans is a good thing. Prisons should not be a place of punishment, but a place to rehabilitate people so that they can be productive members of society. Should tattoos be allowed in the workplace? Yes. Points to prove: 1. Does not affect the quality of work performed 2. Reveals the identity of a person and the best contact with colleagues as a result 3. The opinion that the tattoo is made mostly by criminals is outdated - show progressiveness by allowing them(i.e. breaking the stereotype)

Higher temperatures driving 'alarming' levels of hunger – report Global hunger index finds countries affected by drought and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa have seen biggest increases in undernourished people        The annual report is published as a series of the committee on world food security meetings. The findings show levels of hunger are “serious” or “alarming” in 47 countries and “extremely alarming” in one: the Central African Republic.  Dominic MacSorley, CEO of Concern Worldwide, co-sponsors of the report with Welthungerhilfe, said that progress towards zero hunger by 2030 is now “under threat or is being reversed”. “Approximately 45 countries are set to fail to achieve low levels of hunger by 2030,” he said.         Extreme weather events are putting food production and security in danger and the risk is expected to increase. Food production is likely to fall due to higher temperatures, water scarcity, greater CO2 a...

  Hello, my name is Ekaterina Maidanyuk!        In my opinion, this picture is quite suitable for a description of myself as a person. So, I can't call myself an optimist, however, I strongly believe that even if some troubles make you feel depressive, there's always a possibility that everything will change for the better. Moreover, a person himself should determine his/her own destiny the way he/she wants. I am always inspired by people who do everything to live for their own pleasure, to live happily, despite all the obstacles they may meet. I think it can be considered one of the most important goals in my life. Do not be afraid to be the master of your life and make the most of it - I think it's awesome!
