Euthanasia: Should doctors intervene at the end of life?
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) The most recent world issue (4/10/01) concerning this most sensitive subject is from April 10 of this year (2001), when The Hague in the Netherlands voted to legalize euthanasia. The seventy-five seat chamber of government, with one absence, voted 46 in favor and 28 opposed to the legislation, making it the first nation in the world to legalize euthanasia. But whether it is legal in one country or the world, the basic question still remains, "should" doctors intervene at the end of life?

Foreign Criminal Rights in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the argument of the rights of foreign criminals within the United States. International law provides for all prisoners to be treated with the same human rights worldwide and these rights must be maintained by all countries. In this sense, foreign criminals are to be allowed the same rights as American citizens who are criminals. Deportation of foreign criminals often leads to either the criminal not fulfilling the sentence for the crime or being deported into a country where human rights are violated and the criminal would face a more harsh sentence than consistent with the crime within the United States. If deportation is not a viable option for the fulfillment of the sentence then increased restrictions and security to prevent criminals and illegal immigrants from entering the country is now considered to be a priority. In either case, criminals who are foreigners and criminals who are citizens should be afforded the same rights under international law. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
