Recently, the Canadian legislator changed the rule and advocated for euthanasia among the terminally ill patients. The law is unethical as most people do not identify with the effects of the law ...

The year of 2016 became critical in means of assisted dying issue for Canadian society, legislators and, of course, health-care professionals. The law, known as Bill C-14 (Chochinov & Frazee, 2016), grants permission for assisted suicide to patients who wish for death. However, certain strict terms condition this permission.

Mexican-Americans comprise a significant fraction in the population of ethnic groups in the United States of America. This group is characterized with a unique and rich culture that essentially affects the Mexican-American’s health beliefs and status. In the Mexican-American culture, physical or mental illness may be attributed to an imbalance between the person and the environment he is in.
