Essays on Active And Passive

Introduction

Human society has been based on mere moral factors that are the basis of governing the behavioral aspect of any particular society. However, it is quite intriguing to look into the doctrine of doing and allowing and this basically narrows down to the moral threshold that has been set forth in any particular society. Therefore, this brings to light the concept of whether, there is a fatual difference between actually being the perpetrator and carrying out the particular act or being a mere observer and letting the particular harm escalate among the people. Moreover, based on the doctrine of ...

In this essay I will dwell upon the issue of euthanasia. I will consider different views on this issue and discuss the contradictions that arise in relation to the use of euthanasia in different situations. I believe that passive euthanasia is possible and even desirable to alleviate the suffering of a terminally ill patient, when there is no hope to return the essential functions of his body, provided appropriate control over the lawfulness of the procedure implementation. Euthanasia is a conscious action, resulting in the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless ...

There is a sharp distinction between active and passive euthanasia. The former is the voluntary act of ending life or “mercy killing” while the latter is the cessation of the activities used to prolong a patient’s life. There have been strong debates concerning the moral permissibility of the active euthanasia. In this essay, I will present the arguments put forth by Rachels and Callahan concerning the issue and argue that the active voluntary euthanasia is not morally permissible. In his justification of the active voluntary euthanasia, James Rachels stands that judging from moral grounds active and passive euthanasia ...

Ordinary and extraordinary treatment has different meaning to different people. For those working in the medical profession, ordinary means standard treatment while extraordinary means non-standard treatment. When used by an ethicist, ordinary treatment will refer to those means of prolonging life which are morally acceptable by both the physician and patient preserving life and health. Extraordinarily relates to those means of treatment which are not morally acceptable. Standard treatment for a particular group of patients is more likely to be morally required than a non-standard treatment. In some cases, standard treatment may be not morally required for individual patients ...

Education is considered a field of vigorous and persistent work that welcomes those willing to strive for it. The fruit of education is sweet but hard to seize; thus, knowledge is only attained when a student is ready for thorough and continuous work. As some students appear to be not quite ready to face the challenges of education, suffering frustration or moral distress, they are very likely to neglect responsibilities of their status. In this light, it seems to be logical to divide students into active and passive ones. The demarcation line between them goes along the idea of ...

Introduction

The definition of physician assisted suicide is slightly different from the general term definition of euthanasia. Although some may equate physician assisted suicide with the blanket term, the distinction between euthanasia and physician assisted suicide is that the latter is done with both the patient’s and doctor’s intent to end the patient’s life by unnatural means (Tamayo-Vela´zquez, Simo´n-Lorda, and Cruz-Piqueras, 678). The doctor assists the patient in committing suicide, usually by administering an injection or pill that contains a lethal substance. A doctor may also administer a relaxant to help keep the patient calm during the ...

Introduction

This research paper considers and evaluates the arguments propounded by Rachels (2002) regarding both active and passive forms of euthanasia. In order to be clear on the precise meanings of those terms, it is appropriate to define them before discussing these topics. The research undertaken for this paper will validate Rachels’ views on the issue, which are essentially that there should be no moral or ethical distinction between the two types of euthanasia – basically because in many instances active euthanasia is in fact more humane, because it drastically shortens the duration of the individual’s pain and suffering.

In The Wild Duck, dinner parties are orchestrated outside of the sphere of women’s influence, but the talk of the men drastically alter the lives of the women who are not present. In Hedda Gabler, dinner parties act in a ...

Euthanasia has been debated for a long time now. There are many divergent and convergent opinions on the issues of Euthanasia. One wonders whether is it is possible to justify euthanasia.

From a traditional point of view, passive euthanasia is permissible while active euthanasia is highly prohibited. However, active euthanasia is more humane than passive euthanasia that is mainly just letting an individual die (James Rachels and Stuart Rachels, 2011). The boundary between the ...

Multi-driver speaker systems require ‘Crossovers’ as their subsystems and are primarily used for the separation of input signal on the basis of driver into various different frequency ranges. The power which is received by the drivers is only in their usable frequency range and therefore the distortion which is caused in the drivers can be reduced with the use of crossovers. Crossovers are only helpful in order to minimize the distortion and it is not possible to completely block at the passband edges, similarly amplitude variation and face changes also cannot be completely restricted. Crossovers are primarily of ...
