AAs have a 77% higher risk than most other ethnic groups, and are almost more than twice as likely to be hospitalized from diabetes and ultimately succumb to the diabetic complications (Chow). Many of these numbers are predominately made up of men and leads to the AAWs to being a highly understudied group. The AAW group is known to have high rates of obesity, chronic health conditions that have been exacerbated by weight (i.e. DM, CVD, and some forms of cancer), along with poor health and dietary behaviors. Many researchers have found that the increase in abdominal obesity has been closely associated with increased cardiovascular risk (Laffin). CVD is still one of the leading causes of death within the AAW group, and despite a downward trend of CVD related death in the United States, the AAW group still sees it as the leading cause of death with the highest mortality rates (Hill). Many associate this disparity among AAW with a serious lack of education in the socio-economic aspect of life in the AA community. Several groups have studied the how educating the AAW community about pre-diabetic, diabetic, and nutritional health impacts the likelihood of disease development though numerous community interventions.

DWDA allows terminally ill residents to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose. The law states that, in order to participate, the patient must meet strict criteria to be able to request to participate in the Act. The patient must make two oral requests to the attending physician, separated by at least 15 days and the patient must also provide a written request to the attending physician that is signed in the presence of two witnesses (at least one of whom is not related to the patient).

In the events of the shootings of Dallas Police Department by Micah Xavier Johnson, the DPD released and operated a robot attached with an explosive that went in and was triggered to exploded near Johnson. This action was done to end the multiple hours of gunfire between the officers and Johnson. This has now formed a debate regarding the ethics of using this form of deadly force. I believe that the DPD was correct and ethical in using this tactic for the reason that using this robot prevented hours of gunfire and possibly saved the lives of officers engaged in the gunfire between them and the shooter. Even though it’s a new irregular way to subdue the suspect with deadly force, it’s purpose to end the hour of violence and prevent any other

In order to understand ICWA, social workers must understand the historical maltreatment of Indian children. Unfortunately, not all CWS social workers understand the historical oppression that the Indian Children have suffered. School/University in social worker often do not teach about ICWA. For example, in Fresno State, the CWS classes which has an ICWA component, is only offered as an elective class. In Tulare County, ICWA classes are taught in the Core Training, however, the content is brief (Tulare County). The lack of historical background of the social oppression, social workers will not understand the client’s perspective. For example, it is important to know that Indian children were forced into assimilate into a “White” culture.

Funding of an individual’s quest for DWD may be costly. Expenses to consider include the various physician consults in addition to the prescription barbiturate itself which may cost as much as $5000 (Death with Dignity, n.d.). The Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act (1997) bans the use of federal funding, such as Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, for any type of assisted suicide or euthanasia. Private insurance companies vary and may decide which doctor’s visits, prescriptions, and procedures they will cover and this varies by state. Life, health, or accident insurance policies are to be unaffected by PAS as indicated in the DWDA (1994).
