When you hear the word Sacrifice what do you think of? You would probably think that it means to give something up in return for something else. But in greek religion the word sacrifice meant killing an animal, the Greeks would kill tame animals and offer specific parts of it to the Gods and eat the rest. Greeks are suggested to have begin sacrificing animals not long after they began keeping tame wildlife.

For the purposes of this essay the assumption will be that there is no after life or god. Eliminating the concept of god in a sense dissolves the issue of sinfulness and blameworthiness. Therefore a relativist stance will be adopted and the absolutist stance rejected. The issue of cowardice also should be addressed as arguably a soldier going to certain death is not a coward and few people would be able to harm him/herself. The taking of life can be considered under three categories, as an exercise in rational philosophical thought, as an action that has boundaries proscribed by the law, and lastly in a theological sense. It also is worthwhile and imperative to allude to the fact that suicide is only one form of extinguishing life, and
What causes a person to take their own life? The fictional novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe attempts to answer this question through telling the story about Okonkwo, a member of the Igbo society in Umuofia, Nigeria. Okonkwo is determined to not end up like his apathetic father who never received any titles in their society.

These men have different opinions and customs from the the Igbo people, and the conflict between the two headstrong groups leads Okonkwo to kill himself. Okonkwo’s feelings of pride, defeat, and loneliness essentially cause his cowardly death, ultimately suggesting humanity is responsible for its own self
The more a question is argued the better that question becomes it is often said. That question begins to grow and the side effect of this is the more people it reaches. Whether that question can be put into a category of right or wrong it begs to be answered. Knowledge is something that people instinctively need to function when faced with a problem, an answer must be found or it begins to form eminent possibility in any direction. The problem is a question that no one can truly answer for anyone other than the person faced with it, which is one's own self. The arguments from either side of this philosophical problem must not be centered around one's own belief but all that share the dilemma, which is in fact every human being.

There are many legal issues regarding physician-assisted suicide but first, let us clarify some terms. According to the Death with Dignity website, this is not euthanasia, suicide or physician-assisted suicide. Since the patients are going to die anyway, they are not choosing death over life. They are choosing how they die. Better terms are Death with dignity; Physician-assisted death, or physician aid in dying (Death with Dignity). “The American College of Legal Medicine has resolved that “the process initiated by a mentally competent, though terminally ill, person who wishes to end his or her suffering and hasten death according to law specifically enacted to regulate and control such a process shall not be described using the word “suicide”,
Many people think of dentistry and other healthcare careers as stressful professions and the media has repeatedly represented dentists as health care workers that are at a high risk of committing suicides.
