Linda Puryear Contribute To Suicide

1. On the 21st of October 1995, Anna Wood took an ecstasy tablet at a dance party and died three days later. At such a young and thriving age, Anna Wood was just 15 years old with a loving family, many friends and a new job. On the night of the event that had taken place a series of risk behaviours were undertaken. Firstly by wanting to take an ecstasy tablet to get high as well as not having any knowledge on the actual drug. By having a broader knowledge on the drug she may have been still alive as she would’ve only had taken half due to knowing a whole tablet would be too much.

Ethical dilemmas exist everywhere around us in everyday situations. Something as simple as picking up a piece of trash off the floor to whether you should use a previously written paper from a separate class for a current assignment in this class. It exists in reality and even on television shows. How, then, do people resolve these ethical dilemmas and how do they defend their decisions? Nurse Jackie is a television series impregnated with ethical dilemmas, especially in medical care. In this paper, I will discuss the ethical issues found in the “Tiny Bubbles” episode of Nurse Jackie. I will further discuss the ethical reasoning with support of ethical principles. In addition, I will discuss how patient’s autonomy and non-maleficence principle of bioethics plays a role in decision making. Overall, there was a difficult struggle on the ethical theory of and utilitarianism, with ethical relativism playing a huge factor.

In this report I will talk about Eva’s Smith Death. Eva Smith belongs to the working class, she was a beautiful and adorable woman with soft brown hair and big dark eyes that were expecting a baby with Eric Birling, who was recognized by his father Arthur Birling a wealthy mill owner and politician. Eva had been mistreated by each member of the Birling family and Gerald Croft, pushing Eva a little bit closer to committing suicide by swallowing a huge amount of disinfectant and finally leading to her death in the Infirmary in 1912 as the supposed “Inspector Goole” claims.

Throughout history, there have been many wars that were fought. When thinking of combats, many citizens associate battles with the thought of physical wars, but many don't think of the mental battles that might occur within a person. Teen suicide, which is known as the second leading cause of death globally, is frequently overlooked and underestimated as a problem when confronted about it. The poem, Romeo and Juliet by the famous author William Shakespeare, uses literature to profoundly go into the concept of how suicide can affect everyone. The community of Orland Park has taken their part to inform the society, by setting up basic services for people to learn or get help about suicide prevention. While resources are available in our

On 3/22/18, Linda Blaylock came to the administrators office and alleges someone (later identified as former employees, Greta O’quine, CNA and Stephone Else, Medication aide) told her that Robin Lyles, LVN, ADON instructed the nurse Phillip to “take them to china” when a resident has unwanted behaviors, which creates an adverse reaction and possibly death. Ms. Blaylock explains the phrase means to use antipsychotic drugs and Benadryl to sedate the residents. Ms. Blaylock alleges this was told to Gwen but did not do anything about it. However,

In the article of “Assisted Suicide” by Mary Ersek, RN, PhD, she gives the reader a broad view of the terms that are used for assisted suicide and how the reader will view the topic based off of their own beliefs and responsibilities. To clarify on the topic she gives the reader terms which are, assisted suicide, active euthanasia, and withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining therapy. Assisted suicide, according to Mary, involves providing the patient with the means (usually a prescription for a lethal dose of barbiturates), knowing that the patient intends to commit suicide. Active euthanasia occurs when a person, usually a physician or nurse, performs an act (such as administering a lethal injection) to end a patient’s life. Lastly, withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining therapy (WWLST) describes discontinuing or forgoing therapies that may keep someone alive, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), mechanical ventilation, artificially provided nutrition and hydration, and antibiotics. Moreover, the documentary film by Frontline on suicide, focus on the fact of assisted suicide and how it should be interpreted by both the law and the people. As a result, it focuses on one of the leading right to die organizations in America, Compassion and Choices. Compassion and Choices is also associated with The Final Exit Network, and they always have a final exit guide there at the time of the death or suicide however its perceived. Only after when they were being

After Lauri forced Aileen and Keith out of the house they were sent to foster homes; however, Aileen ran away and lived in the woods that was near her house. While she was living in the woods, she started working as a prostitute so she can make money to buy food. Soon later, Keith died at the age of twenty-one from cancer and her grandfather, Lauri, committed suicide. Eventually Michigan became too cold during the winters and she traveled to Florida at age sixteen. Meanwhile, she lived her life hitchhiking and working as a prostitute. Her behavior became aggressive and escalated to armed robbery and theft. All of a sudden, Aileen met Lewis Fell who was a wealthy yacht club president when she was twenty years old. Lewis who was sixty-nine, fell

"To annihilate the world by annihilation of one's self is the deluded height of desperate egoism. The simple way out of all the little brick dead ends we scratch our nails against.... I want to kill myself, to escape from responsibility, to crawl back abjectly into the womb." (Plath 60)

In Leelah Alcorn’s suicide letter she wrote, “I want my death to mean something.” Leelah Alcorn was a teenager who was forced to undergo conversion therapy after she came out as transgender because her family did not accept her. Leelah wanted to stop the practice of conversion therapy because of its harmful effects. After Leelah’s passing some states proposed bills to ban this practice called “Leelah’s Law.” Her story made me realize the impact one person can have and anything that involves giving back to the community or others can constitute as community service.

Case study number 2 talks about Nancy Smith’s decision to resign after having been demoted by her management team. Nancy Smith was the Director of Medical Research Therapeutics at a pharmaceutical company. During this time Nancy, had been working on developing a new drug and while doing so she and the others in her team discovered that the formula had too high of a continent of saccharin, 14 times higher than stated by the Food and Drug Administration permitted. With this knowledge, everyone in the team had unanimously decided that the project should not be distributed to people in the United State. They had agreed to continue to research to find a better alternative to having so much saccharin content.

According to many, chronically ill people feel more dignified and become less of a burden if they choose to go under physician assisted suicide. This is one of the most commonly considered factors sick people will think about, resulting in them following through with euthanasia. Angie Bloomquist, a woman with Lou Gehrig's Disease which resulted in the collapse of all her muscles, knows her presence is putting a strain on the people she loves most (Freeman). She is fighting for her right to die peacefully through euthanasia. A study conducted in Oregon, the only state where euthanasia is legal, 66% of hopelessly ill people choose this method of “care” because of the fact they are a burden (Freeman). Like many others, Bloomquist’s pain is leaving

For Cepeda, it was a surprise for her to learn that the core of depression and self-harm was in New York and by Latinas. She conveyed that because New York is global and internationals, she felt like everyone had space. She believed society was high with-it integration like Durkheim conveyed that high integration leads to a high value given to human existence that therefore made the suicide rates go down. This was the society that she believes she was leaving in. As I read through the article, I assumed that these girls would believe that they live in a society that has low integration, this low value of integration they have of life leads them to suicide or suicidal thoughts. Many of the Latina teens felt like an outsider or a loner in their

During act 1 the gravediggers argue on whether Ophelia deserves a proper Christian burial in a churchyard due to her taking her own life, which is seen as a sin: undeserving of a christian burial in the religious doctrine. Yet she is buried in the place of another man in just that fashion. This is a moral criticism on how the death of person due to suicide shall be handled, which is clearly thought of different in the contemporary world when compared to that time period.
