Beth Wilmot also fell victim to Randall Woodfield’s sadistic ways in January. Her body was discovered in Salem, Oregon after being sexaully assaulted and shot in the back of her head with a .32-caliber gun. At this time the police in the states the crimes were being committed were realizing there was a serial killer on the loose and they need to catch him promptly. However, Woodfield would prove it was going to be difficult to catch him after going under the radar for an additional five months (nydailynews.com, 2014).

In January 1982, a white South Carolina widow named Dorothy Edwards was found dead in the closet of her bedroom in Greenwood. The crime shocked the town, not merely because it happened but because it was exceptionally bloody. As a forensic pathologist testified in the murder trial that followed soon after, she had “thirty-three

We do not have the authority to deem that someone deserves to die or suffer.

Who gets to make the choice whether someone lives or dies? If a person has the right to live, they certainly should be able to make the choice to end their own life. The law protects each and everyone’s right to live, but when a person tries to kill themselves more than likely they will end up in a Psychiatric unit. Today we hear more and more about the debate of Physician assisted suicide and where this topic stands morally and ethically. Webster 's dictionary defines Physician assisted suicide as, suicide by a patient facilitated by means (as a drug prescription) or by information (as an indication of a lethal dosage) provided by a physician who is aware of the patient 's intent (Webster, 1977).

It has been almost 21 years since the murder of a little six-year-old girl by the name of JonBenet Ramsey of Boulder Colorado. Her parents were John and Patsy Ramsey. The question remains til this day “Who killed JonBenet?”

This book is just one account of what took place on that fatal September 21, 1986 night. It was a warm and beautiful Sunday night on the Sunset High way in Oregon when Cheryl Keeton was brutally bludgeoned body was found in her van, in the fast lane by a motorist, Randall Kelly Blighton who just stopped to see if he could offer any type of help.

The Hillside Strangler was the name given to two killers who strangled and killed their victims, dumping their bodies in the hills of Los Angeles. These killings took place during October 1977 and February 1978, involving ten young women ranging from ages 12 to 28. With over one hundred law enforcement task force members working to solve this case, the fear within the community was undeniably present. It wasn't long before the clues would come in one by one, helping detectives solve this heinous crime. Once two sets of DNA was revealed on the crime scenes, police realized they had not just one, but two killers. The killers were later discovered to be cousins Kenneth Alessio Bianchi and Angelo Anthony Buono.

The next murder occurred on July 4, 1969 of Darlene Ferrin, twenty-two, and her boyfriend Michael Mageau, nineteen. The two drove to a parking lot nearby the Blue Rock Springs Park, where they sat and talked. Shortly before midnight a random car pulled up next to their car. The car stayed there for a moment but sped away. About five minutes later the car returned.

In end-of-life scenarios, where the patient may not be able to communicate their wishes, decisions must be made either by the healthcare professional(s) or family member(s). However, who gets to decide or where the line should be drawn are not always clear. Consequently, not all decisions may be ethically permissible. To illustrate, I will discuss a scenario in which physicians and family are not in agreement. Upon proving a brief summary and explaining the ethical dilemma, I will provide moral reasons for two ethically permissible choices from which, by referencing the principle of autonomy and Utilitarianism, will determine which course of action ought to be carried out.

Death. It is the inevitable outcome of this journey we call life. It is human nature to embrace self-preservation and prolong life as long as possible. In the end, death comes for us all. It can come in the form of an unexpected and tragic accident. A person is taken from this world as quickly as they entered it, leaving their loved ones in shock and grieving the life that was ripped away so suddenly. But what of those who are faced with their impending death before it even happens; those who suffer from terminal illnesses or have sustained injuries that cannot be treated? In these cases, the question arises; should these individuals be allowed the option to end or receive assistance in ending their life on their own terms? Should

As human beings who prize and value their autonomy, one feels entitled to choose at the end of one's life though no such power is present or possible at the beginning. Moreover, one cannot possess a 'right to die', at least not in the same way one is said to have the right to life. In fact, the very notion of the right to die is an absurd claim, because we all will die: this is an inevitable, undisputed fact of human life. What one really means to say is that one should have the right to die 'on one's own terms.' Yet, let us look at the right to life. If someone has an absolute right to life, then within that right is embedded the obligation or duty of others to respect and preserve this right. The 'right to die', if it is also said to be a right in this sense, it must also imply an obligation to the person who has claim to this right. So, others, doctors or family members, would have the obligation to kill someone who makes a stable, competent request for death. This, of course, would have serious implications for health care providers - particularly with regard to what end of life care really

A person with terminal illness should have the right and ability to death with dignity before they may reach the greatest suffering of their illness.

People who are experiencing a traumatic exit in life should be able to choose the right time for them to die, as dignity in death is as important as dignity in life. (“Debating the right to die and assisted suicide: Key issues for the 2015 parliament,” 2015)
