Slope

The slippery slope argument has been ongoing in the euthanasia debate. The “slippery slope” refers to the belief that legalizing voluntary euthanasia and physician assisted suicide will lead to undesirable outcomes. Many speculate that the legalization of involuntary euthanasia will lead to the legalization of murder. Since euthanasia is legalized in the Netherlands, some argue that it has caused a slippery slope. Now, people believe legalizing euthanasia in the United States will also cause a slippery

Belgium became the first country to allow euthanasia of children, with no age restrictions. How is this not morally and ethically wrong? How is this not murder? Why should doctors be allowed to play God? We see in this short paragraph the slippery slope of euthanasia, from second degree murder to legalized suicide to legalized euthanasia of children. Where will it stop? Euthanasia is defined as deliberately putting to death someone who is suffering from an incurable disease. The word ‘euthanasia’

There are various ways to measure socioeconomic and health inequalities but in the article, the two methods that present an accurate picture of the inequalities are the slope index of inequality and the concentration index. They provide a measurement based on their socioeconomic status and not on their health (Garcia & McCarthy 2012, p. 44). The article mentions an international comparison of socioeconomic differences in

Linear functions are represented in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b and are plotted on a coordinate plane as a straight line. m represents the slope, or the measure of the steepness, of a line; b represents the y-intercept, the place where the line crosses the y-axis and the value of x equals 0. Slope is calculated by dividing the change in y by the change in x between two points, or (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1 ). Slope is commonly referred to as the average rate of change or rise/run , the change in y values

Introduction: Average Posterior Tibial Slope (PTS) in Indian patients is found to be higher than the Caucasian population . The mechanical axis in the arthritis patients is shifted further posteriorly as shown by increased Posterior tibial slope in arthritic patients. Post-operative PTS after total knee arthroplasty has been implicated to affect the incidence of complications like aseptic loosening , knee joint subluxation, tibial dehiscence , coronal plane joint instability etc. Most surgeons In

LANDSLIDES Introduction The term ‘landslide’ includes all varieties of mass movements of hill slopes and can be defined as the downward and outward movement of slope forming materials composed of rocks, soils, artificial fills or combination of all these materials along surfaces of separation by falling, sliding and flowing, either slowly or quickly from one place to another. Although the landslides are primarily associated with mountainous terrains, these can also occur in areas where an activity

Another aspect of the liberal argument is that increasing choices increases freedom (Moazam 211). Under such thought, a woman with the ability to elect to have a SSA is better off than one who is limited to being forced to have a female child. Options are seen as freeing, even if the circumstances they exist under are undesirable or even questionable. Thus, allowing SSA is thought of as a way to further the liberation of Asian women. Liberal feminists also argue that state interference in the form

With the compatibility standard, Congress and the Court can still choose to apply the “least restrictive” method aspect of the Sherbert test but it becomes almost redundant at this point. Where the Sherbert test assumes that religion and law are at odds such that ensuring government interest must somehow infringe on free exercise, the compatibility test already assumes that law and religion live together in harmony without overly restricting one or the other. Because of such an assumption, the least

achieve this, process based methods were used to map landslide areas using the following factors: slope, rainfall, land cover change,Normalized DifferenceVegetation Index (NDVI)change, Curvature, watershed, and soil characteristic including: type, texture, soil bulk density, Base Saturation, and Total Water Available Distribution Map. The minimum conditions were set for each factor for landslide occurrence. Slope stability mapping was done to determine the stable areas and thus derive the probability of

The Slopes of War written by N.A. Perez follows a realistic fictitious story about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, which is also told by the characters told in different perspectives, the Union and the Confederates. The story utilizes many historical facts regarding the battle, even including dialogues from Union and Confederate generals. It also tells us the audience the emotional and physical effects of war, and how the characters are affected by the end of the battle. Although the
