... For prisoners it was a chance to live, if they were lucky. Some prisoners were taken by doctors for experiments and depending on the nature of the experiment they might live for a long time or be killed imediatly. Doctors picked which people should be killed through a selection process. A person could be killed for having as little as a tiny scar, or because ofa defect, or anything at all. The doctors of Block 10 are most remembered. The two that stand out most are Josef Mengele and Ernst B. Josef Mengele as one of the cruelest doctors who killed many, many people. He was said to be seen at selections night and day. And in some cases even taking children to the gas chambers ...
... this controversy, there are two sides to it though which have been arguing for many years over the subject. The first is the pro-life group. This group does not believe in the abortion factor. To understand where the pro-life stands we must first understand its beliefs and reasons for its beliefs. Then we can discuss what their solution to the abortion topic is. Pro-life believes that rape and incest are very emotional topics. "They often elicit throughout the population feelings of revulsion; people draw back from the issue of rape and incest. People don't know how to handle a person who is in that much pain. There is no quick fix. That is why it is difficult for even pro-life people ...
... obstetrician fears a birth may go wrong. The midwife expects the birth will go right. "Midwife" is a word that comes from the old English words mit wif, literally "with woman." A midwife is a person who is "with woman," especially during the period of pregnancy, birth, and caring for the newborn. Some people also use the word midwife as a verb, meaning to help give birth, as in "She 'midwifed' the project." The things that midwives do is called "midwifery" (pronounced mid-whiff-err-ee). There are many types of midwives throughout the world. The World Health Organization recognizes the importance of midwives in promoting the health of women and babies throughout the world and strongly en ...

... is a morality issue, but is addressed from a political overview. Despite the overwhelming 80% majority of South Africans who do not support the practice of committing an abortion it has recently become legalized and protected by the law. The action of legalizing abortion in South Africa provides insight into the values and objectives of the South African government. The ANC (African National Council) is surely attempting to demonstrate its political influence on the people of South Africa, forcing them to submit regardless of their personal beliefs. Clearly this shouldn't be. The same scale of benefits that monetarily provides for various surgical procedures also supports the funding of ab ...
... to constantly misplace objects, often repeat themselves, and usually become confused in simple situations. When in relatively simplex places patients may become lost or even forget where they are. Psychologically however, patients begin to become depressed most of the time and be anxious or confused. Some become restless and can barely ever sleep. The cause of the disease, although not completely proven, is strictly genetics. It is passed down from generation to generation and that is one reason why it is so common among older people. Four percent of persons 65 to 74 years old are affected; ten percent of those 75 to 84 years, and twenty percent of those 85 years or older! It is however, r ...
... other than depression or mania (Goodwin, Guze. 1989, p.7 ). affects approximately one percent or three million persons in the United States, afflicting both males and females. Bipolar disorder involves episodes of mania and depression. The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight and often reckless or irresponsible behavior (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). These episodes may alternate with profound depressions characterized by a pervasive sadness, almost inability to move, hopelessness, and disturbances in appetite, sleep, in concentrations and driving. Bipolar disorder is diagnosed if an episode of ma ...
... that they are in a dream. A minority of lucid dreams (about 10 percent) are the result of returning to REM sleep directly from an awakening with unbroken reflective consciousness (LaBerge, 1985). These types of lucid dreams occur most often during daytime napping. If the napper has been REM deprived from a previous night of little sleep their chances of having a REM period at sleep onset are increased. If the napper is able to continue his or her train of thought up to the point of sleep, a lucid dream may develop due to an immediate REM period. The basic definition of lucid dreaming requires nothing more than the dreamer becoming aware that they are dreaming. However, the quality of ...
... bloodstream circulates to the fetus by crossing the placenta. There the alcohol interferes with the ability to the fetus to receive sufficient oxygen and nourishment for a normal cell development in the brain and other body organs (FAS home page). Not all women who drink will have babies with FAS, however 40% of women who drink heavily during pregnancy will have a child with (Creative Consultants). Of the other 56% some will have babies with fetal alcohol effects and some will be fetal alcohol exposed. These children will have minor learning disabilities and behavioral problems. A small few will apparently normal. There are combinations of factors that determine whether the expose ...
... AIDS is now available, but it delays the process rather than eliminating the virus entirely. The three most common forms of treatment now are azidothymidine (AZT), protease inhibitors, and multidrug therapies. These drugs have been successful in prolonging patients' lives because they interfere with the duplication of HIV within the body. The reason that they don't destroy the virus is because of the virus's unique ability to mutate into different strains and become resistant to these drugs. However, with the success of the current treatments of AZT, protease inhibitors, and multidrug therapy, as well as the prospect of future treatments such as genetic therapy and vaccines, it appear ...
