Euthanasia is the Solution Should a patient who has lost all powers of reasoning and who lives like a vegetable, totally hopeless and helpless, a terminal case who only wants to die, be forced to live? The number of people who are asking this question increases each day. Although the official position of the medical profession is to maintain life indefinitetely, regardless of the condition of the patient, but with certain cases, euthanasia should be administered. We are living in an age of medical miracles. Medicine, has made so much dramatic progress, that lifesaving techniques were thought to be impossible, a generation age. Ill patients throughtout the world are kept alive by the use of defribbrilators, respirators, pacemakers and other similar equipment. A study was done by the American Encephalograhic Soceity has concluded that when an EEG reading is what is known as "flat line" the person, is officially dead. What this actually means is that although there may not be any brain activity, other vital organs can work by means of certain equipment. Now heart- lung machines can augment the duration of life. Well some say that life is precious, HOW IS LIFE PRECIOUS, WHEN IT CAN NOT BE LIVED TO THE FULLEST ?. I believe that Euthanasia should be legalized because of that option of dying. People say that their should be a option to live, but I think that there should also be a option to die. Many also think that they should stay alive because they don't want death for their own reason. Why not put them out of there misery, if the pain that one goes through is excruciating why not let them die. Many states have laws that state, that explain the condition of when a person is deceased. States believe that they should authorize the death of a individual when it is not really there's to make. I believe that there should be a choice of death or life. I am not saying who should make the decision, but all I am saying is that Euthanasia should be legalized. Think of it this way, if someone dear to you had died, you would instinctively think that the person should live. Well, how do you think that the person that is dear to you feels?. Maybe he is in pain? Although the organs may work, what is the difference between death and a vegetable when the vegetable just has his vital organs working, and both the decesed and the vegetable have no use of the brain.
The tool essentially shows the chain of activities required to develop and deliver the products. The effectiveness of the organization vastly improves when all the key activities such as customer, vendor, suppliers and partner within the value chain working smoothly. The value chain used to reduce operational and production cost using low-cost producer strategy. If two service or products are delivery by two separate divisions for two different markets, there are functionality and process that can be integrated to save cost.
There are many alternatives to this act of murder. It is not man's decision to
choose to live or die. The "right to life", is one that should be a fundamental
It is becoming more difficult to know what to do in life and death situations. Advancements in medicine, challenges in the court, and changing opinions have raised questions about when life begins, what its value is, and when it ends. In the United States each life is very important and is taken very seriously. That is what distinguishes it from most of the other countries where we can see that there are constant wars going on and innocent people dying every day. If we start terminating people because they are not convenient or it’s expensive demeans that value. Human life is much more than just a cluster of biological cells. (Messerli, 2012)
Even though people are not in control of how they are born, they are in control as to how they will pass away. In other words, each individual has the right to control his or her body in whatever way he or she wants. Behind this ideology lies the idea that humans should also have the right to determine in what way and by whose hand he or she will die and gives rise the controversial issue of legalizing euthanasia. Even though some people argue that euthanasia gives too much power to doctors and state that alternatives exist, individuals who are in suffering should be given the choice to end their pain. With proper regulation, euthanasia should be legalized because adults have the right to terminate their lives.
To get started, we first need to understand what Crocs' value chain is and how that process plays a role in the strategic direction of the company. The authors of our text, views the value chain as "the entire series of organizational work activities that add value at each step, from raw materials to finished product. In its entirety, the value chain can encompass supplier's suppliers to the customer's customers"(Robbins & Coulter, 2009, p.430). At Crocs, the entire series of organization work activities may be broken down even further using Porter's value chain model of viewing a manufacturing (or service) primary and secondary activities as a "system made up of subsystems, each with inputs, transformation processes and outputs"(Ifm.eng.cam.ac.uk, 2011). A diagram, compliments of Porter(1985) can be seen below:
People die every twelve seconds, and are born every eight. As human beings, we believe that we should have a say over what happens to us. But when we give ourselves the power over others we can easily start to dictate their lives,and that human flaw starts many debates. Right now, someone is being diagnosed or dying of a terminal illness young people, old people, and even children, however, with today's technology and advancements, patients are given a choice. In some states, hospitals offer assisted suicide, a doctor prescribed type if suicide. But with such drastic and permanent effects the act of assisted suicide is widely and ruthlessly debated. I believe that a person should be allowed to make their own decision
Conventional supply chain management is limited in focus. It is internally concentrated on the flow of raw materials through an organization (Robbins & Coulter, 2009). In contrast, value change management focuses on both the flow of incoming materials as well as the outgoing products. In particular, it seeks “manage the sequence of activities and information along the entire value chain” (Robbins & Coulter, 2009, p. 430). In this way, it can be thought of as more customer focused as it aims to best meet the needs of its customers.

For Dynax to implement an effective value chain analysis, they must identify the value-chain activities and decide how they are going to develop a competitive edge. The primary activities in Dynax’s value chain include the design process, acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing processes, marketing and sales, and customer service. The organization must determine what activities produce the most value and what activities are not contributing any value to external parties. In addition, Dynax must decide if they want to pursue a differentiation advantage or cost advantage. Differentiation advantage will allow the organization to create more superior products, while cost advantage focuses on reducing the costs in any activity of the chain. Moreover, Dynax must study the linkage of value activities and understand that a weakness in one activity will most likely affect the next activity in the chain. Dynax can minimize these occurrences by dedicating more attention and detail to higher valued activities. Lastly, Dynax can analyze and interpret other companies and economies that have previously implemented a value chain analysis through benchmarking techniques to gain a competitive advantage. They can ultimately gather insightful information on the secrets and

Value chain analyses a firm 's internal activities such as planning, production, and development, packaging and distribution so as to create value for clients. The function of the value chain is to identify the sources for cost reduction along with quality improvement. It means value chain is used to identify the strong and weak points, positive and negative points, the scope of improvement; in a nutshell, the advantages and disadvantages of the activities taking place in the system. The value chain is also called as a strategic analysis tool and it is a well-known concept in business management industry.

A value delivery network allows many companies to create customer value that cannot be created by use of the company’s own value chain. A “Value delivery network,” is made up of the company, suppliers, distributors, and ultimately the customers who partner with each other to improve the performance of the entire system (Armstrong et al. 52). This type of system interests me because I have always been curious as to what path a product or service must take in order to be considered a “value” to a customer. Generating my interest during one of the case studies during class, Accenture is a company that has improved the value delivery network for many companies. Accenture has improved not only the value delivery system for the airline industry, but its own global delivery system with its partner BT.
No one wants to die. That is a fact of life and a part of human nature. Unfortunately, humans are the main source for increasing pollution rates, deforestation, a large contributor to climate change, and the overall destruction of our planet. This is not a local issue, a state issue, or even an issue subjected to just one country. This is a global issue that will affect everything. Our withering planet is why I believe space travel is important for our society.
