Florida Should Legalize Euthanasia
Florida should legalize euthanasia and I offer the following plan. The way Florida would legalize euthanasia should be by setting up a set of professional doctors who could examine all cases in which a person or an ill patients family request euthanasia due to extreme pain or an incurable disease.
The doctors could examine these people and if they find there is no way other than the use of machines 24-hours a day to keep these people alive they will allow the doctor of the patient to assist in suicide or in better terms freeing an immense pain and agony. The benefits from legalizing euthanasia in Florida would be the health care spent to keep many of the people who live on machines from terminally or incurable diseases would be saved, many families would not have to watch there family member die slowly, and many stories like Sue
Rodriguez's would never be.
In the first place, health care on people with incurable or deadly diseases cannot be paid by many people because of no medical insurance according to Euthanasia questions by the IAETF. The government jumps in and pays for the treatment and care. This could be replaced in incurable or agonizing pain situations with the better and cheaper treatment of death.
Next, not all family life is harmonious, and underlying pathology can often be exacerbated by the stresses of a family member's terminal illness bring says an article in Law Medicine & Health Care of 1992. If euthanasia is legalized the family members of a patient could sleep peacefully knowing that they have been "mercied" and died easily and with little pain instead of being kept alive by a machine or dying slowly and painfully from an incurable disease.
Finally, let me tell you a true story from Vess Fast Access TO
Information On Euthanasia, about a 31-year old mother named Sue Rodriguez. Sue
Rodriguez was dying slowly of the incurable Lou Gehrig's disease. She lived several years with the knowledge that the disease would one by one waste away her muscles until the point while still conscious the lack of muscles would choke her to death. She begged the courts to allow her and her doctor to choose the moment of her death instead of the inspicable pain of being choked to death.
The court refused to mercy her and she lived in terror every day. Every morning she would wake up wondering if this is the day she would be choked to death maybe while her children watch. In February 1994, Sue Rodriguez died.
There are many debates whether the police make right choices in certain dangerous situations or whether the police have too much power. The best solution for any person, who happened to be a suspect for a police, is to comply to the police and surrender to avoid any bad outcomes. Later, with lawyers in the police station every issue will resolve and if a suspect is innocent, police will let him or her go. All this will prevent any tragic consequences. The society has to remember that not complying to the police when they tell you so, will cause many troubles. Police officers are trained to follow certain rules but in situations where a police officer has to make a very quick decision about what to do, how to stop something/someone dangerous, there is no time for the police officer to think about right steps and consequences.
For the last score police brutality has been a controversial topic for many people. Many people argue that law enforcement is no longer doing its job properly. Instead of working to build a safe environment, many police officers are always been extremely detrimental to society. They are marginalizing and brutalizing the community, especially black people. The police are not doing their job properly. Actually, so many black people have been killed unjustly by the same authorities who suppose to protect them. Take as examples the treatment of Amadou Diallo, Ousmane Zongo, and Eric Garner, who were marginalized, brutalized and killed by some police officers who were supposed to protect them.
Some people think that people who are in mental anguish are going to be able to get a physician to assist in their suicide. This should not and will not happen, because they are not terminally ill and are able to be treated with therapy.

In order for police to balance the need in public safety they can begin by following every citizens’ rights of freedom. By following the peoples right this will develop a trust factor between an officer and a citizen. People want to know that them and their families’ lives are protected
...l minorities, false arrests, and excessive use of force” (Elliott). With the help of the media and higher officials, police could be focused on even more. Police officers need to know that they are being watched and consequences will be addressed of wrongdoing. Police brutality might not ever stop and it won 't be easy to do. “If police brutality was just a matter of a few bad apples, it would be a lot easier to solve. But it isn’t. Protecting bad cops are built into the fabric of police culture and is a structural issue that has to be corrected with structural solutions” (Starr). Police brutality might not ever be fully dissolved, but the community needs justice. The families of loved ones who died because of police brutality need justice to be served. Police brutality should not go unnoticed and must be stopped before more innocent lives are taken way too early.
In 1982, the federal government funded a “Police Services Study” in which over 12,000 randomly selected citizens were interviewed in three metropolitan areas. The study found that 13 percent of those surveyed had been victims of police brutality the previous year. However, only 30 percent of those who acknowledged such brutality filed formal complaints. Police use force excessively on citizens and some do get caught on tape, misconduct also takes place in jail to. By law police do have a right to use force, but only if necessary. One example of police brutality is Mike Brown’s death. An officer named Darren wilson shot him and it started a whole big controversy on the killing. The officer did not get charged with anything so Mike Brown’s family has no justice. Also a young boy was killed in a park by the police. He was 12 years old and had a fake gun, police rode up on the sidewalk and shot him they did not even try to get out the vehicle. Furthermore, in New York a man named Eric Gardner was put in a vicious chokehold and was killed by New York Police. The Police system has major problems that need to be fixed. The government is giving military equipment to police officers and they use this equipment with force. In our times, the police have become the
Police brutality wasn’t really important before but nowadays it is a important issue because it happens more often. The term "police brutality" was used in the American press as early as 1872 when a civilian was hit under arrest. Police brutality consists of excessive deadly force,unjustified shootings and filing untrue reports. This problem has been growing over time and nothing has really been done to stop police brutality. African American and Hispanic people are impacted the most because they are discriminated more than white people. 52% of African-American are worried about being treated unfairly by police officers. There are more African Americans that don’t feel safe when they are on the streets because they can be killed or injured by a police officer. There have been some cases that when a police officer kills an unarmed person they are put in jail, but that doesn’t really help to solve the problem because then they get a bail. This problem is getting worst because like I said before, police brutality wasn’t really serious a few decades ago, but as time goes by it keeps getting
Many studies have shown that teenagers who watch shows about teen moms are more likely to not getting pregnant in their teen years. “MTV’s 16 and Pregnant franchise is responsible for almost 6 percent of the recent declines in teen births in the United States” (Kempner). All teens who are sexually active should watch these programs. Before this, in the US, 750,000 teens would get pregnant each year (Sun). This amount of pregnancies is erratic and it’s something that needed to be taken care of. If one show can make a difference, why not have your teens watch it. It would only benefit them and give them a better understanding of how things really are.
In a possibly unapproachable circumstance, a police officer will rapidly make a reply and apply force, if needed. Situational knowledge is essential, and police officers learn to judge when a crisis requires the use of force to recover power of a circumstance. In most cases, time becomes the main variable in deciding when an officer chooses to use force. Police officers should use only the amount of force required to ease a confrontation, make an arrest, or defend themselves or others from danger. The level of power a law enforcement officer uses changes based on the condition of the event. Because of this difference, rules for the use of force are built on several issues, including the police officer’s level of preparation or experience. An officer’s objective is to recover power as soon as possible while defending the community. However, use of force is an officer’s final choice. Damages may occur in any use-of-force event, and police should make sure that those hurt receive medical assistance. Also, the family must be informed of any person who remains
... may instead utilize the cultivation theory in a different perspective for this situation. 16 and Pregnant has stressed the importance of safe sex and has also shown the difficulties that come with having children as teenagers therefore their beliefs of teen pregnancy have perhaps been shaped by the negative portrayal. Overall, the study cannot guarantee that the show is what create the decrease in teen pregnancies but it is something to be noted and further researched.
What are the odds that it would be difficult for teenagers to struggle to have to take care of a baby? The odds are very high. But some teens like to take the chance of having unprotected sex, and it ends up with them being a parent and not being able to go out with friends and have fun because they have a huge responsibility that needs to be fed and burped frequently. “16 and Pregnant” do not promote teen pregnancy; it shows the real lives of teen parenthood and the consequences that will be faced if there is no birth control being used. Teens will not have fun, they will have a hard time finishing school, they need to work for diapers, not movie tickets, and they will have a lot more challenges having to be faced than the average teen. No child should be taken care of another child, it just ends up having to rely on everyone on everything. This situation lays on a bed of problems. This can be avoided by watching someone else’s experience and not having to create for
Here I am, seventeen years old and a senior in high school. The same age my birth mother was when she was pregnant with her third child. Could you imagine how difficult that would be? Planning graduation and what you could do for your child? When my birth mother had me at age 13, there were no shows like 16 and pregnant. In 2009, MTV started the show 16 and pregnant hoping that young viewers would learn and wait to start their families. Four years into the TV show teen pregnancy rates were at a record low. “ Births to teen moms have been steadily dropping since 1991, down to 44 percent in nine years. Rates dropped nine percent from 2009-2010 alone, reaching a historic low of 34.4 births per 100 woman aged 15-19.” Stated the CDC. Shows like
During their routine patrol the two officers approached a parked SUV in a hotel parking lot. Both of the police officers in this particular incident are experienced members of the Tulsa Police Department Gang Unit and during this incident both officers egressed from their vehicle to approach the SUV. Officer Shawn Hickey approached a first floor resident to begin questioning him, where his partner Chris Beyerl approach the passenger’s side of the SUV to talk to the passenger. As Officer Chris Beyerl approach the SUV a back seat passenger exit the vehicle and began walking away from the seen. When Chris asked the passenger of the vehicle to rolled down their window they refused and Chris then moved to the driver’s side to engage in a routine conversation with the drive. When Officer Chris Beyerl approached the driver’s side he noticed that a hand gun was pointed at him resulting in him drawing his own service weapon and firing at the suspect with the weapon killing them on the scene. The rest of the suspects involved in this shooting immediately flew the scene and were later apprehended at a separate location. This is an example of routine stop by two police officers that ended in a fatal shooting. These police officers had no intentions on killing anyone but after a hand gun was drawn, an immediate threat to the lives of the police officers was engaged, resulting in the use of lethal
