Artificial Nutrition and Hydration and the Permanently Unconscious Patient: The Catholic Debate By Ronald P. Hamel, James J. Walter 2007 | 289 Pages | ISBN: 1589011783 | PDF | 2 MB During the past few decades, high-profile cases like that of Terry Schiavo have fueled the public debate over forgoing or withdrawing artificial nutrition and hydration from patients in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). These cases, whether involving adults or young children, have forced many to begin thinking in a measured and careful way about the moral legitimacy of allowing patients to die. Can families forgo or withdraw artificial hydration and nutrition from their loved ones when no hope of recovery seems possible? Many Catholics know that Catholic moral theology has formulated a well-developed and well-reasoned position on this and other end-of-life issues, one that distinguishes between ''ordinary'' and ''extraordinary'' treatment. But recent events have caused uncertainty and confusion and even acrimony among the faithful. In his 2004 allocution, Pope John Paul II proposed that artificial nutrition and hydration is a form of basic care, thus suggesting that the provision of such care to patients neurologically incapable of feeding themselves should be considered a moral obligation. The pope's address, which seemed to have offered a new development to decades of Catholic health care ethics, sparked a contentious debate among the faithful over how best to treat permanently unconscious patients within the tenets of Catholic morality. In this comprehensive and balanced volume, Ronald Hamel and James Walter present twenty-one essays and articles, contributed by physicians, clergy, theologians, and ethicists, to reflect the spectrum of perspectives on the issues that define the Catholic debate. Organized into six parts, each with its own introduction, the essays offer clinical information on PVS and feeding tubes; discussions on the Catholic moral tradition and how it might be changing; ecclesiastical and pastoral statements on forgoing or withdrawing nutrition and hydration; theological and ethical analyses on the issue; commentary on Pope John Paul II's 2004 allocution; and the theological commentary, court decisions, and public policy resulting from the Clarence Herbert and Claire Conroy legal cases. A valuable resource for students and scholars, this teachable volume invites theological dialogue and ethical discussion on one of the most contested issues in the church today.

Arguments Counter to Einstein's Theory of Relativity: and Theory of Comparative Quantum Mechanics in the Micro and Macro Worlds by Mark F. Dennis English | March 28, 2015 | ISBN: 1508995265 | 202 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 3.85 Mb Much of modern quantum theory assumes that the rules of physics in this material physical world that we live in are not the same rules of physics in the quantum world. In this physical world, energy is an attribute of an object with mass; in the quantum world, it is taught that energy can exist without mass. In this physical world, an object cannot exist in two places at once; in the quantum world it can, popping in and out of existence. This research hypothesizes counter to these theories in that energy cannot exist without mass much like velocity cannot exist without the bullet or speed without a jet aircraft. Energy must be looked at much like Love, an action verb or transitive verb; it has to have an object and cannot exist by its self. If mass is taken out of the equation, energy must also be null. This hypothesis presumes that the rules of this world and the rules of the quantum world exist under the same controls; it simply may be that we see the quantum world all wrong and apply theories and laws that contradict. A Theory of Everything, where all the rules apply does exist; we just have to learn how this all works and that will take time.

Congress By Charles Bancroft Cushman 2006 | 249 Pages | ISBN: 0765615061 | PDF | 6 MB What does Congress do? How does it do it? Why is it such a complicated institution? This concise primer offers students and general readers a brief and systematic introduction to Congress and the role it plays in the US political system. Drawing on his experience as a former Congressional staff member, the author explores the different political natures of the House and Senate, examines Congress's interaction with other branches of the Federal government, and looks ahead to the domestic and foreign challenges that are likely to drive the Congressional agenda for decades to come. The book provides revealing insights into the sometimes-contradictory Congressional responsibilities of representation and lawmaking; oversight and appropriation; and managing and organizing the government. It includes a case study (on the formation of the Department of Homeland Security) that sheds light on Congress's often-complicated procedures. The book also includes boxed features on Congressional action - highlighting such topics as file sharing and student loans - that show students how Congress's work affects their lives. Chapter-ending lists of web resources add to the book's usefulness. |
