Assisted Suicide
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses various ethical
issues associated with assisted suicide. The debate has generally
centered around both the moral and legal issues of the process.
The central argument for assisted suicide is based on respect for
the patients' autonomy. The main argument against assisted
suicide is the belief in the inherent sacredness of life and that
God only has the right to end one's life. The ethical questions
surrounding the care of terminally ill patients often focus on
when treatment should be withheld or withdrawn. A case study
regarding a paralyzed but mentally competent adult,
African-American man and a severely disabled newborn is also
considered. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Diabetes Mellitus / Overview
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing the actions and long-term implications of the diabetes. At its core, the disease is the result of either insufficient insulin production or a decreased sensitivity to that which is produced in the body. There are two broad categories of diabetes, Type I, or insulin-dependent diabetes; and Type II, non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Type I formerly was referred to as juvenile diabetes while Type II was commonly known as adult-onset diabetes, but those terms are rarely used now that it is understood that either type can strike any age. Type II is by far the most common. Newly diagnosed cases have reached epidemic proportions worldwide, with new cases in the US increasing 50% between 1980 and 1994, with long-term complications such as kidney disease, atherosclerosis and diabetes-induced blindness similarly increasing in incidence. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Insulin Synthesis Using Recombinant Plasmid DNA
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing methods of constructing this plasmid containing a gene for human insulin. As much as 5 percent of the population may be affected by diabetes, a disease of carbohydrate metabolism in which the sufferer of the disease is unable to absorb glucose from the blood. Insulin for injection has been extracted from other animals until only recently. Though bovine insulin will work for human diabetes control, the chemical differences also cause reaction in some individuals. Bacterial generation of insulin using recombinant DNA techniques has largely replaced the use of bovine insulin in cases of human diabetes. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Juvenile Diabetes
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper overview of Type I diabetes mellitus, or insulin-dependent diabetes. Formerly referred to only as juvenile diabetes, it was thought in the past that children were affected with only this type of diabetes. As it has become known that anyone of any age can be afflicted with either Type I or Type II, the term 'juvenile diabetes' has fallen out of favor, but its effects are the same regardless of how it is labeled aside from the particular ways it affects children: They often are larger than other children their age and many go through puberty sooner than their non-diabetic friends. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
