Number of words: 588 - Number of pages: 3

.... nothing. When that happens, I am not able to do anything, especially study and that’s what I am at college for. Another thing that alcohol will do to me is it will subject me too memory loss.

.... not the help to die. They do not know the reason why they want to commit suicide they just find reasons to get the easy way out. Assisted Suicide should not be legalized because it is religiously wrong, because it is unethical and because it is MURDER. Assisted suicide is wrong in the eyes of God because suicide is a sin. Thomas Aquinas documented the Christian beliefs on suicide as “ It violates one’s natural desire to live, it harms other people and life is the gift from God and is thus only to be taken by God”. According to F. Schaeffer and C. Koop, “Every life is precious .....

.... adulthood, many of us here are not adults yet -- and by that definition, it wouldn't matter if your shot and killed on the street because "your not fully developed". We are a stage in development -- teenager -- just like a child is, just like a toddler is, just like an old man is, and just like a aborted child is. There is no magical transformation that occurs when a child is born. He has the same basic needs to survive before he is born, and the same needs after he is born. The negative is going to attempt to make you believe that the differnce in quality of a unborn child is so great t .....

Dreams
Number of words: 676 - Number of pages: 3

.... proposed the activation-synthesis hypothesis. Their neurological research indicates that large brain cells in the primitive brain stem spontaneously fire about every 90 minutes, sending random stimuli to cortical areas of the BRAIN. As a consequence, memory, sensory, muscle-control, and cognitive areas of the brain are randomly stimulated, resulting in the higher cortical brain attempting to make some sense of it.
