The case of Cruzan v. Missouri Department of Health, which was decided on June 25, 1990, involved Nancy Beth Cruzan, who was involved in a road accident that left her severely injured. She majorly survived on gastronomy tube feeding, and her parents, seeing her in the state, wanted to stop the life support machine. However, the hospital refused to take action without the approval of the court. The primary question presented to the Missouri Supreme Court was whether the fourteenth amendment of the Due Process Clause allowed Nancy’s parents to terminate the life-supporting procedure of their daughter. In a 5-4 decision, it was concluded that, though the Due Process Clause authorizes individuals to refuse medication, this does not apply to incompetent persons. The court hence took an action of preserving human life as there was no guarantee that the patient’s parents were acting on her best interests. In the United States constitution, the right of privacy refers to the autonomy of an individual to choose what they want to do. The fourteenth amendment of the Due Process Clause puts into…

                How youth have Replaced Human Interaction with Social Media Student Institution Date                                                                     How youth have Replaced Human Interaction with Social Media The emergence of the internet appeared to have altered the communication process from interpersonal, face-to-face, to computerized forms. According to Gapsiso and Wilson (2015), computer networks have become a social space in which people connect with others. Technology-mediated communication is now dominant globally, thereby transforming interpersonal relationships. Face-to-face links previously helped form and sustain interactions, but a social technology that creates a new type of interpersonal relationship has helped.

The new technologies of virtual interaction help fulfill humans’ nature as social beings because social media allows people to perform their crucial feeling of social belonging. The mobile phone has facilitated…

Underworld and Afterlife; Hymn to Demeter Homeric conception of the afterlife: No real afterlife: when a person dies his psyche flies out of his mouth and goes down to the underworld. There are no exceptions: no one goes off to heaven (except for Herakles). For a soul to gain entrance into the underworld he needs to gain a burial – or at least a symbolic burial. Without that burial or token burial, he isn’t allowed to enter the underworld but remains outside the underworld proper. This is seen by the souls of the dead as a terrible fate (Patroklos, Elpinor). But on gaining admission the soul resides there without consciousness. In the Odyssey, Odysseus has to go into the underworld to consult the prophet Tiresias. He digs a pit, sacrifices animals and lets their blood run into the pit. The souls are attracted to the blood in a zombie-like fashion and, he was told, if they drink blood, they regain their consciousness for a limited time and can converse and reminisce. This allows Odysseus to converse not only with Tiresias…
