Argumentative Essay On Advanced Directive

217 Words1 Page

The topic I would like is advanced directives. I have worked in surgical centers and the first question asked before surgery is “do you have and advanced directive?”.

It is very important to have one because in an emergency situation (ex. a problem after surgery), many family members may have different feeling on what the plan of care of the patient should be and their emotions can cause them to overlook the wishes of their loved one. There are two main types of directives,

  • Argumentative Essay About Veterans Affairs

    428 Words  | 2 Pages

    A common view of politicians about Veterans Affairs and the money tied up in it is that the United States has put too much money into the well-being of veterans coming home from war. The United States is already in a spiralling debt crisis and currently the United States does not need any more debt on the shoulders of Americans. According to Forbes, “the federal government has accumulated $18.2 trillion of debt” (Patton). If the United States were to invest more money into Veteran Affairs, that would mean that money would have to be cut from other programs in the budget to prevent even more national debt. If money were to not be cut from other programs, the national debt would drastically increase or taxes would skyrocket.

    Euthanasia, also known as assisted suicide, is the act of permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured patients. This is never suggested by the caretaker rather than requested by the patient or their family. Few areas such as the Netherlands have already legalized this practice. This debate, as split as a fork in the road, is over whether or not this approach should be legalized worldwide on stances regarding religion, ethics, and self choice.     I see this as being extremely unethical on both religious and social morality levels.
