Law & Ethics - December 2006

If you believe that the system is broken, tell us how you would fix it.
Governor Ryan of Illinois found it so broken that he commuted all death row inmates to life without parole at the end of his term, 160 men. One man scheduled to be executed was exhonerated by the investigations of a college journalism class purely by accident.

Nothing is worse than Animal Rape!

It makes when i hear someone or the News say>>>> MAN CAUGHT HAVING SEX WITH ANIMAL...Sex ...??? No it is Rape why would an animal want some foreign species like a human violate .....What I think is that Any Human capable of something so savage should be shot on the spot.......Just imagine how traumatized the poor innocent animal is...
Should there be a death penalty for Bestiality(animal Rape) ?

WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE LIKE THAT ROAMING THE STREETS LOOSE AND FREE..????

Meaning, is it right for parents to create a "savior" child who would act as a donor (blood, tissue, organ, etc.) for its terminally ill sibling who may otherwise not find a suitable donor.

I was talking about a conversation I had with an accused but was confused about the exact content of that conversation and so may have said things which on reflection was not actually said. This was recorded and later presented to me to sign. On reading I realised I had indeed made some errors and refused to sign the statement. Am I guilty of perjury? Can I amend my statement since it is still unsigned? Please help.

I watched my best friend slowly die of cancer. He went to the these "meetings" at a hospital in Northern CA. All members offered each other valuable support AFTER they all sat in a hospital-owned bloodmobile and smoked pot. He said it did not take the pain away but changed it. It made the Chemotherapy easier. He could eat again. It added probably a year of quality life before the disease took him. CA passed a prop allowing this. The feds won't recognize it and threaten us. Meanwhile my Dad got cancer. He refused the pot and was miserable as he slowly died. I talked Mom into baking him some pot brownies without him knowing. It was like turning the page of a book! The spigot of life was turned to the "on" position once again. Later, Mom made him a "herbal tea" that he drank daily. His intake of liquid morphene was halved! He finally died, but he died peacefully with Mom and I hugging each other. We waved at the ceiling as he went. The tea kettle whistled in the kitchen. Why cant we help?

I've heard about a phenomenon of being grounded. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of penalty for speaking out against President Bush and that it's a pretty American-centric type of punishment that's even pushing it's prevelance into Australian society. How can the so-called "land of the free" be the source of such oppressive, degrading, wacky punishments?

With reference to the Supreme Court Judgement in the Parliament attack case awarding death sentence to the accused, Home Minister has said that it would take upto 7 years for the Parliament to dispose off a Mercy Petition to the President. Has he (Home Minister) not transgressed his limits and has given his own judgement suspending the hanging for seven years? Does not this amount to Contemt of Court by over ruling the order of the highest judiciary of the land?.

My supervisor vebally assaulted me calling me a d i c k, and ******, amoungst other things because I reported him to my manager for leaving 15 minutes without coverage, which I AM supposed to do. He then set up a sting with a friend of his and took a picture of me without my consent with my feet up and gave me a write up for it. It was clearly an act of vengeance. Keep in mind, that I am in front of computer monitors all shift, and it's very difficult to stay comfortable there. Can I sue?

Ok so i know that studies have shown that it is NOT a deterant and all that. And i agree that it isn't. however, i am doing a pro death penalty debate and i need to find evidence to show that the death penalty DOES deter crime.... (and im not talking about recidivism, or the same criminal commiting another crime... im talking about preventing it in the first place.)

If you leave a bike in the street can someone take it? How about a suitcase full of money in the park? Basically, to what extent is "finders' keepers, losers weepers" a valid legal principle?

I am doing a debate and i really need some reasons for pro death penalty so far all i can think of are:
1) deters crime (even though its kind of untrue, i cant think of anything else)
2) prevents recidivism
3)provides justice/closure for families

well i know these arent great arguments but i cant think of anything else! also if you can find a source that proves that it deters murders that would be great because most studies show that it doesn't.... thanks best answer 10 pts

Jack Kevorkian to Be Paroled in June
He Promises Not to Assist Any More Suicides
By KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN
AP
LANSING, Mich. (Dec. 13) - After more than eight years behind bars for murder, an ailing Dr. Jack Kevorkian will be paroled in June on a promise not to help anyone else commit suicide, prison officials said Wednesday.

Over the summer, Kevorkian's lawyer said that Kevorkian was suffering from hepatitis C and diabetes, that his weight had dropped to 113 pounds and that he had less than a year to live. Last Thursday, Kevorkian promised the parole board he would not take part in another suicide if released.

Should Dr. Jack Kavorkian ever had been sent to jail in the first place?

Was Dr. Kavorkian a victim or our values/system or was Dr. Kavorkian's inprisonment legitimate?

Kevorkian, who claimed to have assisted in at least 130 suicides in the 1990s, called it a mercy killing. He was sent to prison in 1999. He was credited with a year and nine months for good behavior.
