Law & Ethics - February 2007

I live in Virginia State, but i am a resident. I am 7 weeks pregnant, but my guy bailed out on me & changed his name. All i have is his car licence plate number & the make of his car.The DMV & Police would not help to give me information on his address. I don't have enough money to hire a Lawyer or a detective.
Any suggestion or a way by using the internet that i could find the information i need using his car tag number?
HELP PLEASE ! I don't want to go through the pregnancy without him & i don't want abortion !!! Thank you

Physician Assisted Suicide is when if somone is dying from a servere illness, they could request to have medications to make the pain go away during there death, by the doctors.

In most states, this is illegal because it is believed that it is inhumane to do so.

My opinion on this, is that if you're dying from an illness, and you want medication to ease the pain during your death it is your right to request it. If I was in that position, I would want meds to help me out, I wouln't want to die in servere pain. Would you?

I mean, it doesn't make sense when it's humane to put animals down, or to kill people with electric chairs and lethal injection. But it's not okay to help someone out?

What's your oponion on this?

People point fingers at lawyers for our rising health care costs, but is this fair? My Points, and sources are below.

-Malpractice costs amounted to “less than 2 percent of overall health care spending. Thus, even a reduction of 25 percent to 30 percent in malpractice costs would lower health care costs by only about 0.4 percent to 0.5 percent, and the likely effect on health insurance premiums would be comparably small.” [Congressional Budget Office, “Limiting Tort Liability for Medical Malpractice,” 1/08/04]

-Medical errors kill as many as 98,000 Americans every year and cost as much as $29 billion, according to the Institute of Medicine. Other research suggests that the human toll may be far higher, with preventable errors and negligence taking the lives of 195,000 people each year. [“To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System,” Institute of Medicine, 2000; “Patient Safety in American Hospitals,” HealthGrades, July 2004, www.healthgrades.com]

There is this house that I am completely in love with. It's Victorian style house that has been abandoned. On the Outside it looks like it needs a lot of work but my husband and I are interested in buying it. We have thought about "breaking in" to look inside but we're afraid we'd get in trouble with the cops. If we explained the situation that we're looking to buy it would they accept that? Or what are some means to find out who owns the house?

Currently an AIDS epidemic is sweeping the world. In countries like China and continents like Africa, the Catholic church plays a fairly significant role in political and religious feeling. Should the Catholic Church change it's policy on contraception such as condoms to try and reduce the spread of AIDS?

On one side, condoms can save lives by preventing the spread of AIDS, but on the other side condoms can increase sexual carelessness and premarital sex by taking some of the "edge" off sex.

Maybe the Catholic Church should merely work towards better sex education rather than outright changing their policy? Or should they take an even harder line on promiscuity and traditionally polygamous cultures?

"PITTSBURGH - The father of a young girl who died of exposure had knocked her unconscious because he was angry, then took her outside in subfreezing temperatures and left her there, police said before the man's arraignment Thursday.


Nyia Miangel Page, who was about to turn 2, was found dead Sunday on a wooded knoll about a 10 minute walk from the family's home. Tiny footprints in the snow suggested she had gotten up and wandered around before she died, police said."

Being the father of a young daughter myself, i would kill this man with my bare hands if i could. A person like this has NO PLACE being alive on this earth.

Recently I read in a paper about a person getting invovled in a case in which he had nothing to do. He was invovled & arrested for something he did'nt do. It was a car stealing car case in which he was a car dealer. Althougth he was innocent he was daily harressed by the cops as he was easy victim. Anyways he got the bail & now case is still going in the court but one thing that interested me about his case was when he entered in the court he & everone invovled in the case was told by the cops to remove their slippers/shoes that they were wearing. Now here I don't understand that why were they told to remove their shoes before entering the court? Were they afraid of something dangerous hidden in their shoes/slippers?

In relation to my neighbours house fire mentioned in my last question again i find myself asking for yet more assistance in this one the situatio is tht in November the Local housing association re-wired his home, after work was completed they failed to send an inspector up to perform safety checks untils after the fire. The cause of the fire was according to the Fire marshall an electrical fire which started when the fridge light started sparking and ignited the insulation. The fire marshall said the RCD on should have trpped cutting the current and therefore stopping the fire before it started, but it did not trip until the firemen turned the hoses on. Please could you give me your opinions on this matter as he doesn't want to push this further until he is positive he has a case.

My former employer recently closed on an Asset Sale. in a way to continue in business yet seperate himself, and his new "employer" from his past debts...I, along with others are owed money, such as past salary, and out laid expenses. However the most damaging issue is that the employer had been deducting $224.00 from my check on a wkly basis to have health coverage, administered by his co. We were notified thyat the plan had been terminated over two mos. ago, and it would cost each employee approx. 1500 to $3500 to reactivate this plan retro. Does his well-planned action of Asset Sale protect him from liability? Is this criminal insurance fraud? And why does Florida appear to be a wonderful State to do Bad Business in?

My husband is a serious alcoholic. He will leave the house sober but come home so drunk he will fall flat on his face when he walks in the door! It is just a matter of time before he gets a DUI or worse yet, kills somebody on the road. My question is, to prevent a horrible accident, can I make a citizens arrest next time he comes home intoxicated while driving? I live in California, if that makes a difference.

When married do partners debts become your debts. If the house is in your name and not your partners name can the debts affect the security of the house.

One week ago I was put on a temporary contract till march, the first day of my booking I experience a very hostile environment, at first I thought nothing of it that’s just life not everyone can't get along. one my second day I started to realize that the hostility was directed at me especially from the managers which happened to be two white women, I not really one to cry racism at any little thing I’m a strong person and I can handle myself. but I felt very uncomfortable with this environment it was the first time I’ve every experience such discrimination on the forth day I was called in the office and told that "I wasn’t what they were looking for" No other valid reason was discussed I later found out that another black girl was sent to the same company two weeks b4 and left for similar reason, should they get away with this?

How long do you have to live together as "husband" and "wife" for a common law marriage?

How long can you get away with living with a partner without it being recognised as marriage?

Do you have to specifically tell other people you are married for common law marriage to be recognised?

Also, do you have to get "divorced" from a common law marriage? If so, do people this this unfair?

Knowledge and opinions please...
