Law & Ethics - June 2007

A coworker put herion in her coffee which put her on life support for 2 days. When she returned to work the following week she was discharged for her family calling the police. And just for a hint; the company swears to having the "best always fresh coffee". All the family wanted was criminal justice and the company says her life is worth $15,000 in damages. It goes to court next week and it would be nice for the media to be aware of it.

Hi Everyone

Can you help me.

I am a Committee member of my local Royal British Legion social club.

My question is:

When you are made a Honorary Vice Chairman/President of a social club, what rights do you have at a Committee meeting?

Can you still attend all Committee meetings?
Can you join in with the Committee in discussions?
Are you allowed to vote at a Committee meeting?

What are you allowed to do as a Honorary Vice Chairman/President at a Committee meeting?

Best Regards

Jock.

Here's an idea for what to do about stem cells. If the genetic parents of an embryo both agree it's OK, then let those particular embryos be used for the research with federal funds. If I have to pay for creating an embryo, then it's mine and I should be able to decide how it should be used. There is no ethical boundary crossed by allowing federal funding, because it is my embryo. If you don't want your embryo to be used, then it won't be. Seems more practical than government approved 'ethics'.

We live by an ex labour councilman and for a few years he has used constant complaining to any official bodies he can contact to harass neighbors out of the area. He's been Harassing us in this fashion for a couple of years now and so far only about 1 of the hundreds of complaints made have been upheld so we are wondering if we have a case for harassment against him.

I applied for a position at a hospital. During the period of time I was waiting to hear back regarding my start date, I found another job that was a little closer to home for the same pay. I started paperwork at the new job and while that was going through, I informed my boss at the first place that I may only be availabe per diem, which he didn't have a problem with.
He actually put me on the schedule and started working me a bit. As it turned out, my application was rejected by the second job, so I called my boss and told him I wanted to change my status to full time. This was Thursday afternoon. He agreed to make me full time, on the condition that I request it in writing. I left the written request on his desk over the weekend, and he got it Monday morning. Tuesday morning, when I came to work, he told me he hired someone else because he thought I was going to change my mind again.
Can he hire someone else after promising the position to me?? What are my employee rights??

I have been going out with this girl from a respectable family for about 9 months now. She is 15 and her family hates me because I am 18. We love each other and saved up enough so we can move east. I just bought a new Honda Accord and it was trashed about a week ago so it delayed or move. Come to find out that the person who messed up my car turned out to be Jonice, my girlfriend's father. Saving up all of my hate I took aim at his home with a scoped rifle and waited for home to come out. To my amazement I saw him strike my girlfriend several times to her face! After he left I shot him in his right leg. Now I don't know what to do?! Turn myself in? Tell her? Run away? Throw away the gun? HELP!!!

In their website, the FDA clearly states do not order drugs from Canada because the drugs are not made in Canada but instead made in other foreign countries. Why does the FDA allow U.S. chain pharmacies to order their drugs from the same foreign countries?
