From the Paper
"... note that the provision of range of motion (ROM) exercises early on by professional physical therapists can provide the patient with a wide variety of benefits relative to rate of recovery, degree of recovery, use of medication, use of appliances, overall comfort, and amount of time loss from work, and return to work. Given these numerous benefits, then, the provision of physical therapy can not only benefit the patient but, as well, the insurance company responsible for purchasing health care and the employer whose loss of revenues may adversely affect organization operation and financial standing of the firm. Beyond these, the hospital providing the physical therapy as well as benefits, in that ... "

Abstract
The paper discusses how passive smoking is presented to the public as causing very serious negative effects on health. This view is now very much accepted as fact. At the same time, there is a major contradiction to it, since many people who smoked for many years do not show these effects. The ideas of Jasanoff and Wynne will be used to show that passive smoking is as much politics as it is science. It is a case of information being given to us by experts. The paper examines who are these experts? What are their goals? The paper examines how Jasanoff and Wynne are critical of how problems are presented or framed and about how the issue of uncertainty is dealt with.

Abstract
This paper examines how in comparison to the use of violence in political activism and protest, the use of nonviolent passive resistance has proven more successful in achieving political goals throughout history. It discusses how it is unreasonable to believe that additional violence can possibly help solve more problems than it will create in the effort to achieve political goals and maintain international peace. The author takes the stance that people should feel motivated to take an active role in politics and stand up for their moral beliefs through passive resistance.
From the Paper
"Passive resistance, also known as civil disobedience, is founded on the principal of nonviolent protest. Typically, people who practice passive resistance see a certain law, principal, or regulation, either social or legal, that they feel is morally wrong, and therefore break these laws because the laws go against their morals. Passive resistance protesters are willing to be punished for their actions. and they hope their peaceful acceptance of punishment,will set an example for others to follow in their footsteps. There is an overwhelming amount of historical support in favor of passive resistance, and many leaders of modern nonviolent political movements have followed the ideas of political activists and revolutionary thinkers like Samuel Adams, Henry David Thoreau, and Martin Luther King, Jr., who have followed a tradition of civil disobedience throughout American history."

Passive Euthanasia, 2004.
A comparative analysis of Judaic and Catholic points of view of passive euthanasia.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that the euthanasia debate which is often heated and controversial, is part of the larger 'right to die' debate and is related to civil, personal freedom and liberty issues. In terms of a secular viewpoint and from the stance of legal and moral issues alone, the paper explains that euthanasia relates specifically to personal and individual freedom and should be morally and legally permissible. However, in the religious and non-secular context, the paper claims that active and passive euthanasia become severely problematic issues. The paper examines the theological and moral implications of any form of life-taking, including euthanasia, explaining that they are contrasted with religious teachings that emphasize sanctity of life and the relationship between the individual human life and God. The paper states that according to both the Judaic and Catholic perspectives and law, the implications of a religious perspective are that the patient does not have the sole right to his or her life and this life is, in a religious sense, an endemic part of the religious context from which it came.

Comparison and Conclusion
From the Paper
"In essence there are four types of Euthanasia which are generally referred to. These are active, passive, voluntary and involuntary. Active euthanasia, which is the most contentious form, is when a patient's life is ended in an active and intentional way, usually in order to reduce suffering or terminate what the medial practitioner may view as a hopeless case. Passive euthanasia on the other hand is taking no direct action to end life, while at the same time also not taking steps to extend life unnaturally. "It is when a doctor withholds any means in order to prolong the life of a patient." (Ibrahim, D.E. 2002) Voluntary euthanasia refers to a patient's desire to end his own life. This refers to the personal decision by an individual or patent to terminate his or her own life. Involuntary euthanasia refers to the non-involvement of the patient, usually because he or she is not capable of making any decisions; for example when the patient is mentally ill or in a coma.

Abstract
The paper contends that active euthanasia should never be legalized because it is morally wrong. The paper explores passive euthanasia, which is generally accepted when it is clear that a person wants to have no extraordinary measures taken to prolong his/her life. The paper discusses how nurses must be familiar with the complexities of euthanasia. The paper explains that a request for active euthanasia can result in a serious ethical dilemma for the nurse who is unprepared and who has not determined a personal ethical stance.
From the Paper
"Active euthanasia and assisted suicide will very probably never be legalized in Canada. I agree because the ethical principle relating to autonomy is violated in cases of assisted suicide, irrespective of whether or not the patient's consent is given. The view of the Canadian government on assisted suicide has been clear through the 1993 case of Sue Rodriguez. This woman was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease and requested the right to assisted suicide. A painful death was inevitable and she wished official approval of her eventual need for assisted suicide. The government's decision can be viewed in two ways. First of all, as stated by the court, "Fundamental justice required that a fair balance be struck between the interests of the state and those of the individual" (Kondro, 1993, p. 918). The principle at work was justice and determining what was the best course for all individuals. Assisted suicide, if legalized, can lead to abuse. The other viewpoint is that the court's decision was based on a slippery slope or fear of possible negative outcomes."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To monitor and evaluate this policy, there are various methods that can be employed. If the proposed policy is implemented as described above, there will be a need for an agency or a special task force to regulate the policy and ensure its successful implementation. Power will need to be vested in this agency to not only respond to complaints, but also to conduct random inspections. As part of the evaluation process, reports can also be compiled on bars and clubs at monthly intervals to gauge the effect of the policy on the health of bar and club employees. Reports would also be needed to assess the impact of the proposed policy on other factors such as bar trade and patronage. By ensuring careful monitoring and evaluation methods occur, the process of implementing the proposed policy will be more effective and manageable."

"The purpose of this research is to examine issues surrounding the creation and application of voluntary passive living wills. The plan of the research will be to set forth a description of the basic characteristics of the voluntary passive living will, to discuss such wills from the perspective of a nonprofit hospital administrator, and then to explore the political issues that enter into the resolution of problems surrounding their use. As appropriate, reference will be made to the various adversarial positions taken for and against the use of living wills, as well as those persons and entities that have the power to sanction or prevent the implementation of wishes declared in a living will.
The subject of euthanasia, or mercy killing, has been a subject of discussion in the contemporary period for more than 20 ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that Americans tend to advocate political involvement as an ends; but, when it comes to the means, they tend to get caught up in their own lives and leave the political reformation to "the other guy". The author points out that many experts indicate that, part of the reason for the lackadaisical attitude which pervades American society stems from a widespread disillusionment with the political leadership of all parties and a general distrust of political representatives regardless of their ideologies or backgrounds. The paper stresses that the most seemingly insurmountable barrier to the successful exchange of ideas between the voters and the politicians is citizens who do not know how to exercise their rights and responsibilities and those who do not have confidence in their ability to influence public policies.
From the Paper
"One reason for the lack of distrust in politicians, other than the obvious media hyped scandals, is the venerable conjecture that personal gain should take precedence over the common good. Individualism, at the expense of others, gradually depletes the common support of community significance, values, and the gathering together of large groups of people to support or oppose certain political views. This lack of community closeness often manifests itself in public apathy. After all, the flow of information and the incitement of political discussion is reliant on the gathering together of various groups of people to exchange ideas."

Active and Passive Sentences, 2002.
Discusses and compares these forms of sentence structure.

Abstract
The term active or passive typically denotes what type of verb and emphasis is being placed on that verb within an individual sentence. A passive sentence is derived from an active sentence and does not stand alone as a basic sentence type. The paper shows that most people speak and comprehend words in the active form. The active form can be manipulated however, so that the performer of an action within the sentence is de-emphasized, and the main subject or actor noun is moved into an adverbial prepositional phrase. The paper explores how passive sentences and phrases challenge the student of English.
From the Paper
"Passive sentences by nature are difficult to comprehend and interpret, because they don?t follow the logical ?thought process? most people incur when speaking. By changing the position of the subject and direct object, and the inclusion of ?by? in passive sentences, an English student may not understand correctly what is being said initially. For example, one might say ?Perry was beat by Jake? instead of ?Jake beat Perry.? The latter sentence, in the active form, is easy to understand. Jake is the doer in this sentence. The first sentence however, written in the passive, may confuse the reader into assuming that Perry did the beating, because Perry is assuming the position of the primary noun and ?doer? of an action within the sentence. One would have to review the sentence carefully to make a proper assumption (245)."

Abstract
This paper states that doctor assisted suicide in the form of passive euthanasia and active euthanasia under certain conditions are morally justified. The author reasons that this moral justification is based on the basic ethical principle that human suffering should not be prolonged by medical science simply to extend physical life. The paper relates that rational egoism, which claims that the promotion of one's own interests is always in accordance with reason, justifies euthanasia because terminally ill human beings have the inherent right to protect their own interests by refusing medical treatment.
From the Paper
"Doctor assisted suicide in the form of passive euthanasia, and active euthanasia under certain conditions, is morally justified because of the basic ethical principle that human suffering should not be prolonged by medical science simply to extend physical life. Rational egoism, which "claims that the promotion of one's own interests is always in accordance with reason" (Mosely) justifies euthanasia, because terminally ill human beings have the inherent right to protect their own interests by refusing medical treatment. They are the moral guardians of their own lives and the ultimate authority to be considered; not doctors, lawyers, insurance companies, nor the government."

Abstract
This paper offers a recommendation on a biomedical ethics' case concerning passive voluntary euthanasia where the patient's family and health care providers are divided on how to proceed.
From the paper:
"In Case # 6, the dilemma facing the health care provider is whether or not to continue life preserving measures while considering an advance directive (living will), family wishes and disagreement between the Health Care Team on the matter. The patient in this case is a 27-year old male who was left with multiple rib fractures, a pelvic fracture as well as basal skull fractures after a serious motor vehicle accident. The patient?s wife and daughter died as a result. This patient also suffered a brainstem hemorrhage and mild cerebral edema. He is expected to recover from his fractures, though it is not likely he will recover from the head injury, which has left him with no voluntary movement other than vertical movements of his eyes."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer considers the various aspects of euthanasia. The writer looks at passive and active euthanasia and also discusses assisted suicide. The writer attempts to rationally explain or justify some or all of these activities by doctor.
From the Paper
"At one time death meant the termination of breathing and heartbeat. This definition worked until technology made it possible to sustain respiration and heartbeat almost indefinitely, even without brain activity. Brain death became the next standard of death and remains the standard used to determine death. Peter Setness writing in Postgraduate Medicine comments that medical science now offers us the ability to sustain life under remarkably adverse conditions. Patients, whose prognosis would have been deemed hopeless just a decade ago now routinely ... "
