Pages : 264
Book Description
What is Unloving? It is an antichrist spirit sent to steal, kill and destroy - you. It is a spirit that makes you feel unclean and unworthy. You feel like you don't measure up; you're no good. When you hear your voice talking, it sounds like a piece of sandpaper on the side of an old piece of metal. When you look at yourself in the mirror, it says, "You are not the fairest of them all, you old ugly thing." When you look at someone else, you're sure they hate your guts. You think you can see it in their eyes. When you understand the Unloving, you will have the discernment to resist the devil so he must flee from you.

Deciding to Forego Life-sustaining Treatment

Pages : 564
Book Description
Abstract: A comprehensive report by the US President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research addresses some of the most important and troubling ethical and legal questions in modern medicine for consideration by health care professionals, lawyers, and relatives of patients regarding the sensitive topic of voluntary cessation of life-sustaining therapy for the seriously ill. It was concluded that the cases that involve true ethical difficulties are much fewer than commonly believed and that the perception of difficulties primarily occurs because of misunderstandings about the dictates of law and ethics. It also is concluded that, while competent informed patients have the authority to decline or accept health care, others must act on the behalf of incompetent patients. The report urges that health care institutions develop and use internal review methods that permit exploration of all relevant issues. The 7 report chapters are grouped around 2 themes: the various aspects of making treatment decisions; and patient groups raising special concerns (e.g.: permanently-unconscious patients; seriously-ill newborns.
