HIV/AIDS Patients and Suicide
[ send me this paper ]
This 18 page report discusses the
many issues associated with suicide and people with HIV/AIDS. The
disease has raised numerous issues such as access to care,
prevention, cost of treatment, drug therapy and much more. Not
surprisingly, it has also intensified the debate regarding right
to die, physician assisted suicide, and the moral issues
associated with suicide. As people are forced to live with a
disease that slowly but surely robs them of all strength and any
measure of personal dignity, many have made the decision not to
endure that process or cause their loved ones to have to
experience it with them. The impact of the loss of personal
autonomy, the emotional and physical suffering, and the related
care issues are presented in terms of both AIDS patients and
their caregivers. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Homeless Veterans And Their Unfair Plight In Contemporary America
