Moreover, there is no other possible use of donor organs: they cannot be diluted and diverted from their intended recipients into a black market the way prescription drugs (for one example) can be misused and exploited purely for profit. Furthermore, there is a perpetual critical shortage of suitable donor organs available to the thousands of patients on recipient organ lists (Levine, 2008)
Therefore, every single organ recipient who receives a donor organ from a donor paid for voluntary participation corresponds to one more spot on the organ recipient eligibility list. Generally, the organs available from donors who choose to donate their organs for paid compensation would not be the same sources as the organs traditionally available to waiting potential recipients because those organs are almost exclusively obtained from the cadavers of individuals who chose to sign organ donor cards prior to their deaths (Tong, 2007)
I am also carefully choosing my words when transmitting a message of any kind, being aware that without grammar rules, clarity and logical thinking, communication is worthless. John Stratton emphasizes "the necessity of clear perceptions and careful use of language in our lives," something that Aristotle had stressed as essential more than two millennia before him (Stratton, 1999)
I am aware self-reflection is necessary, therefore I think about my own thoughts and try to reconsider them from broader perspectives than what my initial perspective might have been. As George Rainbolt and Sandra Dwyer are stressing in their book, Critical Thinking: The Art of Argument: "You don't know your own thoughts unless you think about them"(Rainbolt, Dwyer, 2011)
Retrieved May 27, 2014. In January 2014, Snowden claimed to have "made tremendous efforts to report these programs to co-workers, supervisors, and anyone with the proper clearance who would listen" (Cassidy, 2014)
79). A growing number of communities across the country have implemented so-called "no-kill" policies in their shelters that ensure animals are kept in a nurturing environment until they are placed in a new home or die of natural causes, and these shelters have successfully reduced their euthanasia rates and increased their placement rates as a result (Boks, 2005)
Reasons in Support of Pet Adoptions from Shelters The term "pet" includes a wide range of animal species, but typically refers to dogs, cats, fish and other commonly kept household animals (Fine, 2006). In the United States, millions of people own dogs and cats in particular, and animal shelters overflow with abandoned pets (Cherry, 2007)
In fact, some American communities have gone so far as to adopt a "no kill" policy in their pet shelters that ensures no pets will be destroyed, making this an optimal solution where it is feasible. Reasons in Support of Pet Adoptions from Shelters The term "pet" includes a wide range of animal species, but typically refers to dogs, cats, fish and other commonly kept household animals (Fine, 2006)
Warrants in Support of Pet Adoptions from Shelters There is a growing recognition in the United States that animal shelters are overflowing and that something needs to be done to reverse this ugly trends. In response, a number of groups have emerged in recent years that encourage people seeking pets to adopt them from local animal shelters (Guither, 1998)
These are especially important considerations as the American population grows older and the Baby Boomer generation continues to join the retired ranks in increasing numbers in the future. Data in Support of Pet Adoptions from Shelters The Humane Society estimates that around 60% of all animals brought to animal shelters are destroyed each year and animal activists continue to search for ways to increase adoption levels (Hasenauer, 1997)
The media, again, bears blame -- they like guns because guns make news sell. So when there is an accidental shooting, it makes the news, and this fuels fear of firearms to an irrational extent (Lott, 2010)
This brings up the question of what the objectives of gun control actually are. We know what the purpose of the NRA's gun lobbying efforts are -- to sell more guns -- but why do government enact gun control? The UK banned handguns in the wake of the Dunblane school shooting (Squires, 2001), indicating that this was a reactive policy based on high public emotion
Yet there is lack of knowledge about this vaccine among majority of parents and some concerns are related to sexual health problems that in their views will emerge as a result of vaccine uptake. It was noted that there is a need to raise awareness about HPV and Gardasil vaccine among general public without attaching it to the cervical cancer (Brabin, Roberts, Farzaneh, & Kitchener, 3087)
There is a synonymy in describing risk related to HPV infection to the communication related to sexual activity and risk related to it among adolescents. Therefore the opposition to mandatory vaccination programs is not surprising (Brown, Little, & Leydon, 224)
An opposing view of this issue is presented by viewing the history of cervical screening. Since the introduction of Pap smears nearly 50 years ago as screening for cervical cancer, the United States rates of cases of cervical cancer and resulting deaths lessened by more than 75% (Castle, 367)
S. Food and Drug Administration licensed in June 2006, prevent infection from four human papillomavirus (HPV) types, two of which case cervical cancer (Cox, Cox, Sturm, & Zimet, 29)
A study conducted in Scotland in 2008 evaluated a cohort of girls eligible for school-based vaccination to determine side effects of the vaccine and the impact on vaccine completion, as well as reasons for non-vaccination. The majority of reasons for non-vaccinaiton were due to non-acceptance and perceived lack of need for the vaccine, and perceived lack of evidence of safety of the vaccine (Ebhohimheh, Hue, Tissington, Oates, & Stark, 2010) These sentiments were echoed to a degree by a study performed in England in 2005, which accessed the approval of parents and the possible uptake of HPV vaccine uptake within eight secondary schools before the certification of the HPV vaccine in said country
It has been stated by experts that vaccines will work effectively if every ones uptakes them; the law of herd immunity states that the possibility of abolition of a disease can be anticipated if majority of the people use vaccine against a certain virus. By giving vaccination to the children before the age of their sexual activation will help to radically reduce the occurrence of as a minimum some damage for the next generation (Gibbs, 2006)
Another view of this issue explains that organized HPV vaccination combined with screening could potentially prevent most cervical cancer. Vaccinations alone will not prevent cervical cancer unless their efficacy is longer than 15-year; if the duration of efficacy is shorter and efficient boostering is not organized, the onset of the cancer in women is merely postponed (Harper, 594)
