For the 20’s peeps..

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

by Jason Ryan Dorsey..n I quote part of his article:

Great expectations, instant gratification

Many Twentysomethings have grown up always getting what they want. They got the clothes they want. They got the car they want. They begged for better grades and got those, too. And they’re used to getting what they want immediately and on their own terms. They expect to walk into a coffee shop and get their triple-cream-mocha-latte with sprinkles made just for them, with their name written in bold green marker on the side of the cup to prove it. They also get their favorite DVDs delivered directly to their home, their emails forwarded to their phone, and up-to-the-minute weather bulletins displayed on their computer screen. They even have the option to get fresh groceries delivered, but they won’t because they can’t cook unless Mom helps.

In addition to being raised on instant everything, these consistently head-over-heels-in-love and heartbroken Twentysomethings have huge expectations. The real world hasn’t always gone the way they wanted — instead of making CEO in a year they make 4,000 copies in a day — but they use their 12 credit cards to fill the self-esteem gap. After all, who needs to buy a red 3 Series BMW with chrome rims when you can lease it?

The one area in particular where these frustrated Twentysomethings have not yielded their expectations is meeting that special someone, falling passionately in love, and spending a lifetime traveling the world while their kid’s diapers are changed by a nanny (okay, so maybe that’s my dream).

Now add to this mix of high expectations and instant gratification the reality that many Twentysomethings grew up spending little quality time with their parents. Instead, they learned how to have a healthy adult relationship watching a combination of He-Man and HBO. Luckily, their parents have a chance to make up for lost time, since these Twentysomethings still live with them. But mooching off Mom and Dad can only last so long, 35 at the max, which adds to the motivation to find that special someone who knows how to wash underwear without turning it pink. All of which leads back to them rushing into love on the first date and saying so on the third. And why not share the L word while you are in line for lunch at an all-you-can eat $6.99 Chinese buffet? Is anywhere else truly more romantic?…

now i understand y chomel said.."takmo laju2 shaz..nnti accident"..

Euthanasia-a history of a problem

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Hmm..started our Bioethics class last week, hmm contrary to da old beliefs-I find tis subject very interesting..n da fact da Mikail (our teacher) is so damn handsome-dont think am gonna miss any of his classes;p well last week he gave us an assignment BUT we have to talk bout it in da context of Islam n Msian Law..so i picked tis topic-Euthanasia-a history of a problem..n my case reff was on Terri Schiavo n to Chip, dont bother about plagiarism laa..he didn’t even bother to look at da hard copy. He wuz only interested in the Oral presentation n my understanding bout da topic-n da discussion later after dat..I would say wuz "educating".

Ok..here, I would like to put some bits of my presentation yesterday:

"I will give no deadly medicine to any of asked, nor suggest any such counsel"..Hippocratic Oath.

Definition

Euthanasia is alwiz associated wit Assisted suicide..so definition of each:

Euthanasia-when the death of da pt is caused by da 3rd party intentionally eg: giving lethal injection or covering pt’s head with a plastic bag to suffocate him/her.

Assisted Suicide on the other hand is when da pt himself performs the last act eg: swallowing an overdose of drugs provided by da doc.

Note: so far Oregon,Netherlands n Belgium are the only countries dat permits these kind of doings..either one or both of it.

International Perspectives 

Well, the World Medical Assoc stated dat physician associated suicide is unethical n must be condemned by med profession. However,after da pt opt to sign the DnR form to decline any form of treatment..it is not unethical if such wish results in his/her death. No one needs to be hooked up to a machine against their will rite?-It’s CRUEL n In INHUMANE.

Islamic views:

The Qur’an says: "Do not kill (or destroy) yourselves, for verily Allah has been to you most Merciful" (Qur’an 4:29). To warn against suicide prophet Mohammad said: "Whoever kills himself with an iron instrument will be carrying it forever in hell. Whoever takes poison and kills himself will forever keep sipping that poison in hell. Whoever jumps off a mountain and kills himself will forever keep falling down in the depths of hell."

Attempting to kill oneself is a crime in Islam as well as a grave sin because we did not create ourselves so we dont own our bodies to do such things.

According to Shari’a Law: 

The concept of a life not worthy of living does not exist in Islam. Justification of taking life to escape suffering is not acceptable in Islam.

During one of the military campaigns one of the Muslims was killed and the companions of the prophet kept praising his gallantry and efficiency in fighting, but, to their surprise, the Prophet commented, "His lot is hell." Upon inquiry, the companions found out that the man had been seriously injured so he supported the handle of his sword on the ground and plunged his chest onto its tip, committing suicide.

There is another dimension to the question of pain and suffering. Patience and endurance are highly regarded and highly rewarded values in Islam. "Those who patiently preserve will truly receive a reward without measure" (Qur’an 39:10). Prophet Mohammad taught "When the believer is afflicted with pain, even that of a prick of a thorn or more, God forgives his sins, and his wrongdoings are discarded as a tree sheds off its leaves." ..but obviously tis make no sense to an atheis..

The Islamic Code of Medical Ethics (Islamic Organization of Medical Sciences, Kuwait, 1981, p.65)

"Mercy killing, like suicide, finds no support except in the atheistic way of thinking that believes that our life on this earth is followed by void. The claim of killing for painful hopeless illness is also refuted, for there is no human pain that cannot be largely conquered by medication or by suitable neurosurgery…".

The Dilemma 

Arises when the dose of the pain killer necessary to alleviate pain approximates or overlaps with the lethal dose that might bring about the patient’s death. From a religious point of view the critical issue is the doctor’s intention: is it to kill or to alleviate? Intention is beyond verification by the law but according to Islam it cannot escape the ever watchful eye of God Who according to the Qur’an "knows the treachery of the eyes, and all that hearts conceal" (Quran 40:19). Sins that do not full fill the criteria of a legal crime are beyond the domain of the judge but remain answerable to God.

Conclusion: Seeking of medical treatment for illness is mandatory in Islam, our prophet once said "Seek treatment, subjects of God, for to every illness God has made a cure", and "Your body has a right on you."..

At the end of my presentation Mikail asked me Jackpot Q.."lets say we put aside the religion aspect..would u do it?.." erk..I said I would..n I dont think dat would make a bad doc..?! like wat Chase from House.MD said "if da pt wants to die..y should we stand is his way..?"..erk wat do u guys think? fwens?!
