The Mortality Doctrine Book Report
The Mortality Doctrine
The book, The Rule Of Thoughts was an amazing book. It was written by one of my favorite authors James Dashner. Dashner grew up in Austell, Georgia where he was one of six children in his family. He later went to Utah for college at Brigham Young University and started writing books that were for young teens. His books typically had the adventure, survival, and science-fiction genres. He then proceeded to write The Maze Runner which was one of his most famous books. So today I am writing about the Mortality Doctrine series. The book is about Michael a teenager who recently discovered that he was not real but was put into the body of Jackson Porter which made him a human. He is then learned that Kaine, a cyber terrorist, is doing what he did to Michael to a bunch of people all around the world. Michael

The main character of the book is Michael. Michael is the main character of this book and he is the best coder out of his friends. Although he is the best coder there is one person that is better than him, Kaine. Michael was a tangent that was transferred into the body of a human named Jackson Porter. Sarah is Michael's best friend that he does everything with in the virtual world. She is the plan maker of the group as Michael's first goal is to find her to come up with a plan on taking down Kaine and helping Jackson Porter.(pg 53) If Michael doesn't have Sarah he has no plan. Bryson is also Michael's best friend. He is under Michael on the line of coding as he is not bad but not the best. Bryson usually is the one that takes one for the team and gets them out of trouble. Kaine is the antagonist in the book as he is killing people and putting tangents into their bodies. He is just a bunch of code which is why he is the best at coding, he is also a tangent like Michael but has been alive a lot longer than him. Those are the four main characters of the

    I can both agree and dissagree with Edward Koch 's opinions in his essay called Death and Justice: How Capital Punishment Affirms Life. Some of the arguments that he has presented seemed valid, however, he didn 't supply enough facts to back up what he was saying for many of his examples. It seemed to me that most of what Edward Koch was saying had more to do with his own opinion on capital punishment than on any type of reasearch he has done on the topic.…

    The general argument made by the author, André da Loba, in his work Expanding the Right to Die, is that ill people should be able to decide to end their own lives and pass up a long and drawn out death. He writes “A 29-year-old woman with terminal brain cancer has announced a campaign to support physician-assisted suicide leading up to her own death next month.” In this passage, the author is suggesting that people should have the right to choose their time of death during life ending conditions. In conclusion, the author’s belief is that people suffering should be allowed to have a physician-assisted suicide. In my view, the author is right because people don’t deserve to suffer.…

    In his essay "The Myth of Immortality," Clarence Darrow explains his belief that life after death is a hoax and backs up his logic with logical reasoning. Darrow finds it hard to believe that life exists after death simply because there are no facts to prove that it exists. He states that "if people really believed in a beautiful, happy, glorious land waiting after death why don't they hasten themselves to it." Darrow also shows his discern in his views for the soul questioning that if we do have a soul, when is it created in the natural process of reproduction? He also questions "If a man has a soul that persists after death, that goes to a heaven of the blessed or to a hell of the damned, where are those places?" Moreover, he goes into detail and explains his reasoning against the resurrection of the body. He states the mere thought of such ideas beggars reason, ignores facts, and enthrones blind faith, wild dreams, hopeless hopes, and cowardly fears as sovereign of the human mind, despite the fact the bible clearly states that Jesus has risen from the dead and ascended into heaven. Darrow moves on into the scientific reasoning stating that people take comfort in the law that matter and force cannot be destroyed, meaning their soul lives on forever. Darrow continues and says that there is no proof that memory and consciousness exists after death. Even more, Darrow continues with his statement "We are assured that without faith, life is only desolation and despair." Or in other words, Darrow says that people "create" a place that exists after death in order to ease the natural fears. In conclusion Darrow states "we should be more kind to each other and make our lives easier for we live a common life and die a common…

    Death is inevitable. No matter how much an individual clings to life hoping and wishing to escape death, death always follows. Yet, in the presence of those who cling to life, there are individuals who accept that death is a part of life. Those individuals realize that from the moment of birth death is inevitable. In light of these two polar responses to death I find it important to try to understand the concept of “good death.” For the purpose of this short essay I will not dive into whether death is good. For now I will only explore the fluidity of “good death” by highlighting specific attitudes that have endured over the past 150 years and offer personal suggests for why I think these attitudes have persisted.…

    There is two theories in this case. They are wrongful birth and wrongful life. The wrongful life theory was dismissed by the courts. I agree with this because how is the court supposed to compensate an individual for non-life? If there is no life, there is nothing to compensate. The other theory was wrongful birth. Even though I personally do not agree with their claims of wrongful birth, I can see the validity in the claim. This is because the doctors failed to do vastly important medical procedures that could have altered this child’s life. Obviously, Sharon having Down syndrome would increase the amount of medical bills she would have. Thus, the family should be compensated for the medical bills that Sharon will incur because of the Down…

    Death is a necessity to culture and society therefore it is irrational to fear the unenviable and the necessary. Death whether physical or non-physical will always cause change. The change that is caused by death does not always have to be direct but can manifest itself as an indirect change. Throughout time societies have risen and fallen, times changes, nothing is ever going to stay the same. Death is a factor that will impact everyone who is alive as they will meet death. As society’s change and cultures evolve so do the people; to keep change occurring death must ensue for creation to occur. Society’s and cultures depend on death.

    The assisted death movement gained traction and popularity in the early 90’s, making the death with dignity laws a fairly new and recent controversial topic. Oregon was the first state whose legislation passed a death with dignity bill and are looked upon for guidance. About 20 years ago in 1997 the Supreme court gave the state lawmakers jurisdiction over the right to assisted deaths in the washington V Glucksberg case. Laws both legalizing and prohibiting Death with dignity were found to be constitutional. Today there are still 0 federal laws for or against death with dignity however, it has been legalized in 6 states, 4 states have no official legislation and in the remaining states assisted death has been ruled illegal. Death With Dignity…

    In regards to death and dying, the United States, historically, has inadequately acknowledged the existence of death, the process of dying, and the appropriate ways in which individuals should and must grieve. The fear of death and loss in the United States is so overpowering, it has permeated into our culture and the language we use surrounding death and dying. Additionally, our tremendous fear has fundamentally shaped how, we as a society, perceive and treat those with terminal illnesses. As a result of our failure to acknowledge the existence of death and the proper methods in which to cope with dying, we have lost sight of what it means for an individual to live the last chapters of their life, not as a gradually decaying vegetable, but with dignity and joy for life and living.…
