Morphine Persuasive Speech
For those who wish to voice their opinion.
If you are not afflicted with chronic pain, debilitating pain that follows you to bed, occupies your broken sleep and wakes you early, and inhabits your day, continuously… You should not be in the group making the decisions for those who must entertain this madness day-in day-out, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, with no relief in sight. For some, Morphine is not enough, pain pumps fill with synthetics costing in excess of $6000.00 per month can’t relieve the constant sharp, striking pain. When doctors tell you that removing the limbs will not relieve the symptoms and that the phantom pain will persist… Who, not in this position is capable of making the choices? Somethings are best left

    I’m writing you today in support of expanding the needle exchange program in Tennessee. The needle exchange program or syringe exchange program, as you may know, is where injection drug users may turn in their used needles for sterile syringes.This is an attempt to reduce the rate of HIV/AIDS and improve user safety. The hesitation to increase these programs are that it perpetuates drug use; however, this is not the case. If a person is an addict, they will find a way to get to the drug no matter the risks. Those risk can include continuing to use the same needle until it breaks off into their own body or simply sharing in which is how the diseases are spread. In any case, the reduction harm services that could be provided will not reduce…

    Terri Schiavo Case

    Recent cases have drawn attention to the issue of individual autonomy, and what is sometimes referred to as ‘the right to die’. Adult patients who are mentally competent have the right to refuse medical treatment even when that refusal can lead to worsening ill health and even death. This refusal of treatment may only be ignored when statutory law provides for treatment without consent, or a judge makes an order that overrides the patient’s consent. While this is largely accepted when patients are physically and mentally competent, it becomes a complex issue when a person is mentally competent, but due to physical incapacity are in care because they are unable to care for themselves. A person may be mentally competent but due to being a quadriplegic…

    I am enraged that you slaughtered me and my friends. You cannot use your rage caused by one person, Antinous, as a reason to strike hundreds of us down. Before you killed me, I was trying to tell you that the person incited this whole mess was Antinous. After you killed him, there was no need to turn your fury on the rest of us. The worst part is how you did not even intend for us to have means to fight back, your idea was to set us up so you could slaughter and torture us and we would have no means to respond or defend ourselves. In Addition, how could you have killed every single one of us if you have no firsthand account of what happened while you were away, all you knew was what Telemachus told you. You were so naive and enraged that you…

This decision you are hypothetically making stares so many people in the face each day. What would you do if you were told you had only six or less moths to live?

    Opioids such as OxyContin and Vicodin, are the most widespread prescribed painkiller for the treatment of moderate to chronic pain. While opioids are highly effective in masking the pain temporarily, these drugs are highly addictive. Many patients, especially those who take more than the prescribed amount, often develop a dependency on these drugs, resulting in addiction. There is growing evidence that opioid drugs are being widely prescribed and abused, causing an increase in healthcare costs. To help fight the growing dependency and addiction to these drugs, doctors should take more time explaining the many harmful side effects of these drugs to their patients before prescribing them, In addition, doctors should be up front with their patients about the likelihood of developing tolerance to the drugs, which ultimately leads to dependency. Since there is widespread abuse of these drugs, opioid prescriptions should continue…

    assive smoke is when non-smokers are breathing in the smoke that a smoker is smoking. Passive smoking is not good, because non-smokers breathe it in, as well as the smoker, and it is very harmful for the non-smokers as well as the smoker. It is also a huge source of indoor air pollution. Four-fifths of the smoke that builds up in a room with a smoker is the more harmful "sidestream" type. Tobacco smoke has over 4,000 chemical compounds, which includes 40 carcinogenic agents that are cancer-causing. Tobacco smoke also has carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas, that inhibits the transportation of someone's oxygen to their body's vital organs via the blood. Also, the smoke that is emitted from the tip of a cigarette has almost double the concentration…

    There are an alarming number of people that are living in constant, unrelenting, severe and in many cases unnecessary pain. The advances in medicine and technology have been prolonging people’s lives for decades. People with terminal illnesses included. It is imperative that individuals have the ability to peacefully end their lives when faced with a life-ending illness. Legalizing physician assisted suicide gives a person faced with a debilitating terminal illness the right to end their suffering by taking a prescribed lethal dose of medication. We have the right to refuse treatment but without out the right to end our pain, refusing treatment would be extremely painful. This debate has led to Living Wills, Power of Attorneys for Health Care, and Do Not Resuscitate orders.…
