14). The Secrets of Healing From Within By : Dr. Brenda Shoshanna
Modern medicine is based upon the notion of battle. We battle germs and fight for life.

17). Gay Cowboys � And Other Hollywood Philosophies By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
The whole country is talking about the film Brokeback Mountain and it has created no small stir.

None of us know what we would choose at the end of our life regarding assisted suicide.

Auschwitz was the most notorious of the Nazi labor camps in WWII. There, a man or woman could expect at any moment to be sent to the gas chambers, used for medical experiments or given a phenol injection to the heart which would cause death in 15 seconds.

I remember wondering what this infant's mother looked like and who was the father.
