Technology and Death Policy: Redefining Term Paper
Pages: 7 (2007 words) · Bibliography Sources: 2 · File: .docx · Topic: Death and Dying (general)
for $19.77
¶ … Technology and death policy: redefining death.
The article has explained the policy issues based upon the nature of death which includes the discussion of the physician-assisted suicide as well as treatment abatement. Such practices have received wide criticism from the public and professional community, which is due to the sensitive nature of the issue. The article has focused upon the conceptual interpretation of the death, with reference to the medical technology, and has refuted the traditional concept of the death i.e. 'irreversible cessation of cardiopulmonary functions', due to the fact that the medical technology has been able to prolong and shorten the human life span. The article has referred to the applicable and possible clinical tests and examination which are carried out to verify and ascertain that whether the person has expired in reality, which has involved the interference of the technological equipments responsible for the extension of the human life. The article has discussed the general confusions and differences experienced during the medical examination i.e. The interference of the medical technology has resulted in the comprehensive study and determination of the fact that whether the body has expired or not, and such practices has influenced the extent of verification and procedural conduct which are generally conducted, solely aimed at the verification of the state of the human body. The influence of the technological equipment has mesmerized the private community, previously the bodies which were considered death solely on the basis of the physical examination are expected to contain life, the spectrum of the human life has explored with the advancement in medical technology. The definition of death has emerged as contentious issue, are the resolution of the differences and claims is not possible on technical justification and interpretation. Previously the human body was regarded as dead body, soon after the 'permanent cessation of respiration and circulation' i.e. The cessation of the heart and lungs, which was responsible for the cessation of the brain functions (Robert, 2001).
Summary: Peter Monaghan article, "The Unsettled Question of Brain Death."
Peter Monaghan has explained his opinion on the dead policy with reference to the standard practices of the developed nations. In developed countries including United States, the collapse of brain is criteria for dead body, irrespective of the fact that the human heart is operational, and the lungs are functional through natural and artificial means. The author has referred to the current practices in North America, where the organs are removed and transferred for the purpose of transplantation from brain-dead body, which is justified as per the requirements and definition of the dead body. The author has explained the difference of policy in North America and Europe, in United States upon the availability of the reasonable certainty that the deceased wished to donate his/her organs, the transplantation of the organs is legitimate, however in Europe without the documented presumed consent, the transplantation of the organs is criminal practice. The author has referred to the book written by Ms Lock, the book is a new Public Anthropology series, and has been designed 'to transform received, accepted understandings of social issues'. The author has explained the observations listed in the literature, and has referred to the practices adopted in different parts of the world. The author has observed in different parts of the world, the brain death was not granted any legal standing although the medical technologies were available, which surely enhanced and influence the life span of the individual, therefore the practice of organ transplant is rare, 'the brain-dead individuals are not considered legally dead unless they have indicated that they want to become organ donors'. The author has revealed that the power disclosure of the medical technologies, and their influence along with the reservations and confusions related to the legal understanding of the brain death made the Americans 'believe that the phenomena is scientifically deducible and verifiable'. The author has supported his claims and observation by referring to the observations marked by Ms. Lock in her article, where she claimed that there is a need to revise the previous conception of death which was purely medical, and the death was considered to be matter of biology, and it is misleading to interpret that the death and its extent are measureable (Peter, 2002).
What is the proper definition of brain death?
According to the President's Commission, the "Uniform Definition of the Death Act" was proposed which was establishment of the standards regarding the definition of the dead. According to the draft of the Act, 'An individual, who has sustained either irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead. A determination of death must be made in accordance with accepted medical standards'. The definition has been approved by the American Bar Association, the American Medical Association, and the Uniform Law Commissioners.
The terminology Brain Death has been an ominous implication, and has been wrongly translated and interpreted which has been responsible for the negative fallout. The Brain death has been explained by the medical professionals as irreversible cessation of all brain activity, i.e. The brain is inactive and can not be reactivated. The determination and the extent of the brain death are based upon the conclusions which are gathered through clinical and laboratory examinations. From clinical perspective, the person is regarded as brain dead, provided that there is no spontaneous respiration, and the individual is not able to breath/respire on his own, the pupils of the individual are dilated and fixed i.e. The eye does not react to the light, and the black of eyes is wide, upon the application of the difference forces there is no evidence of noxious stimulation i.e. any painful stimulation does not provoke the individual to react, there are different manners of reacting i.e. eye blink, grimacing, and movements of any part of the body. From the clinical perspective the brain dead exhibit no signs of brain stem activity i.e. eye balls are fixed, there are no corneal reflexes, no gag reflex or cough reflex and the individual does not response to any caloric testing, such that all the 'extremities are flaccid i.e. there is no movement, no muscle tone and no reflex activity in any of the limbs and/or arms or legs. Such clinical examinations are not the sole authorization on the basis of which the body shall be regarded as clinically dead, the physician has to examine the individual and verify that the patient did not induce any opiate drugs i.e. codeine, demerol, morphine, cocaine, heroin, and barbiturate drugs i.e. phenol-barbital, secobarbital, nembutal, amytal. The brain death is verified by Cerebral angiogram examination, in which dye is injected in the arteries of the neck, the purpose of which is to reflect the arteries on the X-ray films, upon the detection of no penetration of dye into the arteries, the test is the confirmation of the blind dead, another test is also conducted for the purpose of verification which is Cerebral blood flow scan, in which non-hazardous radioactive substance is penetrated through intravenous injection, and the human head is scanned.
The brain death is confirmed provided that the two EEG's acronym of electroencephalograms or brain-wave tests taken at an interval of 24-hour show no traces electrical activity from the brain. The dead brain has never recovered, however the heart, lungs and kidneys are functional through artificial techniques for longer period of time i.e. two-three weeks (Robert, 2001).
The brain dead has always been a controversial subject, the dead has been explained as the permanent cessation of respiration and circulation. The failure of the cardio-respiratory function is responsible for the permanent collapse of the brain functions. However the medical equipment has been able to generate controversies with reference to the conventional notion of the death. The controversies were eliminated soon after the conclusion of the U.S. President's Commission were publicized in 1981, as per which 'in light of ever increasing powers of biomedical science and practice, a statute is needed to provide a clear and socially-accepted basis for making definition of death', therefore the death was to be confirmed on the basis of the 'direct cessation of brain function rather than to the indirect cessation after shutdown of the heart and lungs', which was because the failure of brain is irreparable and neurons are impossible to be re-generated, developed or replaced (Robert, 2001).
Policy defining PVS patients as brain dead: Difficulties
The medical knowledge has ignored the continuity of the treatment process of the patients under persistent vegetative state regarded as alive, the patients under such state can recover through series of treatment, however upon the failure and complete damage of cortex, the 'capacity for consciousness is irreversibly lost' (Peter, 2002). However if the brain stem is operational, the patient shall not be assumed dead rather shall be regarded as cortically dead. The cortically dead can never be retrieved from unconscious state; therefore the body is dead however the brain is still… [END OF PREVIEW]

I'm fascinated by Yelp. Sure, a dark part of me loves the drama, but I'm most taken by business owners being so terrified of the platform. Especially when there are so many well-documented benefits to being active on Yelp:
- Customer intelligence
- SEO benefit
- Higher star ratings have a direct impact on revenue
And yet, the mere idea of a handful of customers leaving negative reviews is enough to stay clear of the site.I wanted to find out who was right, marketers or the business owners, so I started testing assumptions.
Question 1: "Are business active on Yelp?"
At Kasasa, I service community banks and credit unions. To answer my question I looked at 100 reviews on 20 institutions (10 banks / 10 credit unions) across 9 communities.
Only 1 institution had claimed their Yelp page. If you think this sounds bad, it's actually pretty accurate across verticals. According to Yelp's 2014 investment deck, there are 6.6 million businesses listed. Only 80,000 of them had claimed their page and were active. 1.2%
Result: Assumption confirmed. It seems that those fears (plus resource and know-how restrictions) are enough to stop businesses from getting on.
Question 2: "Are business owner's fears valid?"
When I worked at Main Street Hub, we would field thousands of reviews every day. I asked our data scientist for a distribution of star ratings for the past year.
This looks a lot like what Yelp publishes as their rating distribution.
In both samples, ~68% of the reviews were 4 or 5-star.
Result: No. Yelp is a pretty positive place. Faith in humanity has been restored.
Question 3: Can you do anything about those negative reviews?
Going back to the banking survey, there were three major areas of complaint; the service, the products (loans), and the branch (hours, location, cleanliness).
What did most people complain about?
90% of the negative reviews were focused on service. What's more, in 27% of those reviews, the reviewer mentioned an employee by name. Someone specific ruined the experience.
That's hugely important for several reasons.
- If you notice a trend, you can coach and develop specific employees.
- You can reach out and apologize, or better yet, have the specific employee apologize for the mistake. You have the chance to make the situation right.
- If the reviewer left the full name of the employee, it actually violates Yelp's reviewer guidelines and the review can be flagged for removal.
Don't think apologies matter?
I believe you should respond to 100% of reviews, and I'm not the only one.
- You are being given the chance to right a wrong.
- You're replying not just for the reviewer, but the prospective customers who are looking for active business owners. (According to Everyone's a Critic, 70% of customers check reviews prior to purchase)
- Customer centricity has been linked to profitability, and building a company culture around reviewing and acting on reviews helps ensure this centricity
Okay, but do customers really care about responses? I looked into it. This data was pulled from some fellow community managers at Main Street Hub on which of their responses received follow-up responses from the reviewer.
64% of replies to 5-star reviews received a customer follow-up.
14% of 4-star
9% of 3-star
10% of 2-star
4% of 1-star
Results: Okay, so my assumptions here were a little wrong. It seems like if people are pissed, then you only have a 4% chance of writing them and getting a response. However, if a customer is happy, you have a 64% chance of getting one. Consider the potential for encouraging a follow-up visit or a referral.
The Tactics
Since these reply statistics were aggregated from different community managers, I wanted to do a qualitative examination of what tactics seemed to crop up and contribute to getting a successful reply. Here are some commonalities:
- Everyone used some visual element to separate the question from the body (colon, line break, double dash, ellipses)
- 1-star reviews that received responses always had "sorry" or an apology in the opening sentence.
- End your response with a yes-or-no question:
- Was this your first time dining with us?
- Do you happen to recall the date of your visit?
- Did anything catch your eye for next time?
- Do you have a favorite dish at our place?
- Be human, reply with a casual tone and sincerity.
- Bring extra attention to the question in the signature. "Hope to hear back," "Eager to hear more."
- Be concise. 3 sentences or under.
Go forth and prosper
Yelp is a happy place, and hopefully this study and these tactics give you the confidence to claim your page and begin responding. Have a tactic you use for Yelp? Let me know in the comments!

We had a long stopover in Doha and decided to remain at the Sheraton following the recommendation of hotels new york city united states a good friend. The 'couvert' symbols, from 1 to 5 crossed forks and spoons, indicate the level of consolation of the establishment: the standard of the quilt (crockery, cutlery and so on), the dimensions of the room, the service (high quality and dimension of the workforce) and so on.
Proper after I cleared immigration and earlier than I might get my luggage, I obtained a call from the hotels new york city united states lodge asking me if I was ok, and the place I was, as their driver was ready to select me up. (Mexican Immigration had truly been relatively environment friendly, and I was only about quarter-hour previous my scheduled pickup at that time).
The Tornivoukas household of Tor Resort Group- identified also for the Eagles Palace in Ouranoupolis, Halkidiki and the City Lodge in Thessaloniki – owned the famend hotels new york city united states Meditéranée Palace Hotel of Thessaloniki (1925-1978), being one of many first true luxurious hotels in Northern Greece and within the country.
In that case, you might wish to spend extra cash on the next-star resort that's in a downtown location, hotels new york city united states simply accessible to the areas you need to be. (Word that resorts downtown might have a higher star ranking merely because of a good location.) Throughout my tours, I realized that the higher-class Wyndham caters to enterprise travelers, significantly feminine executives.
Whereas within the U.S. a 5-star lodge will offer turndown service and personalised wake-up calls, and feature luxurious rooms and sophisticated surroundings, in lots hotels new york city united states of European international locations a 5-star resort room must embrace a personalised greeting with flowers or a present and a one-hour ironing service.
On the apple trip books they gave our resort a 5 and a half star and on funjet they gave a four star. From hotels new york city united states what I've read concerning the food, service, high-shelf liqour, activities and location it sounds perfect for us. I used to be simply wondering how it will be totally different from the other resorts considered to be 5 star.
A 4-star lodge within the centre of London might carry the next star score than a 2- or three-star hotel in close by Studying, but there's a good likelihood the rooms can be roughly hotels new york city united states the identical measurement. Aspect Observe: The Hotelstars Union in Europe is at the moment an effort to harmonise the lodge star scores.
Characterized by luxurious appointments, high-class service, epitome of comfort, 5 Star inns present originality in structure and the interior design the place utmost care is taken hotels new york city united states to use only the best-grade material in construction and décor. Most travelers and even professionals consider that no lodge score system on earth provides a ranking increased than 5 stars.
All are the results of ground breaking designs and world beating luxury I'm sure however whenever you try and 'out do' your competition by creating your personal star or grading hotels new york city united states score it looks as if they are attempting too arduous. The Burj Al Arab has attracted criticism in addition to praise, these are a number of the criticisms; each the lodge and the city, in any case, are monuments to the triumph of money over practicality.
Again; as with what issues in five star resorts, the reply could be very easy; quality, service and consistency. hotels new york city united states With out glorious, skilled and properly hotels new york city united states educated workers you'll by no means preserve five star standards. Achieving nice service consistency WILL make your hotel great; not perhaps or may; this is assured.

Austria 2018
The Waltz of Waldheim poses the question whether a fascist threat suppressed and unexamined on a national scale has ever really been defeated.
In The Waltz of Waldheim, which had its world premiere at the Berlinale, Austrian-Jewish documentarian Ruth Beckermann probes her country's unhealthy relationship with its past as manifested in the scandal that arose around former UN Secretary-General and presidential candidate Kurt Waldheim in 1985. Though he had been a prominent politician and diplomat for decades, his wartime service in a Wehrmacht unit from 1942 to 1945, responsible for the killings of partisans in Yugoslavia and deportation of Jews from Greece, only then came to light. Accusations of an intentional cover-up circulated, while protesters insisted they did not want to be lead by a "memory lapse" – referring to the collective war memories of the political leadership. Steadfastly denying any wrongdoing, Waldheim won the presidency anyway, aided by a nationalist backlash. More than thirty years on from the Waldheim Affair, as the far right surges in popularity in Austria again, The Waltz of Waldheim asks if a fascist threat suppressed but unexamined on a national scale has ever really been defeated.
That the Axis Powers lost World War II is clear. More contentious has been determining the exact degree of moral complicity in the Nazi regime's atrocities of each of the millions of citizens who had registered as party members. Austria – greeting their annexation just before the war to form a larger German Reich with what some have deemed initial enthusiasm – has shown a markedly different attitude than Germany in reconciling this shameful period. Preferring instead to proclaim innocence as Hitler's first victims rather than accepting collective guilt.
«Whether silent presence without resistance amounts to complicity is of course key to any judgement of Waldheim.»
Beckermann, whose parents were Holocaust survivors, has often explored stories of loss, fragmented identity and the reconstruction of memory in work grappling with the dark legacy of wartime Europe. Her prior feature The Dreamed Ones (2016) summoned up the powerful emotions of faltering love between key German-language poets and lovers Ingeborg Bachmann (whose father was a card-carrying Nazi) and Paul Celan (whose Jewish parents died in an internment camp). The Waltz of Waldheim, in its belief in the inescapability of the past, revisits similar terrain. However, in its concern with evidentially bearing witness to facts, it is less poetically experimental than The Dreamed Ones and more closely aligned in form with the director's 1996 documentary East of War. Beckermann made the documentary during a controversial series of German exhibitions that challenged the prevailing myth of the «Clean Wehrmacht» – the lie that they were innocent of Nazi crimes. She interviewed former soldiers in front of the exhibits, who spoke of what they had experienced beyond "normal" war.
Silence as acceptance
As well as bearing witness, The Waltz of Waldheim touches on thorny quandaries about the nature of image-making and identity. Archival pictures of the persecution and deportation of Thessaloniki Jews clearly trouble Beckermann, who questions the ethics of the photographer who took them without intervening and was subsequently praised for them. The notion that recording images of atrocities and actively resisting the wrongdoing in the moment are mutually exclusive has long troubled war reporters and their critics. Beckermann casts doubt through her own self-consciously musing narration on cinema's efficacy as a form of activism.
Whether silent presence without resistance amounts to complicity is of course key to any judgement of Waldheim – if we accept an international tribunal's finding that there was no conclusive evidence of active war crime participation. He claimed to have been just an interpreter and a clerk; a desk-bound type who did not know of the horrors ordered by superiors to whom he bore no special allegiance. This, despite his serving as personal aide to convicted war criminal Alexander Löhr, and despite a large percentage of a nearby settlement having disappeared in deportations from Thessaloniki's port right under his nose. Even this degree of involvement he admitted only after photographs and other evidence gathered by the World Jewish Congress proved he'd ever been there at all. He had initially falsely asserted that after being drafted, his military career had quickly ended in 1942 when he was wounded at the Russian front. The absurdity of his denials were to such a scale that it had even been claimed that in his time with the SA mounted corps, only his horse had been a member of the organisation.
The committee appointed to investigate his wartime activities did find Waldheim guilty of lying about his past and his knowledge of war crimes, prompting international isolation throughout his presidency. For his part, Waldheim tries to evade responsibility by asserting an equivalency between Holocaust victims and Austrian army lives lost, claiming everyone suffered and did what they could in «those hard times».
While Beckermann keeps to a clear chronology limited to the months of his 1986 presidential bid, there is contextual insight aplenty in footage of Waldheim with his family as they ardently assist him in promoting his supposed «Christian values», This sheds light on the wider context of a society with a dangerous antipathy to plurality. Indeed, one phrase we hear at a gathering tells us everything we need to know about how deep-rooted anti-Semitic prejudice may be: «He isn't the devil – he's Catholic.» Perhaps the strongest sequence of all is Waldheim's adult son, Gerhard, attempting to defend his father's reputation to the tribunal by repeating his same non-credible excuses; flimsy assertions easily pulled apart by his questioner. Waldheim's lack of remorse or genuine self-reflection is clearly a model for his son – and as the timing of Beckermann's film would suggest, for the generation of right-wing politicians with large ambitions and conveniently short memories that have risen in Austria after him.

- 700g potatoes - skin left on
- 6 cloves of garlic - peeled and halved
- Seal salt
- Freshly milled black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 45 mins
Heat oven to 200°C, 180°C fan, 400F, gas mark 6.
Wash and dry the potatoes and if large, cut into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. I like to use small potatoes and leave them whole. Place potatoes and garlic on a large baking tray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the olive oil and coat well. Roast for around 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the rosemary, and give them a good mix round. Continue roasting for a further 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a serving plate and serve.

Mortgage Interest Rates are Still Going Up… Should You Wait to Buy?
Mortgage Interest Rates are Still Going Up… Should You Wait to Buy?
Mortgage interest rates, as reported by Freddie Mac, have increased by close to a quarter of a percent over the last several weeks. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and the National Association of Realtors are all calling for mortgage rates to rise another quarter of a percent by next year.
In addition to the predictions from the four major reporting agencies mentioned above, the Federal Open Market Committee recently voted "unanimously to approve a 1/4 percentage point increase in the primary credit rate to 2.75 percent." Historically, an increase in the primary credit rate has translated to an overall jump in mortgage interest rates as well.
This has caused some purchasers to lament the fact that they may no longer be able to get a rate below 4%. However, we must realize that current rates are still at historic lows.
Here is a chart showing the average mortgage interest rates over the last several decades:
Bottom Line
Though you may have missed the lowest mortgage rate ever offered, you can still get a better interest rate than your older brother or sister did ten years ago, a lower rate than your parents did twenty years ago, and a better rate than your grandparents did forty years ago.

What Is Telemedicine?
If you like the idea of seeing your health care provider over a video conference on your laptop or smartphone, you are not alone. According to research by Software Advice, 75 percent of survey respondents are interested in trying telemedicine. Telemedicine has been used in a limited way for decades, but it is only now becoming more mainstream. This is because so many people have access to high-speed internet connections and the devices necessary to perform a video visit. The approach is popular with patients due to its many advantages. Here are a few:
Convenience —Visits can be performed from the comfort of your own home.
Access —Telemedicine provides greater availability for patients who might not otherwise be able to travel to our location to have access to one of our clinicians.
Quality —Greater access to your provider means more time spent on your care.
Telehealth is currently only available to patients in the D.C., Virginia, and Maryland area.
When Can Video Visits Replace In-Office Visits?
Medical Nutrition Management
Many of the services provided by a registered dietitian can be performed in a telemedicine visit. Follow-Up: Providers often recommend a follow-up visit after beginning a course of treatment. These visits are important to the ultimate resolution or management of the problem. Doing them remotely makes it easier for you to follow your health care provider's recommendations.
Medication Management
Patients who are on a medication for a long time may enjoy the convenience of video visits for medication management.
Reviewing Test Results
A video visit is an excellent way for a provider to discuss laboratory or radiology results without requiring the patient to trek into the office.
Lifestyle Coaching
People working to lose weight or quit smoking can benefit from regular video coaching and treatment plan management.
However, there are still some types of visits that require an in-office appointment. These include:
- Urgent or sick visits
- Follow-up visits that require a physical examination
- Annual physical/wellness exams
Your clinician will help determine which type of visit is best for you.
Will My Insurance Cover Telemedicine?
Many state legislators recognize the advantages of telemedicine for patients and the health care system as a whole. In fact, 30 states, including Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, have passed laws requiring private insurance companies to reimburse providers for video visits. Many insurance companies also see the value of telehealth and pay for video visits even when they are not required to by law. Just like a regular office visit, you may be required to pay a co-pay for your video visit. We will help you determine if your policy will cover telemedicine. If you have an insurance that does not cover telemedicine, you have the option to pay out of pocket if you would like to use the service.
Medicare has a telemedicine coverage approach that is intentionally limited in scope. Its goal is to make sure that patients in remote and rural areas have access to a specialist that may not be available nearby. Therefore, patients must live in what is known as a Health Professional Shortage Area that is outside a metropolitan area.
For patients with Medicaid or a Medicaid HMO, there are also limitations based on access and individual plans. Certain kinds of visits are covered by certain carriers under specific circumstances, and these vary. We will help you determine if your specific plan will cover telemedicine visits.
Privacy and Security
You have every right to be concerned about the privacy and security of your confidential medical information. While today's digital world offers a lot of convenience, there are risks. Our telemedicine platform (Chiron Health) has been designed specifically to protect your patient information and meet the strict standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, known as HIPAA for short.
How To Schedule a Telemedicine Visit
Scheduling a telemedicine visit with our practice works the same way as scheduling an in-office visit. Simply call our office at 202-527-7500 and speak to our front desk staff.
If your clinician feels your care necessitates an in-office visit, we will communicate that to you.
Why Choose Telemedicine?
No transportation time or costs: When you see your health care provider on your mobile device or computer, you can save money on gas, parking, and public transportation. Even better, you don't waste time traveling or risk running into a traffic jam that makes you late for your appointment, or worse, late getting back to work.
No need to take time off work: Speaking of work, video visits largely remove the need to take time off. You can be anywhere that offers sufficient privacy and a secure internet connection. You can comply with your health care provider's follow-up instructions and maintain your health without missing a day of work or wasting your precious paid time off.
Eliminate child or elder care issues: Many of us have the responsibility for caring for children or older adults. Finding alternative care so that you can see a health care provider can be difficult and expensive. Bringing them along can be stressful or impractical. Fortunately, telemedicine solves this challenge by allowing you to see your health care provider while upholding your family responsibilities.
