When It�s Right to Kill an Infant
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the article titled �A
Bioethical View: When It's Right to Kill an Infant,� by peter Singer, as it appeared in the
April 10, 1999 edition of the New York Times. This article is illustrated as it relates to the
utility theory and the paper argues that, if the logical and scientific reality were such that
we could measure a person�s worth through physical health and conditions, Singer�s

"Am I Thin Enough Yet?"Sharlene Hesse-Biber
[ send me this paper ]
(3 pp) Am I Thin Enough? is the "question" half
of a 1994 book title by Sharlene Hesse-Biber.
The "rest of the story," Hesse-Biber claims, may
be found by looking at The Cult of Thinness and
the Commercialization of Identity. Although she
doesn't directly accuse anyone she feels that
there are societal forces at work, which are
detrimental to women's health. Everyday,
women are given the message that how they look is
more important than how they think.
