Cyborg or Quality of Life?
[ send me this essay ]
A 13 page paper discussing where IT should go in supporting "bionics" research. Biomedical and biomechanical research is totally dependent on the availability of high-volume and high-dependability computing systems. The fears of creating a cyborg are ill founded. Though they make great entertainment and provide many ideas for philosophical exercise, they cannot overcome the laws of physics on which reality is based. The benefits of biomedical enhancement are clear, however. They have the ability not only to improve afflicted individuals' quality of life in practical terms, but also to carry positive effect in sociological realms. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

David Morris/Postmodern Illness
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the principal thesis in Morris's What is Postmodern Illness? In this text, Morris addresses the topic of disease from the standpoint of how specific illnesses have interacted with culture, embedding themselves into the fabric of a society. As Morris points out, it is a "curious fact that almost every era seems marked by a distinctive illness that defines or deeply influences it" (Morris 50). In the sections leading up to his discussion of what constitutes a defining illness for the postmodern era, Morris explores how "Plague, melancholy, gout, syphilis, tuberculosis and cancer" influenced special eras in history (Morris 56). The writer discusses Morris's take on the bubonic plague, tuberculosis and AIDS. No additional sources cited.

Dealing with the Uninsured
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing the operation of New York's Metropolitan Hospital Center, a public hospital part of the health care network of New York City, and the growing numbers of uninsured patients it serves. As a public hospital, it is not dependent only on payment for services for revenue, but it also does not have unlimited funds available to it. The paper suggests that the hospital offer a permanent "health fair" area in which it can offer health screenings at minimal charge to those who have no other access to health care. Individuals can monitor their own cholesterol, blood sugar (nondiabetics, of course) and other factors that doctors monitor for others. The hospital can provide health promotion services, increase its service to the community and readily identify those with serious needs that the city needs to support in treatment. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
