The Effects of Urbanization on Wildlife: History, Context, Management and Philosophy of Conservation
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the history, context, management and philosophies behind the problem of urbanization and its impact on wildlife. Urbanization has resulted in a large negative impact on wildlife in addition in regards to the flora and fauna communities. Within the last 300 years in the U.S., deforestation for urban or agricultural use has fragmented wildlife populations through urban sprawl, linear land use (such as roads and power lands) small and large agricultural land plots in addition to the introduction of exotic plants and animals which have an impact on native plants and animals. Agricultural use and urbanization in addition to being the demise of some species also causes the shift in native plants and animals in certain areas; shifts which tend to allow for the proliferation of some species often at the expense of others. Preservation and conservation efforts within the U.S. are primarily the result of the ethics and philosophies as promoted by Aldo Leopold who called for ecological considerations in regards to any urban planning. Preservation methods today focus mainly on restraining urban sprawl through the promotion of inner city renewal, the purchase of undeveloped land for preservation, promotion of mass transit through railways and fewer roads, and set growth boundaries around urban areas.

The Ethics of Euthanasia: Baby Rena
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the case of Baby Rena, whose foster parents insisted on extreme measures to prevent her death even though it was well past time to let her go. Author and theologian Vigen Guroian is highly opposed to euthanasia, though he is not opposed to allowing a person – any person – to die with dignity. For Guroian, dying with dignity does not include pursuing every heroic attempt to apply every known technological tool in seeking to prolong life. Rather, dying with dignity can and often does include being allowed to die from the patient perspective. Though Guroian is vehemently opposed to active euthanasia, he believes that Baby Rena would have been better served had she been allowed to die in peace and with dignity. Bibliography lists 1 source.
