Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Brunswick is brain dead - A coma around the corner. This book narrates the story of a charade, that of the three castes that have ruled the province for decades: The "Anglophone caste", the "Francophone caste" and the "oligarch caste". They have hijacked the province, and a small group of minority, invisible forces, and shadowy cross-cutting networks are working for either the right or the left in power. They are working for their dreams and ambitions. They don't like to work for the poor, but for the rich. They are not in touch with the people and don't care to know them because their interests come first. They are stuck in antiquated ways of thinking and values. They are technocrats with "Lilliputian" thinking. This falsehood is also typical of most of our failed political elites and most of our Acadian elites who have betrayed our language and our identity. Our elites only talk about political correctness. They are afraid to pronounce words that have meaning, and they spend their time beating around the bush. New Brunswick is a big sick body with not a single part working properly. All parts of society are in tatters: the health care system does not work as it should, the economy is always flat, purchasing power is never up to par, inequalities keep growing between rich and poor, there is an environmental crisis, mass unemployment, immigration etc. Citizens' distrust of our institutions and the system of governance says a lot about the real state of the province. The province needs to be redesigned to move in a new consensual and acceptable direction. The people, whether rural or urban, must tell us what they want from their state. We need meaningful dialogue: at the regional, territorial, and provincial levels. We need a new way of living together, which means a new social contract. We need to reach out to citizens and ask them the real questions that make them angry, etc., and find out what kind of society they want for themselves. We need to restore equity in our territories, allow everyone to live where they want, offer optical fiber coverage for all, provide healthcare services for all in the province. Redistribute jobs and spread them throughout the province, and this is how we will create the wealth that will ensure the growth of our Nation.

This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William LaFleur (1936-2010), an eminent scholar of Japanese studies, left behind a substantial number of influential publications, as well as several unpublished works. The most significant of these examines debates concerning the practice of organ transplantation in Japan and the United States, and is published here for the first time. This provocative book challenges the North American medical and bioethical consensus that considers the transplantation of organs from brain dead donors as an unalloyed good. It joins a growing chorus of voices that question the assumption that brain death can be equated facilely with death. It provides a deep investigation of debates in Japan, introducing numerous Japanese bioethicists whose work has never been treated in English. It also provides a history of similar debates in the United States, problematizing the commonly held view that the American public was quick and eager to accept the redefinition of death. A work of intellectual and social history, this book also directly engages with questions that grow ever more relevant as the technologies we develop to extend life continue to advance. While the benefits of these technologies are obvious, their costs are often more difficult to articulate. Calling attention to the risks associated with our current biotech trajectory, LaFleur stakes out a highly original position that does not fall neatly onto either side of contemporary US ideological divides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two volumes of Death, Dying, and the Ending of Life present the core of recent philosophical work on end-of-life issues. Volume I examines issues in death and consent: the nature of death, brain death and the uses of the dead and decision-making at the end of life, including the use of advance directives and decision-making about the continuation, discontinuation, or futility of treatment for competent and incompetent patients and children. Volume II, on justice and hastening death, examines whether there is a difference between killing and letting die, issues about physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia and questions about distributive justice and decisions about life and death.

Book excerpt: Death is inevitable, but our perspectives about death and dying are socially constructed. This updated third edition takes us through the maze of issues, both social and personal, which surround death and dying in Canada. Topics include euthanasia and medically assisted death, palliative care and hospices, the high incidence of opioid deaths, the impact of cyber bullying in suicide deaths, the sociology of hiv/aids, funeral and burial practices, the high rates of suicide in Canada and dealing with grief and bereavement, among others. Additionally, Auger explores alternative methods for helping dying persons and their loved ones deal with death in a holistic, patient-centred way. Each chapter includes suggested readings, discussion questions and in-class assignments.

Book excerpt: "This is a singular reference tool . . . essential for academic libraries." --Reference & User Services Quarterly "Students, professionals, and scholars in the social sciences and health professions are fortunate to have the ′unwieldy corpus of knowledge and literature′ on death studies organized and integrated. Highly recommended for all collections." --CHOICE "Excellent and highly recommended." --BOOKLIST "Well researched with lengthy bibliographies . . . The index is rich with See and See Also references . . . Its multidisciplinary nature makes it an excellent addition to academic collections." --LIBRARY JOURNAL "Researchers and students in many social sciences and humanities disciplines, the health and legal professions, and mortuary science will find the Handbook of Death and Dying valuable. Lay readers will also appreciate the Handbook′s wide-ranging coverage of death-related topics. Recommended for academic, health sciences, and large public libraries." --E-STREAMS Dying is a social as well as physiological phenomenon. Each society characterizes and, consequently, treats death and dying in its own individual ways—ways that differ markedly. These particular patterns of death and dying engender modal cultural responses, and such institutionalized behavior has familiar, economical, educational, religious, and political implications. The Handbook of Death and Dying takes stock of the vast literature in the field of thanatology, arranging and synthesizing what has been an unwieldy body of knowledge into a concise, yet comprehensive reference work. This two-volume handbook will provide direction and momentum to the study of death-related behavior for many years to come.

This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring notions of the person through a wide range of anthropological literature, Cathrine Degnen analyses how personhood is built, affirmed, and maintained during various life stages and via multiple cultural forms and practices. In discussing the life course, she investigates personhood as a concept at the beginning of life, throughout life as lived, at the edges of being, and ultimately at life’s end. Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Personhood and the Life Course moves beyond the human person in isolation to consider how personhood is fashioned with regard to place and how non-humans can also be recognised as persons. Through multiple ethnographic accounts, Degnen shows that personhood emerges as a relational and processual entity, brought into being via reciprocal fields of social relations.
