Vaccination Immunization should be mandatory at birth because early immunization protects the population from pandemic disease; therefore the AMA should require infants to be inoculated at birth. Immunizations were first given in the year of 1948. Edward Jenner is considered the first founder of the Vaccinology in the year of 1796.

In “Active and Passive Euthanasia,” author James Rachels argues that active euthanasia is no worse than passive euthanasia and that the American Medical Association (AMA) policy supporting the conventional doctrine is incorrect. He defines both active and passive euthanasia.
