She didn't joke about specific figures, she simply lightened the mood of death as a whole; she made it not so gloomy and depressing. To me, there wasn't a time she left an awful fact about the history of cadavers and their uses with a thought about how awful it was; she always finished a fact with an uplifting statement that
commit suicide. They have already realized that her mental state is deteriorating, so they believe it is in her best interest to do so. Evidently she does not go through with this; they do not find out what she did with the poison until after her death. At first, I didn’t realize the subtle warning signs of the effects of Emily's unstable mental health throughout the story. It was not until I had reread the story that I began to see what was implied. One warning sign was "the smell" that begins

The mummified body of an old man was found walled in a masonry ledge in a silicon-sealed bedroom, in a semi-supine position with the back on the floor and the legs on the wall. Two plastic bags covered the body. Once removed the plastic bags, the body was entirely wrapped in a brown adhesive tape. At the scene, there was no evidence of microfauna.

Whether or not you cease to exist after your earthly death, or whether your body continues on in the “perpetual” afterlife, is a question fiercely contested by many opposing viewpoints.

Princeton, an inmate in one of California’s thirty-three adult facilities dies every five to six days due to “constitutional deficiencies in the medical delivery system” (Qtd. in Plata v. Brown 7). When a prisoner has a serious illness that could cause death if untreated, it is extremely unjust to delay or deny that prisoner the treatment and/or the medication that he or she needs. Not only is refusing to provide proper healthcare to prisoners morally unfair, but it is also a violation of the Eighth Amendment
short story, Granny, the protagonist, is on the verge of death. She doesn’t believe she is dying, but the people surrounding are concerned about her poor health.

rest if the body. It was as almost as the ice truck killer had frozen the body with liquid nitrogen cold as charity cut into equal parts almost as a psychopathic surgeon removing all the limbs and sensory organs, leaving them in a state of living death. The puzzle was tied together with rope almost like your leg of lamb on Christmas day leaving line patterns to the thick human skin. No evidence left behind to track down the cold psycho ice truck killer, as the hunt went on to put this killer down
discuss Sheol and the Temple of Ezekiel’s vision. The question “do all people go to Sheol?” is explored. Contrary to popular thought, Sheol may not be the destination for all who died in early Jewish thought. Rather, Sheol is mentioned whenever the death is unnatural, and the person dies unfulfilled in some way. This is not so different from modern ideas of ghosts and spirits who linger when they die in unnatural ways. A different fate seems to await those who die after full, blessed lives, such as
