Sometimes you’ve got to have that feeling” (142).

Bateman and Fonagy (2010) state, due to “the high prevalence suicide rate in patients with BPD make an unassailable argument that effective treatment needs to be developed and that treatment has to be widely available” (pp.12). However, due to the complexity of the negative symptoms (i.e. chronic feelings of emptiness, recurrent suicidal behaviors or threats, self-mutilation, dissociative symptoms, fear of abandonment and identity disturbance) for those suffering from BPD, there is no proven therapy to address all of these symptoms effectively. Therefore, by blending Schema Therapy (ST), Mentalization-Focused Therapy (MFT), and psychotropic medication Oxytocin, the clinician can replace maladaptive schemas, allowing for mentalizing to be achieved
Jack Kevorkian was a medical pathologist who willfully assisted in patient suicides, which increased the talk on hospice care and the "right to die" legislative action. Dr. Kevorkian argued for the right of the terminally ill to choose how they die, and he also challenged social taboos about disease and dying. Whether you agree or disagree with what Dr. Kevorkian did, he helped the growth of hospice care in the United States and caused a number of doctors to be more sympathetic to those who were terminally ill and had severe pain, causing them to be more willing to prescribe medication to relieve it. Dr. Kevorkian ignited the discussion about assisted suicide, but there are still many questions that have to be asked about assisted suicide,

Physician assisted suicide is when a physician provides the means required to commit suicide, including prescribing lethal amounts of harmful drugs to a patient. In the United States alone, there is great controversy about physician assisted suicide. The issue is whether physician assisted suicide is murder or an act of sympathy for the patient. The main point is that terminally ill patients should have a right to physician assisted suicide if it meets their needs and is done properly. Physician assisted suicide is an appropriate action for the terminally ill that want to end their life in peace before it ends at the hands of the terminal disease.

I will conclude by summing up all the topics discussed.
Death is a natural process that will be experienced by everyone at some point, desirably at the end of a long, well lived life. The reality is that no one knows when that time will come or how it will happen. Unfortunately, for the terminally ill, death is in the near future and it is a sobering reality. Therefore, when that time comes, people need to know that they will have options, and the assurance that death does not have to be an agonizing end. They can choose to endure the annihilating pain that comes with the disease and allow it to take its natural course or choose to put an end to it, surrounded by those who love them.

In her short story, “Runaway”, Munro explores the psychological transition of the female protagonist, Carla, and investigates the intricate issue of women’s liberation and social reality. This essay discusses how Munro manipulates the focus of narration in order to reveal the mental struggles experienced by showing a complicated runaway experience by a rural Canadian house-wife living an ordinary life. Key Words: Munro; focalization; runaway; characters
