Frozen Bodies and Future Imaginaries: Assisted Dying, Cryonics, and a Good Death
In October of 2018, Norman Hardy became the first individual to be cryopreserved after successful recourse to California's then recently passed End of Life Options Act. This was a right not afforded to Thomas Donaldson, who in 1993 was legally denied the ability to end his own life before a tumor irreversibly destroyed his brain tissue. The cases of Norman Hardy and Thomas Donaldson reflect ethical and moral issues common to the practice of assis…
Third-Person Effects and the Differential Impact in Negative Political Advertising
People often assume that, because of their special knowledge, others will be influenced by mass media messages while they remain relatively untouched. This experiment uses negative political advertisements to find that when subjects saw their own candidates attacked, they reported they were not much influenced, but they said others would be. Conversely, when they saw an attack on a candidate they disliked, they reported themselves to be influence…
Perceived Impact of Defamation: An Experiment on Third-Person Effects
This paper explores the intersection of libel law and communication theory that occurs when libel juries assess the effect of a defamatory communication on others. The third-person hypothesis suggests that people often assume others will be more affected by potentially persuasive communications than they are themselves. An experiment was conducted in which students were exposed to a variety of defamatory newspaper articles. The results confirmed …
Original Sin as the Evil Inclination–A Polemicist's Appreciation of Human Nature
Studies on the essence and development of the concept of original sin abound. Not only has this fundamental tenet of Christian theology played an important role in the history of Western religious thought, but it continues to command the attention of scholars and theologians even today. Given this great interest, one is occasionally surprised at the narrowness of the historical and religious framework to which many have confined their discussions…
The Nasi of Narbonne: A Problem in Medieval Historiography
In his introduction to A Study of History , Toynbee observed that “in modern Western historical research, as in modern Western industry, the quantity and location of raw materials threaten to govern the lives of human beings.” In an inability to manufacture his own sources and yet with a reluctance to overlook any means for brightening an obscure picture of the past, the historian may at times allow insufficient evidence to support interpretation…
