\nSuicide  \nGoing back to the days of being an intern,a suicidal client was a counselor intern's worstfear.Every intern knew that at any moment hecould be faced with a client that was going tomake an outcry.That's a lot of responsibility toput on an intern as well as an experiencedcounselor.It is only human to feel the need tooffer one's own feelings to assist in a matter.Just think of all the thoughts and emotions  \ncurrently going through the intern's head.Then,as with the intern,there is the supervisor whomust be alerted.This is a pretty compellingsituation but with proper training and guidance,the intern can survive and go on to become alicensed counselor.  \nSuicidal behaviors,outcries,and ideationsgoes against the basic living organisms drive tolive.Every conscious living organism strives tonourish,reproduce,and exist.At least,that’s  \nwhat Darwin's survival of the fittest promotes.Are these drives biological,cultural,or acombination of both?The age old questionkeeps popping up when attempting to explainbehaviors.\"Nature VS.Nurture\",the humanorganism is born with reflexes that whenstimulated allow it to breath.However,thehuman mind can be shaped or impacted by thecontext of it environmental stimuli.  \nThe American culture generally values theexistence of human life.The famous Dr.JackKevorkian,was a medical doctor who felt it washis ethical obligation to assist his terminally ilpatients with the suicide process.Dr.Kevorkianwas seen by many physicians as practicingagainst the Hippocratic Oath that they aresworn to uphold.After the word got out abouthis practices,the state intervened and arrestedDr.Kevorkian.Following his arrest,he wasfound guilty by the courts and sentence toprison for his practices.That's right,prison,for  \nmerely helping a terminally ill person committhe act of dying sooner than nature warranted.  \nMost American Christian religions  \npronounce the taking of one's life is a sin.Someother country's religions have a differentperspective on the taking of one's life.Forexample,it is known that if a Muslim takes hisown life during a martyring act,then the peopleof that faith tend to praise that act.Muslimbelief argues that a person who commits thisact has seventy-two virgins awaiting him in theafterlife.Beliefs about suicide are differentamong cultures.  \nThe American Medical Association has anoath that all physicians must follow.The mainpoint is to do no harm to patients.This beliefseems sound and concrete until one gains  \nunique experiences.Working in a nursing homeis one that may alter ones view of suicide.Manypatients feel that their mind has greatly outlivedtheir physical body due to modern medicine.One author worked in a 24 hour nursing care  \nfacility.There he met an elderly lady whom hebegan to get to know.One day when thecounselor asked the lady how she was doing,the lady responded with \"I'm just laying herewaiting to die\".The author possessed only anundergraduate degree and little experiencewith anyone who didn't care to live.Thisstunned the author because he ","cbCailhOqx2RxUKl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailhOqx2RxUKl","pdf",2918678,"English","# Chapter 1\n## Prologue\n#
