Legalized Murder or Assisted Suicide: Euthanasia and the Question of Medical Ethics

Medical ethics has been a field and area of interest subject to varying views, ideas and opinions from leading experts over its course of evolution. Ranging from arguing correct legislation of medical procedures that are deemed controversial such as abortion, “mercy killing” –euthanasia- and other such activities in relation to the overall aim of the profession – saving lives while improving quality healthcare delivery, there have been several well-meaning and equally convincing arguments running back and forth between key players;…

Hidden Cool Spots in UI

These are some of the places and just generally things that are not very popular in the University of Ibadan. From restaurants to organizations, and some nice chilling spots. Archives.

Oh, was I satisfied? Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Delicious food? Check. Inexpensive? Check. Hygienic environment?…

THE “101” EXPERIENCE

This isn’t a description of the many troubles we had with 101, from the classes to vision 2020 (how did that pan out?) or the roaring leopard that left us with numb thumbs and result anxiety. Rather, this is more of a day to day experience filled with PDA’s, and the occasional trek to female halls all for love. Ah! Love, one day I’d love to pluck a rose from a garden, not like the Love garden in UI with…

How to get over losing a friend you really cared about (P.S Your friend isn’t dead)

I’m sure we’ve all lost a friend we thought we were close to; I know I have.

Whatever the reason may be,…

A Very Subjective Review of Medical Series

I chose to study Medicine last minute, and just before starting, I wanted to know how it would feel to be a doctor. I had a couple of friends who were medical students already and I still had the contacts of some of the doctors on my multiple trips to the hospital. So, I did the most logical thing I could think of; I watched dozens of episodes of different medical series. And to those who said I wasted my…

Your Dream in a Box

What is your dream? Or more importantly, what was your dream?. That dream that you told adults excitedly as a child but got ashamed to say as you become older. The raw dream that brightened up your childhood and made living every day interesting. Did it change? Why? Did you or others think it was unrealistic or impractical? Did you start and fail? Did you read some statistics and decided to “wake up” from the said dream? This is not…
