How and why has medicine usurped legal and religious institutions when it comes to defining norms/deviance?

Social Studies

Answer:

Explanation:

Get in touch with your local Jehovah's Witness branch. They can give you an earful on this subject.

They have religious reasons for objecting to transfusions. When it comes to children, the courts have overruled them saying that the welfare of the child is more important than any medical objection or argument that the witnesses may have.

People with Leukemia at some point in course of their disease, may need a transfusion. Nothing else will do. The cells in blood fight foreign antibodies and transport oxygen to organs that need it. If a patient's own blood can't do it, then a transfusion becomes necessary.

The courts have a right to dictate terms when children are involved. The courts do not have the same right with adults. If an adult chooses to end the suffering,  they have that right. There even comes a point (in Canada at least) where death is an option. But an individual patient must give knowledgeable consent to taking his own life.

So medicine has a say in some things and not in others. In the United States, the population has not given up on the rights of the 1st amendment. And medicine can override even those rights.

When consumers swipe a card, either debit or credit, to make a transaction with a merchant, the merchant pays an interchange fee
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The three primary stakeholders are the banks, the merchants, and the consumers.

Banks = Against, since this would mean that they will be receiving less

Merchants = For, since they would be paying less

Consumers = Generally unaffected. But I believe they would be more against the proposal because if interchange fees are capped, then the banks will find other ways to retrieve the lost revenues by other means, such as increasing the interest or etc.

When a mass of cold air collides with a mass of warm air, what happens?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: They push against each other along a line called a front. When a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, the warm air rises since it is lighter. ... On the other hand, when a cold air mass catches up with a warm air mass, the cold air slides under the warm air and pushes it upward. As it rises, the warm air cools rapidly.
