Busy Bee

I been so busy lately I barely have time to relax. I have a midterm tomorrow it’s for one of my general ed. classes therefore it should be easy. 50 questions half of them multiple choice the other half true or false. Damn never had it so easy, I should have been a Liberal Studies major.

I been trying to understand a concept that I think my professor failed to explain in simple terms I’ll try to write it down to see if I can interpret in my own words.

A case was presented; the case was about a doctor that injected heroin to the patient to reduce pain. The doctor was taken to court by the state, the dilemma is the doctor is clearly in violation of the law since he injected the patient with an illegal substance. It was proven that the substance did reduce pain, now what is the judge suppose to do??? Does he sentence him to jail to set a precedence? or does he let him go free if so other doctors would see this and see that it is ok to take matter into own hand and do anything for the sake of helping out the patient.

This is how I interpreted it, the judge can make an exception but only if certain circumstances like this one can be proven, after the judge see that there are too many cases brought of in regards this same scenario he/she can take it up to the legislature so then the legislature can change the law and add the different amendments… I don’t know.

The professor is great at bringing up the difficult questions that need to be answer in order to understand legal reasoning but I think he falls short to give us a good explanation of the answer, perhaps these questions are made evident so one can try to find a logical explanation using the legal reasoning. The more I get into this the more questions are created.

I better take a nap before my class tonight, staying up late since I need to study for the midterm. But before any of this homemade pasta, hmm.
