These breakdowns should be remedied, and many

Q. 4. Define abortion. Explain medical termination of pregnancy act in detail.

Answer: Definitions of abortion vary from one source to another. Abortion has many definitions that can differ from each other in significant ways. Given the contentious nature of abortion, lawmakers and other stakeholders often face controversy in defining abortion. Language referring to abortion often reflects societal and political opinions (not only scientific knowledge). Influential non-state actors like the United Nations and the Roman Catholic Church have also engendered controversy over efforts to define abortion. Late termination of pregnancy is the term usually used for later uterine evacuation.

Q. 5. Explain the regulatory requirements in setting up and running a blood bank.

Explanation of the important regulatoryrequirements in setting up and running a bloodbank.

Answer:There are representations from some of our colleagues who may not be medical doctors but are sufficiently equipped with knowledge possessing PhD degree and working in Transfusion Medicine for many years. What is the “medical need” of a medical doctor in a blood bank? Arguably, it is to take care of whole blood and aphaeresis donors, which needs medical attention. However, a medical doctor can work in all sections of the blood banks. If you look at the management of the blood centers (Red Cross or Community) in western countries, they are usually headed by non-medical managers like pharmacist or MBA.

Q. 6. Define and classify euthanasia. Add a note on living wills.

Answer:Euthanasiais the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. There are different euthanasia laws in each country.

In the Netherlands and Flanders, euthanasia is understood as "termination of life by a doctor at the request of a patient". Euthanasia is categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. Voluntary euthanasia is legal in some countries, U.S. states, and Canadian Provinces. Non-voluntary euthanasia is illegal in all countries. Involuntary euthanasia is usually considered murder. As of 2006, euthanasia is the most active area of research in contemporary bioethics.

Classification of euthanasia

Euthanasia may be classified according to whether a person gives informed consent into three types: voluntary, non-voluntary and involuntary.There is a debate within the medical and bioethics literature about whether or not the non-
