Answer to Question 1

Death used to be defined as the cessation of breathing and heartbeat. The newer approach defines death as the prolonged absence of brain waves, or brain death. This gives physicians some legal standing in withholding life-sustaining efforts from those who show virtually no possibility of recovery.

Answer to Question 2

A self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when a person labeled as mentally ill begins to live up to social expectations. This self-fulfilling prophecy is most likely to result when people are experiencing some personal crisis and they are especially sensitive to the reactions of others and vulnerable to any signs of disapproval.
