Sociology 12/5
Criminology
Lecture on Hypnotically Refreshed Testimony
Discussion: Should hypnosis, and similar techniques, be used in the criminal justice system? Why or why not?
I hope all of you have found someone to interview for your project. If you are still having trouble locating someone, I may be able to arrange something for you. Please come to me after class with questions or concerns.
Death and Dying
Lecture on Euthanasia
Discussion: Considering the ramifications personally as well as socially, do you believe people have the "right to die"? Should people be able to choose when to end their lives absolutely, should there be laws that allow only physician-assisted suicides and how should they be written if so, or should no one be able to make that choice for themselves?
And for your information, you will be having a final exam. Please begin reviewing your course materials. A study guide will be made available at a later date.

Re: Criminology
"Hypnosis? No, I don't believe that should be used in any kind of legal setting. While it might be able to get to memories and details that were buried or regressed, there is also the possibility of being coerced or talked into remembering details that might benefit the wrong person. If the subject of hypnosis is easily persuaded and easily talked into things, someone could use hypnosis to gain a confession, pin a crime on someone, find buried evidence that convicts someone, and a slew of other things that could be harmful and/or implicate the wrong person."
