Lesbian By Choice
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 643.... If all of the fish are swimming upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream?
Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian.

The Concept Of Death
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 580.... by the definition of clinical death, which states that death is equated with irreversible coma.
