Father John Paris, associated with the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral recently addressed the ticklish problem of playing god" in the sense of when a respirator should be removed or whether next of kin should have the right to decide such matters or if they should be turned over to the physician, courts or legislature. which would make the project eligible for industrial revenue bond and tax increment financing. The property that Mr. Flint is proposing for the $1 million private membership recreation complex is located at 350 North Main Street, which is a four-acr- e plot and is used currently for a city park. THE CENTER would include a acre track, tennis courts, small swimming pool and indoor one-tent- h raquetball. The city officials are debating whether a complex would be successful in the area, as in the past similar centers have not succeeded. IN TODAYS world, all of those parties are getting involved, as the mechanical-medica- l needs are in place to keep people alive for years, at least in a matter of speaking. Even that "quality ol life" must be addressed, he told a group of physicians at Ogdens McKay-De- e Hospital last week. "Fear in a litigous society has intruded into the histoncally now skerred by lear of malpracrelatively easy decision-makintice suits and litigation," he said, noting a myriad of cases coming up almost weekly across the country. They often center around whether a person should be allowed to live on through mechanical means, or if that life can be terminated by family wish oi through previous declarations by the individual involved MR. FLINT proposes to sell the g annual memberships for approximately $200 and stated should financial difficulties arise, he would guarantee all but refund to its members. 10 percent The city officials feel it may be more logical to build a larger swim- ming pool which would be used by students of Davis County School District. KAYSVILLE residents have voiced their strong feelings in the past, of building a swimming pool for the public. The Mayor and Council will study the proposal further. THE CITY also owns property , a 5.6 acre north of the city at 300 North Main, formerly owned by the Davis County Farm Co-o- p and also two acres at 400 West 260 North, south of the city shops, that could be considered, np LIKED IT After she had thrown her arms around the shy young man and bouquet of flowers, he jumped up and grabbed his hat.

These men also create original choreography, vocal arrangements IN SOME cases, a court has ruled that life must be i chimed at all costs while otherjudges have reversed such decisions. In most cases, hospitals have argued their role is not to kill but restoie life as much as is feasible, Mr. Paris said.
