3. Song Title: Unconscious but Feeling
Genre: Rock
Explanation: This song explores how some patients who are said to be in a vegetative state can still feel. Thus, it is immoral to take them off of life support. Unlike physician assisted suicide, in which the consent of the patient is taken before any action is taken, when life support is drawn, the consent of the patient cannot be taken. Wesley Smith, an attorney and Discovery Institute colleague states,"when family members claim that they detect signs of consciousness in their 'unconscious' loved ones, doctors should be less quick to assert that they are merely seeing what they want to see."

B. Lyrics to Unconscious but Feeling:
Little Missy Jones
little did she know
she was being robbed of her life
without getting a chance to say goodbye
laying there all stiff and still
they assumed she was not there
and took away her life support
didn't even stop to look
just waited for her heart to die
all the while she was screaming inside
C. CD Title: Survival of the Fittest, Richest, and Meanest
