Euthanasia refers to the intentional ending of a life to relieve suffering. It is classified as active or passive, voluntary or non-voluntary, indirect or physician-assisted suicide. Active euthanasia involves using lethal drugs, while passive euthanasia means withholding treatment. Voluntary euthanasia occurs with consent, while non-voluntary applies to unconscious patients. The Netherlands legally allows euthanasia under certain conditions, while other countries like India prohibit it. The case of Nancy Cruzan established some rights around refusing life-sustaining treatment in the US. Supporters argue it relieves suffering, while opponents believe it devalues human life.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTING UNVEILED: THE ROLE OF BOND RATINGS IN GUIDING GREEN BON...indexPub
The increasing urgency to address climate change has propelled sustainable investing into the spotlight, with green bonds emerging as a pivotal instrument for mobilizing the capital required for environmental projects. This study delves into the critical role that bond ratings play in guiding investments in green bonds, shedding light on how these ratings influence investor confidence and the allocation of funds towards sustainable initiatives. By employing a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of green bond performance with qualitative interviews from industry experts, this research offers a comprehensive overview of the interplay between bond ratings and green bond investments. The findings suggest that higher bond ratings, often indicative of lower risk and better sustainability credentials, significantly impact the attractiveness of green bonds to investors. Additionally, the study examines the evolution of rating criteria to encompass environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, highlighting the shift towards more holistic assessments of investment risk and potential. This research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable finance by providing insights into the mechanisms through which bond ratings can facilitate more informed and impactful green bond investments.
1. Since 1971 GOLD has become the single most important metal in the world.
For forty years, Americans were forbidden by law to own, buy or sell gold except in the form
of jewelry or coins of numismatic value; from January 30, 1934, to January 1, 1975, while the
American embargo persisted.
Especially since 1975, however, gold has been much in the news because tens of thousands of
citizens have bought gold since it became legal to do so; and because of the massive changes that
have taken place in the role and price of gold in our world economy.
Gold is virtually indestructible-- ornaments placed in Egyptian tombs in 2500 B.C. Were
still in perfect condition when discovered by archaeologists in the 1920’s. Gold coins recov-
ered from sunken ships after 300 years glistened just as though they had come fresh from
the mint! Gold can be conveniently stored and transported; it is impervious to rust, corro-
sion, and the elements; it is malleable, ductile, lustrous, and ornamental; it is easily worked
with other metals; it is heat-resistant and an excellent conductor of electricity. (It insulates
space vehicles from intense heat on re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere.) Gold is even be-
lieved to have therapeutic qualities in lotions and baths.
First used by the Egyptians for adornments, utensils, and evidence of personal worth, gold was
gradually adopted as a medium of exchange after civilization advanced to extensive trading
between peoples. At first, trading was by barter: a few bushels of wheat for a bowl or a small rug.
But barter was clumsy; what was needed was a material or article to serve as a standard medium
of exchange. Dozens of things were used at one time or another: copper, iron, silver, rugs, cattle,
land , shells, stones, goats, skins, and even women! Of all things tried, metals seemed most prac-
tical as a universal medium of exchange, and of the metals, the best were silver and gold. These
(particularly gold) were first used in bars, gold dust, and then in rings of a fairly standard size.
The real breakthrough in the use of gold as money was in 560 B.C. When King Croesus of Lydia
invented coinage. He struck coins of both gold and silver, shaped like lima beans and bearing an
2. official imprint. These coins caught on rapidly. The trade of the would increasingly implemented
currency made of gold and silver:silver for everyday purchases in the marketplace, and gold for
more expensive transactions, and as for counting houses and government treasuries. The famous
gold coins of the world were the daric (Persian), the dinar (serving the Arab world for centu-
ries), and the bezant or solidus minted in Constantinople (the Eastern Empire) and accepted in
the world trade for 800 years, until doubloon, the Napoleon, the Pound Sterling, the American
Eagle, and the Double Eagle.
For over 2,500 years, until August 15, 1971, the leading currencies accepted in international
trade were either made of gold, convertible into gold, or backed by reserves of gold! That’s how
vital gold has been in the history of the world. But on August 15, 1971, President Nixon closed
the gold window, and the American dollar, ceased to be convertible by Central Banks of other
nations into one thirty-fifth of an ounce of gold, with gold stabilized at $35 an ounce.
From that date, no currency of any nation has had official gold backing of convertibility. Accord-
ingly, without the discipline of gold’s backing currencies and with the price of gold no longer
frozen at $35 an ounce by the U.S. Treasury, gold began to move up on world trading markets in
London, Zurich, the U.S., and Hong Kong. In 1971-72, gold moved into the $40 range, and then
soared to $197 an ounce in late 1974, falling back to $103 in 1975, and then moving steadily up-
ward to an amazing high of $850 in January 1980, thereafter Gold languished for more than two
decades below $400 per ounce until climbing to $1900 per ounce in 2011.
Whatever accounted for this surging popularity of gold, and its avid purchase by individuals, es-
pecially in in the past few years.....here are some of the catalysts which began on January 1, 1975
and has now evolved into Gold ownership for the past three half decades, as seen in the chart
below:
25 YEAR GOLD CHART
3. First, Gold is very scarce and has always been. New world production each year is below
165,000,00 metric tons in human history, and all the Gold each year would take up a space no
larger than the lower half of the
Washington Monument.
Ever since 1933, U.S. Treasury officials have downgraded and disparaged gold. In addition,
Keynes called it “a barbarous relic,” Congressman Reuss said it was good only for filling teeth,
Secretary of the Treasury Fowler (under President Johnson) belittled gold, and Paul Volcker,
in the 1970’s former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has ridiculed gold and been vo-
cal in his drive to see it “demonetized.” Gold has since risen more than 1500%; Outperforming
stock portfolios and most Equity Funds. Recently, Ron Paul has risen in the Presidential Prima-
ries with his canadicy based upon a return to the Gold standard. This strength is based upon a
ground swell ogf support for the backing of our monetary system with Gold. Importantly, this
reflects the greatest mass electorate support for the return to the Gold standard. Whether this is
done by election or through Gold price adjustment upoards, Gold should be of keen interest to
investors worldwide in the various investment opportunities bullion, coins, funds, Futures/Op-
tions, or Special Situation Gold exploratory companies.
Historically, the US has continually tried to de-emphasis the importance of Gold in the mon-
etary system. For example,
In downgrading gold, the International Monetary Fund has sold off half its stores of the metal,
and the U.S. Treasury itself back in 1978 and 1979 had auctions in which our precious gold
reserves were sacrificed at bargain prices (around $275 an ounce), only to see hoarders and the
central banks of a dozen other nations snap them up, while gold was on its way to new highs!
Why? Gold has had an unassailable record for 2,500 years as a monetary metal. It has moved
into new price orbits only because of the depreciation of currencies around the world, especially
the dollar.
Why has gold remained so buoyant when our Treasury authorities assured us that gold was dead
as a monetary metal? The answer is that in every inflation, in every monetary depreciation of
which history has record, gold and land have been the winning investments. These two (along
with silver) have protected the wealth of individuals and have enabled tens of thousands to sur-
vive in times like the German inflation of 1923 and the Hungarian inflation of 1946. Ownership
of gold has been the best way to survive devaluations and rebuild wealth after them. In January
1980 gold reached $850.
If and when the U.S. Returns to a gold or gold reserve standard, the price will be stabilized at a
price 75 X or greater above the $35 per ounce of 1971. Do not expect that the dollar will ever
again be convertible into gold, but you can expect the Federal Reserve Notes, in circulation, will
be backed (25 percent) by gold in Fort Knox valued at possibly $3000 an ounce.
With this scenario; prediction of higher long term prices for gold are probable because of contin-
ued inflation, and the determination of prudent individuals to own gold in increasing amounts--
4. whether in the form of bullion, coins, or mining shares.
All the important central banks of the world (except the U.S. Banks) have increased their gold
holdings since 1978. We believe that gold is on its way back as a stabilizer of the monies of the
world. The only reason U.S. Officials knock gold is that they wish to continue the inflation by (1)
the printing press, (2) expanded issuance of government bonds, (3) expansion of outstanding
currency by Eurodollar loans and commercial bank credit.
Because gold has proven the best individual defense in all past inflations, expect it to contin-
ue to attract investors and hoarders, the world’s central banks, and Arabs tired of accepting
declining dollars in payment for oil. Thus, in the next decade, expectations that gold fever
will not calm down or go away: but will soar to new heights is the most likely scenario.
There are 5 ways investors can acquire or invest in gold;
1> First, there are ingots-- gold bars-- that are available widely in one-ounce units (and some
lower) and in hundred-ounce and larger units. The one-ounce bars are available at most gold
and silver coin dealers; the larger bars, which require storage, are best bought at a big met-
ropolitan bank (Republic National Bank in New York has a complete gold department), or
through a big stock exchange firm that handles gold and can have it stored for you.
2> Another way of owning bullion gold is in so-called bullion coins that sell at prices very
close to the London closing gold prices each day. Of these, the most popular is the Krugerrand,
minted in South Africa. This coin contains exactly one ounce of gold. The Canadian Maple Leaf
is also popular; it too contains one Troy ounce of gold. Another popular coin is the Mexican
50-peso Centenario, which contains about 1.2 ounces of gold. These coins can be bought and
sold in major cities around the world, like London, Zurich, Beirut, Hong Kong, Singapore,
New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. These coins are the equivalent of buying gold bars, but
they are handier and more instantly marketable.
3> A third way of owning gold is via numismatic coins. These are standard gold coins, but they
sell for far above their melt-up or bullion value because of their scarcity, their condition and
quality, their uniqueness, the country of issue, and their denomination. In the U.S., gold coins
have been issued in the $1, $2.50, $3, $5, $10, $20, and $50 denominations. There were at one
time seven mints in the U.S., and the rare issuances from some of these mints have great value
today. For example, the $3 gold piece was struck in 1854-89, and one of these in perfect condi-
tion struck in 1975 would be worth $90,000 today.
The accumulated gold coins of the world, since invention of minting, represent billions of
dollars. Collection of these coins (many exceedingly rare) is a career in itself, and diligent
experts have made fortunes by prudent appraisal and timely purchase.
Hundreds of nations, long gone, issued coins, and your choice may be from darics, dinars,
bezants, ducats, sovereigns, or the Single and Double Eagle of the U.S. The Content of mod-
ern gold coins is as follows:
5. Nation Denomination Percentage of Pure Gold
(Troy Ounce)
Belgium 20 trancs .187%
Colombia 5 pesos .236
France 20 trancs .187
Italy 20 lire .194
Netherlands 10 guilders .194
U.S.S.R. 10 rubles .249
Switzerland 20 trancs .187
Great Britain 1 pound .235
U.S.A. 10 dollars (Eagle) .484
If collecting gold coins as an investment interests you, go to a reputable gold-coin house,
read a book and current magazines on the subject, and seek quality: min condition, proof,
or bright un circulated (BU) coins preferable; and buy at times when gold prices are low or
falling. Store in a safe place. Don’t carry coins around or rub them together or their condi-
tion will suffer.
The purchase of coins or bars has one disadvantage-- these assets bring in no income or
interest, so they must ride in value to be useful to you. Thus, gold tends to “sell off ” in peri-
ods of rising interest rates (because many people borrow money to carry a gold inventory).
Over the years, however, informed coin collectors have done very well indeed, and the op-
portunities are unlimited.
4>Gold Funds are in abundance, and are available through many leading family of mutual
funds, such as Fidelity, or Vanguard.
The most popular Exchange Traded Fund can be utilized too; Symbol GLD.
Speculation in the commodity market is also a good choice. Such as trading in Gold Fu-
tures, or Gold Futures Options.
5>Another way to fend off inflation and enjoy income and gain is to make selective invest-
ment among special situation gold stocks. This requires The lure of having a 1.00 stock that
may move up to $5 or $10 in a short time is almost irresistible!
In the résumé of gold shares mostly are producers, but;
High Profits from Low Priced SPECIAL SITUATION GOLD exploration companies, that
are aggressively acquiring historical mining claims could be the best focus for investors who
believe that Gold has not peaked and may be on the springboard to substantially higher
prices. These companies run by strong management are seeking to build large portfolios
of ‘Historically Significant Gold Claims’ and could be the next BONANZA! in the Secular
Gold Bull Market.
