Could anyone help me with these translations. I've tried my dictionaries, but these phrases weren't listed. It's for my students. The pinyin w/ tones and character would be wonderful, but since beggers... anything would be greatly appreciated.

extreme sports

corporal punishment

cosmetic surgery

organ donation

buskers (street performers)

physician-assisted suicide

private interests (ex. the government or private interests)

introduce (to introduce a tax reform bill, not people)

body piercing

stay at home parent

superpower (like x-ray vision)

fossil fuel

well rounded (ex. a well rounded education)

victimless crimes

organized crime

legalization of narcotics

rehabilitate (criminals, drug addicts)

cryogenics

child abuse

corporal punishment = 體罰

cosmetic surgery = 整容

organ donation = 器官捐贈

buskers (street performers) = 街頭藝人

physician-assisted suicide = 安樂死

introduce (to introduce a tax reform bill, not people) = 引入

well rounded (ex. a well rounded education) = 全面

organized crime = 有組織罪案

legalization of narcotics = 海落英/毒品合法化

rehabilitate (criminals, drug addicts) = 更生 (??)

Someone please help with the rest. And Mrs Powers would need a new dictionary.
