After reading Of Mice and Men and the two news articles, what is your stance on euthanasia? Is "mercy" killing a legitimate way to ending someones life? List any exceptions, if you have any. (This response should be 7-10 sentences and include 5 w2o -make sure the words are indicated by bold font, italics, or different colors).
To implement, my stance on euthanasia is that if its that your going to die because of a disease then its o.k. Like the girl that was disconnected my cousin was also disconnected. I probably wish she was still alive but her time had come. My cousin had less than 60% of her brain functioning and died peacefully when they disconnected her. In this situation euthanasia was probably the only thing that could be done. Her mother was restless but at the end agreed with the disconnection because even if they would let her out of the hospital she would only live if she was kept alive artificially. The man that disconnected her daughter was probably thinking of how she would not be able to survive in the future. The man that killed his family I believe committed an infraction and not euthanasia because he had many other choices other than eradicating his family. Our economy is falling but that doesn't mean its the end of the road. When my parents arrived they had to start off their lives from nothing and after losing everything they have reintegrated most of what they lost in their native country, El Salvador.

I really like that you used a real life examples that can relate to this topic. It gives us more of an idea of what euthanasia is and how it is not the only choice for people to make. You showed that euthanasia can be prevented by doing other things instead.
GREAT JOB!!!

I completely agree with you. The father probably really thought that his daughter would't survive; she said it herself that she wished to die. And i agree with you about the father that killed his family, he really didn't think thing through, and just acted on a whim.
I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU WROTE EVYTTHING. IT IS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE. I AGREE WITH YOU 100% AND YEA THERES ALWAYS OTHER HIGHWAY OPTIONS. I HAD A FRIEND TO THAT WAS DISCONETED. BUT I DONT CONSIDER THAT AS EUTHANASIA BECAUSE HE WAS STILL FUNCTIONING AND HE STILL COULD UNDERSTAND AND HEAR. HE WS KILLED AND IT WAS NTO HIS TIME TO GO.
WuZzUp yO!
