"views on euthanasia"

I think that euthanasia is okay to do. I promote euthanasia because many people prefer to die than live anguished. Just imagine how morosely life is with a lot of suffering caused by something that can't be helped. For example, Chantel Sebire, a women in France suffers from a rare cancer called esthesioneuroblastoma. Esthesioneuroblastoma is a earnestly malignant tumor in the nasal cavity, which she says is a conceivable pain. People that suffer that much and that want to die by euthanasia should be allowed to be peacefully put to rest. All the suffering that can't be helped should be eradicated by euthanasia if that is what the person wants.

"mercy" killing ?!

1.Reflecting on Of Mice and Men

a.I think that George only did what he thought was best for Lennie. If George wouldn't of killed him, Curley and the other guys would have shot him in the guts and that would have made him suffer. George figured that either way Lennie was going to die so George preferred to kill Lennie himself so Lennie wouldn't have to suffer as much.

b. I kind of do think that what George did was the best for Lennie. George didnt want Lennie to suffer so he shot Lennie himself. George had other options of what to do like take lennie away from there and run. I guess George was tired of running from place to place because of the things Lennie did.

2.Father in Italy Accused of Murder

a."The court accepted that before the accident, his daughter had expressed a preference for dying over being kept alive artificially."

The father's reason for giving the order to remove the feeding tube was to do what his daughter wanted. He did what he thought was best for his daughter
