1. Euthansia
Imagine your mother is diagnosed with cancer. She lies in a hospital bed all day.
unable to communicate with the world. The medication to stop her pain is not strong enough. .
The doctors only give her three months to live. What would you do? Would you let her lie in .
pain for her final days, or would you let her die prematurely? Helping her die is what euthanasia .
is all about. When someone is in extreme pain and they are at the end of their earthy life doctors .
help them die. Euthanasia is validated since it is your life and if you choose to die then it should .
be your privilege. Not all people have the belief that it is religiously wrong, and it puts people .
out of critical pain.
Some people would claim euthanasia is just as much a sin as murder, since killing an .
innocent human being is never justified. However, euthanasia is much different. Everyone is an .
individual and being one we should be entitled to our own decision if we wish to leave earth .
early. No one has the right to tell us if we are allowed to die or not. Our society has no problem .
with putting down a family cat or dog if they, are in tremendous amounts of pain, but some .
people would think it barbaric to end a family member's life this way. Both are mammals, both .
have feelings however, euthanasia is looked at as murder when it is applied to humans.

every other sin people should be able to make their own decision to sin or not. Also not .

everyone has the same Christian beliefs. Many people believe that our bodies belong to God and .
we should not mess with what God wants done with them. Nevertheless, there are people on the .
opposite side of this argument of this who believe that we are in control of our own bodies and .
we have the right to do with them as we please. An example of this is the abortion law. Women .
felt that their bodies are theirs and if the technology was available they should be able to abort .

EUTHANASIA, THE ETHICAL DEBATE People have addressed the ethical dilemma of euthanasia and assisted suicide since the beginnings of recorded history. Since then and to this day there has been no easy answer to the ethical question as to whether it is right or wrong. The issue arises today in part because the advent of life-sustaining treatment and other aggressive medical treatments to prolong life. When a person's health cannot be maintained or restored does that person have the right to select how and when they will die"? In this paper I will present several arguments for both sides, the "pr...
American Dream What is the American dream? Many people have different opinions on the definition of the American dream. Some writers think of the American dream as a Utopian society. In a Utopian society, the people are an example of the way the Earth should be, without crime and punishment. The common person may think the American dream is how rich other people are or how many expensive possessions they own.
