Euthanasia Good or Bad?

I honestly don't feel that "mercy" killing is the best way to end someones life. I believe that we should follow our own fate and not let others decide for us. How do you think you would feel if someone kills you with out your consent is that considered murder. How about if the person that has the choice is too anguished to make the right decision. Sometimes the ones stuck with that decision can be ominous and not care about the person. There are many factors that can affect how we think, that is why I believe that humans are not capable of doing the right decisions. If the person insists on you pulling the plug then that is their choice. I would feel that we should respect their decision even if it hurts others. If the injured person said to you to pull the plug in a morosely manner I had to say that person is having secound thoughts of still living. Now if they say it in a imperious manner I am sure they would want you to end their suffering and if you retort I am sure you are just making them angrier.

1a. Explain George's perspective for what he did to Lennie. -George probably killed Lennie because he felt it was better for Lennie. George must of felt that Lennie was a burden that he did not want to carry anymore.

1b. Do you think that was the best thing to do for Lennie? -I do think it was the best thing to do. If I was in his shoes I would be really exasperated having to take care of Lennie and always running away.

2a.A simple reason for the euthanasia that the father in Italy did is that the daughter wanted that to happen. As it says in the text,"Late last year, 67-year-old Beppino Englaro, won an intense 10-year legal battle to allow his daughter's feeding tubes to be removed, saying that was her wish."

2b.I do think that was the best thing if she wished for it. There is evidence that she wanted that other wise the court would of accepted. "The court accepted that before the accident, his daughter had expressed a preference for dying over being kept alive artificially."

2c.I do not believe the father should be aloud to choose to keep some one alive or not. In this case I do agree Since he had permission from her dauther.

3. Man Kills Family after Losing his Job

a. Imagine and list things that might have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing. (In the article, the father's suicide note gives specific evidence of why he did what he did. Elaborate on it.) Specifically, what could he have been negative or paranoid about?

-He probably felt the money was his life and without it he had no life. The father must of been to desperate that he was blind of the truth. There can be a way with no money it will be hard but there is a way.

b. Unfortunately, with America's failing economy, many professionals are losing their jobs. While many do not resort to something as extreme as the man in the article, it does cause stress within families. What are some ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) that do NOT require money?

-The first thing I can think of is for parents to support their children in school. You know what people say "knoledge is the key to life". Another thing could be to show kids that family is the most important thing there is and not money. There are other things that can help but I think these are the most important.
