View on Euthanasia

I don't think mercy killing is a legitimate way of ending someones life. But I'm guessing some people think mercy killing is a legitimate way of ending someones life, for example murderers always have a Luger when they want to kill someone. When the do they wear a mask or something to cover their face so they can be anonymous so if they are not successful the person who they tried to kill will not be able to identify them. When the murderer would go kill someone they always do it in surprise because if they go up to someone that person is more likely to yammer. I am sometimes against euthanasia because its just like abortion its still consider killing someone. But some people are drawn to believe that its a right thing to do. But i also promote euthanasia because there is a lot of people prefer to die that to live.

"Mercy" Killing

1) Reflecting on of mice and men

a) In the book Of mice and men, the character George shoots what you can call his "best friend" in the head to end his life. The reason why George killed Lennie is because if he didn't do it the Curley would have to do it. But George doesn't want curley to do it because he knows Curley would torture Lennie before he kills him.

b) I think what George did was the best thing for Lennie. The reason why is because George didn't want Lennis to suffer. He was going to suffer if Curley would find him, Curley would make Lennie suffer before he kills him since Lennie killed his wife.


2) Father in Italy Accused of Murder


a)"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."

The reason why he did that was because he said that would be what his daughter would want. To the man he doesn't see it as murder i think to him he thinks he did something right. He thinks he did something right because if i was him i would think that my daughter would be suffering so I would just remove the feeding tube so she would not suffer anymore.

b)"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."

I think that was the best thing to do for his daughter. The reason why is because she's pretty much dead the only thing that was keeping her alive was the feeding tubes. So thats why I think he wanted to remove the feeding tubes not only because he didn't want to see her suffering but also because that would be what she wanted.

c) Yes I agree with what he did. I agree because if she was pretty much dead might as while just remove the feeding tubes so she can die. And if that would be her wish to remove the feeding tube then I would do it so she will not be suffering.
