Euthanasia
Bang, Bang, Bang as the judge called for silence as Dr. Kervorkian's sentence was read. Dr. Kervorkian was the most well know euthanasia supporters, he has assisted in the suicide of at least of 47 people. Euthanasia is the practice of ending someone's life so they can be relieved of an incurable disease or intolerable suffering. There are two kinds of euthanasia, voluntary and passive. Voluntary euthanasia is when the patient or legal representative requests that it be done. Passive euthanasia is not doing something to prevent the death of a person like not giving that person life support or pulling the plug when they are vegetables. There are many cases to assist in another person's death.

Someone should be able to make their own decisions about their own life and what they want to do to themselves even if that means taking their own life. I think all people should know of all the ways to leave from this world as easily and comfortably as they can. People with disabilities and that are very sick should have the right to choose when they die.
