ample suffering is a mercy killing. Both are methods of euthanasia. We all have the right to die if it ends a person’s suffering or if a person is terminally ill and will die anyway. People should not have to suffer if they do not want to. Throughout the years‚ many people have argued whether euthanasia should be legal or illegal. To some it is considered "playing God"; to others it is a generous act. Do the people who consider euthanasia "playing God"; consider prolonging life "playing God" also

Should Homosexuals be permitted to serve in the armed forces? Why not? For one thing‚ gays are serving in the military right now. Furthermore‚ there is no reason to believe they have not been serving in the U.S. military continuously since the Revolutionary War. I saw a documentary on TV about WW2 gay vets.
