There are several types of euthanasia that should be identified before one can formulate an informed opinion. Voluntary-Active euthanasia is a type of euthanasia in which

WRITING: PERSUASIVE SPEECH EUTHANASIA Imagine a world where anyone‚ even the curably ill or depressed‚ is easily assisted in suicide. Where someone else decides when you’re life is no longer worth living. Where it is a societal expectation to die rather than receive long-term care.
