the most merciful and painless‚ is voluntary euthanasia by action‚ meaning the patient asks for it and is freed of continued misery by lethal injection. There are often anti-euthanasia arguments about how it affects the loved ones of the patients. In my opinion‚ this is not a reasonable argument‚ for pain will come to them‚ no matter what the cause. It is better to see a loved one die a peaceful death‚ leaving the world with dignity‚ than watch them go through agonizing pain throughout the rest of

"Educating Rita" takes the lives of two people on the opposite ends of the social spectrum and brings them together

Intro: The essay “Thank You for Smoking‚” written by Peter Brimelow‚ is far from an influential essay on why people should smoke.

The main audience being targeted in this article is those who already smoke and those who are thinking
