Aid to Comfort Helplessly‚ writhing in agony is not the way to live! Allowing people to suffer in pain is a form of torture. It is wrong in our society for a person to inflict pain upon another human being. Why is it not wrong for an incurable disease to continuously impose suffering on a human? Today‚ doctors only prolong the lives of terminally ill patients whilst they still suffer until the disease kills them. Patients should have an option as to how long their suffering will last.

Many people assume that shoplifters have a mental disorder or that they must really need the items they are stealing in order to survive. But the truth is that’s not why most people steal.
