    I am writing to update you on the news here regarding Lennie’s death and the fact that George did indeed shoot him. I believe George did the right thing to kill his friend and shortcut what was sure to be a miserable future or an untimely death filled with terror. Lennie no doubt accidentally took the life of Curley’s wife. But with Curley’s influence, Lennie had no chance for a defense or future happiness.…

    At the end of the book George’s action was justified. George wanted to put Lennie out of his misery before he was killed by Curley. If George wouldn't have shot Lennie, Curley would have tortured him before he killed him. Also George wanted Lennie to go out like a light not to let him suffer because he did what he thought was right…

George has to chose to either let Curley and the other guys kill him or kill him himself. This is an extremely difficult decision that most people would never have to make in their lifetime.

    The Morality Of Euthanasia Analysis

    According to James Rachels, in his essay “The Morality of Euthanasia,” the American Medical Association’s Conventional Doctrine in Euthanasia is false. The Conventional Doctrine states that there are certain situations in which letting someone die or passive euthanasia is morally permissible, but killing a patient or active euthanasia is not. For instance, in many circumstances a doctor can withhold treatment and will do nothing wrong if the patient were to die, but if the doctor were to provoke the death of the patient then it would be morally wrong. Rachels’ final goal is not to take a stand on the rightness or wrongness of euthanasia but instead show that if passive euthanasia is morally permissible then active euthanasia is also morally permissible. (define euthanasia)…

    The Arguments Against Euthanasia

    Death is heavy and weighs on the backs of us all. It looms over the shoulders of the unhappy, creeps under the beds of the ill, and swallows the elderly in their sleep. There is yet a man, to claim that tomorrow, his eyes will open, or will not close for an eternity. Our lives are but a book, waiting to be concluded, or shut mid sentence. As the writers of our own book, we have the right to know where, when and how the book ends. Are the lives of the ill worth any less than the unhappy or the elderly? Why do we hold them back from their easeful passing, but await their impending demise? Do we not see a difference in the life of one who wants to end temporary suffering or one who chooses to end a suffering that will not end?…

    Of Mice And Men Euthanasia Legal Analysis

    Did you know that euthanasia is only legal in 7 countries and in 4 states in the United States? The novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck explores the topic of mercy killing through the moment when George is forced to kill Lennie because of an accident that Lennie caused. The article titled “Where is Euthanasia Legal?” defines Euthanasia as the act of intentionally ending a person’s life to help relieve pain or suffering. Euthanasia is justified in some situations because people’s bodies should not suffer on life support or from a terminal disease.…

    Euthanasia: a question of choice

    Euthanasia: a question of choice

    Freedom is defined as the power to exercise one’s own rights, power and desires. In many areas of our life we do experience freedom of choice but when it comes to making our last final choice at how we end of our live, it seems that our rights have been stripped away from us. Euthanasia comes from the Greek language meaning “good death” (Wikipedia, 2013.). It was once viewed as a peaceful or prepared way of passing. There are some people who are opposed to euthanasia. They believe that it is the same as murder and that it goes against all their religious beliefs. What they don’t acknowledge is that it is taking away people’s rights to relinquish their suffering and pain which would allow them to pass peacefully on their terms. Right or wrong, not all situations are the same and this is really what is causing all the issues. Many people believe that by legalizing euthanasia it would open the door to worse actions in the future. I believe that this is completely false and that there is no evidence that supports that. What is the difference between taking someone off life support and euthanasia or the pain interventions that go along with palliative care? Since we already have the right to choose whether we want to refuse lifesaving interventions, we should have the right to receive a lethal injection. We all deserve the freedom to choose our destiny and we should have the right to save ourselves from a long painful death. Legalizing euthanasia would give terminally ill patients the ability to decide their fate regarding their own death.…
