We did a presentation in our class!

投稿者:
We had a presentation in our class about euthanasia. We were assigned to creat an NPO related to the topic and present it as if we were recruiting our class members to join us. We found an NPO called "Terminal ill right to die"(TIRD). Our concept is that terminal ill people should have the right to get euthanized but non-terminal ill people shouldn't have the right to get euthanized. Terminal ill people should have the right to end their physical pain. However more and more non-terminal ill people are trying to get euthanized because of stress and depression but life is such an important thing that we shouldn't give up on it so easily. There are always ways to solve any kind of problems but death. We should fight to protect more lives and care more about people. Our project is to collect signatures from people, show our will and make a stricter low for those who wants to get euthanized. Our goal is to decrease the number of non-terminal ill people who gets euthanized...

A Belgian Woman Decided To Be Euthanized

投稿者:
    Emily, a 24 year old woman who lives in Belgium, has been suffering from a serious mental disorder since she was only three years old. She didn't know why she existed, and thought "I don't wanna be here." When she was thirteen, she started thinking about suicide, and hurt herself over and over. She couldn't find a reason to live. So she decided to be euthanized in Belgium, in which death with dignity is legal for people who suffer from "an incurable or terminal illness".      After going through so many times of counseling, she was approved to be euthanized. It was because she injured herself so many times and she was truly despairing about living her life. Doctors told her that she could cancel it whenever if she wants, and the last day of her life came.      In the end, she chose not to die. She says "I couldn't. I have to fight with myself again."      Even though she decided not to die, her case shows that living is hars...
