We did a presentation in our class!

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...

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...
