BBC- Ethics: Euthanasia and physician assisted suicide
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/euthanasia/

This website is written by BBC so it is reliable. You can lean about the basics about euthanasia, types of euthanasia, pro-euthanasia arguments, anti-euthanasia arguments, good deth and the practicalities of dying, legislation, and religious views of euthanasia. As you can see, this site shows opinions based on many point of views. For example, people who for euthanizing says people have rights to die while other people say life is sacred and euthanizing is against the will of God. Also, religion is closely related to this issue and this site shows religious point of views such as Buddism, Christianity, Hindism, Islam, Judaism and Skhism. I think you can learn a lot about euthanasia through this website.

We did a presentation in our class!

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...

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.

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...
