What is your social issue? My social issue is euthanasia. Euthanasia is when a terminally ill person is killed by assisted suicide.

Why is it such a social issue? What do people disagree about in relation to this topic? This is such a social issue because there are people who think that if someone is very sick and want to die they should have the choice to while there are also the people who believe Assisted Suicide is a bad thing because it goes against what doctors are there for. Doctors are known for taking care of life not taking it away.

What is your proposed solution? Why do you think this is the best solution? The solution that I believe would be a reasonable decision is that they should only have the option of euthanasia if they have six or less months to live.  I believe that this would be a good solution because it would prevent abuse of assisted suicide because then someone would have to be dying for a doctor to legally euthanize them.

What are pros to your solution?  One pro is that a doctor wouldn’t be able to give someone the option of Assisted Suicide unless they are dying.

What are cons to your solution? Some people would find someone on the black market to illegally  Euthanize them.

 

Questions I have for you

• What do you think about this topic?
• What do you think would be a good solution?
• Do you have any other pros or cons of my solution?

Me and my friend Brian combined our Play Doh to make one object. the object was a person with a hallow egg head and a flat round body. he is holding a pick ax. He is also giving a thumbs up with the one arm he has. This thing represents the weird but also funny friendship. While the ax represents our love for gaming. We both like to play games on either Xbox or sometimes PC. Our class mates made some interesting things such as a guitar without strings, a house, a sculpture of the word ART and much more. This activity relates to my writing process because it shows how my thinking process works and how well I can work with others. It also relates to the writing processes of anyone because different people make different things. At first i didn’t know what to do so then I just decided that that was what I was going to do.  I was going to do something random and see how it turned out. When I was done the object turned out as expected… funny.  I liked the random thing I created quite a bit so I didn’t want to change it and I think Brian liked it to because he came up with the idea of combining our Play Doh to make one object.  When we combined the Play Doh we created the man with the pick ax. Below is the picture of the interesting object me and Brian made.

In the website ISIDEWITH I picked the topic  Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?  Within the United States 76% of the citizens said yes and 24% said no. The people who agreed said since they live their lives the way they want they can end it how they want. They also said that they should be able to do it but only if there is no chance of them surviving. They might to this because they don’t want to die in pain. They probably want to go peacefully because dieing within minutes is a lot better than slowly dieing over a course of years. by While the people who disagreed said that they should think about the ones who love them such as their family and friends. they also said that the entire reason for medical professionals is to be the preservers of life and allowing killing into the jobs of these professionals would be like putting dirt into a cake and forcing someone to eat it. Another reason is that if they kill themselves yes they are saving themselves but they are making it harder on their parents because now they have to deal with the fact that their child committed suicide.
