I believe that if someone is in a medical situation and they are deemed terminally ill and THEY THEMSELVES want to give up and end thier own life, they should have that right. Suicides happen everyday without the help of a doctor, why cant those who are ill have the same right but with the help of a doctor? I think that it is selfish for someone to push a loved one to continue if thier quality of life is not only extremely poor but painful. And the only one who should have a right to end your own life should be YOURSELF!
On the topic of the Death Penalty, I also believe in it. The Death penalty has always been here throughout the Roman Empire, The Greeks, and even more locally HANG TOWN. It has always been used, so why do we feel the need to become these self righteous people and pretend that it wont or hasn't happened? People who are sentenced to Death Row are not the ideal citizens, they have been convicted of murder, numerous counts of rape, and torcher. Of course there will be flaws in the system due to wrongful convictions, and with the technology nowadays it helps clear their names or solidify their guilt, but there is a process that allows them to appeal their case.
The Topic of Abortions is a difficult subject for me to have an opinion on because I am Catholic and so my religion asks me to believe that it is wrong. But I am a woman of this time in age and I understand that there is much more to this equation then just a woman aborting a child. In most cases there is an event that made them pregnant. Regardless of the situation, a woman should have the same rights to her body as a man. Another thing that comes to mind when I think about abortions are generally speaking the women who get abortions are typically not in the financial/ mental position to care for a child.

I do agree with your thoughts about the selfishness of family to keep their loved one alive even when they are experiencing such enormous levels of pain.
On abortion, wouldn't you say that if a woman falls pregnant at an age where they are not financially prepared to care for a child, that they should be extremely careful when choosing to have sex? I would hope so, but it seems more women are not as future-oriented as they could be and do not think about the possible consequences of having a child. They also do not think about the emotional torment that they would have to go through when debating between abortion, or life.
i really like the chart and it gives an interesting perspective on who the major criminals are. also the topic of abortion is very con traversal, but your thinking is rational. i like Jessica idea in her comment too.
I like you views on death and its very hard to decide which way to go especially with religion and personal experiences. I also agree with you that it should be up to the person and no one else if they should end their life or not. No one else can know what your feeling or experiencing so it shouldnt be up to them. I feel like this is the most controversial topic we have had to write about and its hard! Good job
