this weeks material i found to be especially sad. it focuses so much on dying and how to cope with it or different ways of dying. though the thing that i think stuck out to me was the two different types of euthanasia. one was active and one was passive. active euthanasia is when a doctor assists a patient with a terminal illness to commit suicide and passive is when certain things needed to sustain a body are taken away. both types of euthanasia are very controversial. i think that if used properly and with all the correct guidelines are followed they can be very beneficial. why would you want to make someone in great pain suffer? i would also really like to know more about euthanasia and what are the specific guideline, are there other states that are going to start allowing it and so on?
i cant think of anything in this section that pertains directly to my life right now. im pretty stoked on that, not having the people around me dying and all. but i have experienced loss of many very important people in my life and the anguish felt from it is just devastating.
