4)After reading Of Mice and Men and the two news articles, what is your stance on euthanasia? Is "mercy" killing a legitimate way to ending someones life? List any exceptions, if you have any.
Answer: My stance on euthanasia is against it because euthanasia is just like abortion it terminates someone life. There are people that are drawn to thinking that euthanasia is the right but I believe that it is wrong because your are still killing someone no matter how you do it. I believe that there are exceptions to euthanasia such as being in the vegetative state. Another reason is when people have anguished faces or people that stare morosely at everything, are miserable and don't want to live. My final exception is when a person has a serious conundrum with their health and they can't get better. I believe that doctors cause infractions everyday when they perform euthanasia on people and they don't get caught. The doctors are helping people commit suicide which is illegal. People have to have exceptions on euthenasia because you do not want people to suffer.I have made my choice on euthanasia have you?

"Mercy Killing"
1)Reflecting on Mice and Men
A.Explain George's perspective for what he did to Lennie.
Answer: George's perspectives from his point of view is that Lennie is not bright and that he will always cause problems. He also thought that he was wasting his time on telling things that he won't remember. George also thought that Lennie is a danger to himself and to the people all around him.
B.Do you think that was the best thing to do for Lennie?
Answer: I believe that it was the best thing for Lennie because Lennie was probably going to go to jail for a long time or get shot or tortured by Curley and the other people trying to hunt him down. It was also a good thing because Lennie might kill another person and cause more trouble for George..
2)Father in Italy Accused of Murder
A. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain the father's reasons for what he did.
Answer:"Eluana Englaro, who had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, died Feb. 9 in a clinic in the city of Udine after doctors removed her feeding tubes." The Father decided to do that because from his perspective even if she would wake from the vegetative state she will not be able to do the things that other adults do. Also the father thought that the daughter would need extra care because she will not know how to do anything. She will not know how to walk, talk or dress because usually when your in the vegetative state you lose memory.
B. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain if that was the best thing to do for the daughter."Eluana Englaro, who had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, died Feb. 9 in a clinic in the city of Udine after doctors removed her feeding tubes."In this quote it explains why everything went down. I mean the daughter had been in the vegetative state for 17 years, that is a really long time.It was the best thing for the girl because she had no hope of waking up from the vegetative state. She did not have a chance of waking up and plus she wished to be disconnected from the feeding tubes, because she knew that she would be her same old self ever again.
3. Man Kills Family after Losing his Job
A. Imagine and list things that might have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing. (In the article, the father's suicide note gives specific evidence of why he did what he did. Elaborate on it.) Specifically, what could he have been negative or paranoid about?Answer:The father probably thought that they wouldn't make it through because they did not have money because they lost their jobs at Kaiser. The father also did not want the kids to suffer just because he lost his job he believed that his children did not have to struggle just because both his him and his wife lost their jobs. He had a negative thought about how his children were going to grow up in a bad and unsafe environment because they did have money to support them.
B. Unfortunately, with America's failing economy, many professionals are losing their jobs. While many do not resort to something as extreme as the man in the article, it does cause stress within families. What are some ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) that do NOT require money?Answer: The Parents can support their children by letting them join a sport"s team at school and by going to watch them play. Another way is that by letting them do activities at school. Another way is to get involved with the kid's lives by helping them with their homework. The last way parents can support their children is by communicating with their children better.
