moneyfaery Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 [quote name='Irene' post='36916' date='Feb 15 2009, 10:18 AM']Euthanasia in itself is too broad. You want to ground your topic in a specific example e.g. the case of Terry Schiavo. The only downfall to this now is its lack of originality - the topic has been done to death, pardon the pun.[/quote] Specific issue: what gives us the right to take away other lives or even our own?

Abu Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 We are not here to figure out what needs to be in your presentation. You can ask your teacher for guidance. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedron123 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Zahrati, maybe you can speak about the fact that keeping a person alive (considering that he / she has no chances of recovering) may be a huge burden to his/her family both emotionally and in economic terms. On the one hand, his family would have as a memory the picture of a person prostrated on a bed connected to wires for him to survive. On the other, unless the insurance covers up all the costs, hospitalising a person is very expensive and/or pointless if he cannot come out of that state as other people who still have chances of surviving may be taken care of instead. I hope that this helps you for your presentation. G'luck! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was sick of being dependent on people, sick of feeling crappy, and just COUld not stand to live any longer. He used to be a swimmer and loved it; ironically, he was injured while diving. IT'S BASED ON THE REAL STORY OF RAMON SAMPEDRO, SO LOOK HIM AND HIS BOOK UP, IT MIGHT HELP. -HOPE THIS HELPS !!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktoria Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I did my presentation about assisted suicide, its similar to euthanasia. I think it went quite well. You need to talk against and in favour of euthanasia as well as tell how it affects and is affected by the different areas of knowledge. Give examples!!
