Death

If you were to die tonight what would happen to you?

Henry Scott Holland Death is nothing at all

Nothing Reincarnation Judgement Heaven Hell Eternal life

Should we have the right to choose when to die? Euthanasia

Euthanasia Pros and Cons Euthanasia: The intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. (If death is not intended, it is not an act of euthanasia)

Arguments For Euthanasia It provides a way to relieve extreme pain It provides a way of relief when a person's quality of life is low Frees up medical funds to help other people It is another case of freedom of choice

Arguments Against Euthanasia: Euthanasia devalues human life Euthanasia can become a means of health care cost containment Physicians and other medical care people should not be involved in directly causing death There is a "slippery slope" effect that has occurred where euthanasia has been first been legalized for only the terminally ill and later laws are changed to allow it for other people or to be done non-voluntarily.

What will your legacy be? After death we do exist in the memories of those who knew us.
