    Stevenson’s reaction towards the bill.

    Doesn’t approve and uses colloquial diction.

    This makes the reader feel that even if they feel this may be right it is wrong.

    Stevens is able to convey his message to the reader.

    In the letter written by Governor Adlai E. Stevenson, he explains his reaction towards the Senate Bill entitled “An Act to Provide Protection to Insectivorous Birds by Restraining Cats.” His disapproval and negative attitude becomes very clear to the reader with his use of diction and tone in order to organize an effective letter to his audience.

    The tone of the governor s message indicates his bias attitude. He makes the letter a straightforward analysis of his opinion. Right of the bat, it is obvious how favoritism plays a critical role in Mr. Stevenson’s letter. His reference to the “so-called Cat Bill,” shows how pessimistic he is already being.

    Through Stevenson’s use of diction and tone, he is able to convince readers of how what they mi

  • vickys a dumb ***?

    Imagine a loved one or even yourself lying in a hospital bed. You are unable to move or to show any signs of life. Your existence is controlled by a respirator, a feeding tube, and an I.V. Your cognizant functions are gone. For all intents and purposes, you are dead. Your body is no longer able to sustain life; its entire purpose is now replaced by machines. You are being kept alive artificially. Should you be kept alive by these means or should you be allowed to die a natural death? Unfortunately, if you are in this situation, you are unable to rely your wishes to your doctor. Your voice has been replaced by the government. In today’s society, medical advancements permit human life despite being in a vegetable state. The argument behind euthanasia is to relieve human beings in a vegetable state from suffering any further if the end result is literally an end to life. Euthanasia may be defined as “the intentional killing by act or omission, of a dependent human being for his or her

    alleged benefit.” The choice to permit death is a controversial issue in our society. Those against the permission of death believe euthanasia is a rejection of the importance and value of human life. Euthanasia should be legalized

    Of the controversial discussions involving euthanasia, the question of legalization is an often argued one. Whether euthanasia ought to be illegal is different from the question of whether it is immoral. A poll conducted by CBS News claims that a majority of Americans favor assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is someone who provides an individual with the information, guidance, and means to take his or her life with the intention that they will be used for this purpose. However previous polls show the nation is as least split on the issue or opposed to the grisly practice. And what may matter most, actual ballot votes on the subject, have Americans strongly opposed. This particular poll questioned about 1300 Americans on if they thought "a doctor be allowed to assist the person in taking their own life" that "has a disease that will ultimately destroy their mind or body and they want to take their own life." Some 56% said yes, where 37% said no. voters in Oregon twice approved allowing assisted suicide there; other states have shown that assisted suicide is not popular. In 1997, Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act, making it the only state to permit physician assisted suicide.

    One of the most important public policy debates today surrounds the issues of euthanasia and assisted suicide. The outcome of that debate will profoundly affect family relationships, interaction between doctors and patients, and concepts of basic ethical behavior. Around the world, euthanasia is only legal is some areas. In The Netherlands, euthanasia and assisted suicide had been legalized on April 10th, 2001. The Dutch Parliament approved the “Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide Act.” The offenses of euthanasia and assisted suicide are not punishable if they have been “committed by a physician who has met the requirements of due care.

    With the passage of the “Rights of the Terminally Ill Act,” in 1995, Australia became the only jurisdiction in the world with both legalized assisted suicide and euthanasia. This law went into effect in July of 2006. It was repealed in 1997. The Australia Medical Association opposed the Northern Territorial legislation while it continues to oppose both euthanasia and assisted suicide.

    The Belgian Act legalized euthanasia on May 28th, 2002 and went into effect in September of that year. It limits euthanasia to competent adults and emancipated minors. However, two years later, lawmakers introduced a proposal to extend euthanasia to children and individuals suffering from dementia, a disease in the brain.

    Euthanasia and assisted suicide advocates in the United States will continue to push their agenda throughout the world to make death-on-demand accepted and legal. As of early 2005, no other countries have legalized either euthanasia or assisted suicide.

    One well-known man best associated with this issue is, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, also known as, "Dr. Death." He is famous for his quotation, “death is not a crime.” He is a controversial American pathologist. He is most noted for publicly championing a terminal patient’s “right to die” and claims to have assisted over 130 patients to that end. In 1989, Kevorkian invented the Thanatron, which translates from Greek to English as the "Death Machine. The Thanatron was Kevorkian's tool that he used in many physician-assisted suicides. Physician assisted suicide is when it is a doctor who helps another person to kill themselves. The machine operated through the use of intravenous drip to administer various doses of fluids to facilitate the death of a patient. Typically, the first dose, which is administered by the patient, was a drug called thiopental. This drug acts as a sleeping agent that sends the patient's body into a comatose state. He was imprisoned in 1999, serving ten to twenty-five year prison sentence for second degree murder in the 1988 poisoning of Thomas Youlk. He has just recently been released from prison on June 1, 2007 yet isn’t expected to live very long due to his case of hepatitis C.

    Theresa Marie "Terri" Schiavo was a woman who suffered brain damage and became dependant on a feeding tube. She had collapsed in her home on February 25th, 1990 being only twenty six years old and experienced respiratory and cardiac arrest, leading to 15 years of institutionalization and a diagnosis of persistent vegetative state (PVS). Terri’s husband, Michael requested and received from Judge George Greer in Clearwater, Florida- the right to dehydrate Terri to death by removing her feeding tube. Terri’s parents have fought for their daughter’s life, but after five years, the courts turned their backs. Despite testimony by credible medical experts that Terri might still be able to relearn to eat by mouth, Judge Greer refused to even allow her that opportunity. Terri’s feeding tube was removed on October 15th, 2003.

    People who believe that euthanasia should most definitely be illegal are less facts to back up their opinions. Administration of a lethal injection would provide a quick and painless death, whereas letting die maybe neither quick nor painless. Patients are under the illusion that natural death is in general, a painless, dignified slipping away However, it can take a long and unpredictable course.

    To put things quite clearly, a person who has a deadly illness and seems to be suffering greatly from this illness definitely has the right to end his life. The person's immediate family should have the right to decide to pull the plug and end their family member's life if they believe that this action will be in the best interest of their family member. The government and the courts have no right in deciding who has the right to die or not in the issue of assisted suicide in people with great amount of pain. A suffering person should not have to suffer if he does not want to.
