When the speaker states, “ O let us”, he is welcoming the presence of death and whatever comes their way into the situation. He accepts the fact that they will die for standing up for what they believe in, and as long as they die a noble death, he is accepting that fact. These people have the courage to stand up to their oppressors, whether they are going to die or not. They are courageous enough to sacrifice their lives for what they believe to be right. The speaker then proceeds to imply, “The monsters we defy shall be constrained to honor us though dead ( Source B ).”

There are some people in the world that do things for others just to get something in return, and then their are people that just do for others because they are good people. In Walter Dean Myers short story,”Big Joe’s Funeral,” the main character Big Joe cancels his life insurance check and after careful contemplation the idea he decides to have a funeral for himself, while he is still alive. Everyone that knew what Big Joe was doing had contrary opinions to the funeral, but Big Joe had his mind set. At the funeral Big Joe looked like he was deceased and it was very normal; people had good words to say about him and he even had dirt thrown on his coffin. Myers uses Big Joe to deliver his message that respect is that people deserve respect all of the time no matter where you are or what the circumstances.

(Silence is in the room, you could hear a pin drop) Mariam: You did not… You did not! After all this time it was you! (remembering what she had said the day she found her family dead) I swore that day that I would find the murder. I swore that I would end his life!

I believe what they chose in the case study would be the best outcome for the children and the parents. The inevitable death would come sooner or later, and letting them pass away naturally by cardiac arrest would provide enough comfort for the parents to know they did not perform any bodily harm, and reduce their quality of

On the grounds of using justice people (should) want to respectfully bury the person who has died by taking every step to make the body presentable, planning a funeral, and leaving the body left alone as much as possible. But, if the organs are harvested for donation that would not be just and would not respect the deceased. On the other hand, should mercy be given to those who are still living? Would it be honorable of the John doe to make one last effort at helping people by having his organs donated? By practicing mercy on the living we are giving them the opportunity to live, and with that life they can influence others in a positive light and make the world a better

The reason why it can be argued, is because throughout the play she shows how she is loyal to her family and she will not stop being loyal and also how she kills herself instead of suffering. Throughout the play, Antigone shows her loyalty for her family, one of the ways she does this is by burying her brother knowing it would result in consequences because it was against the law. “ But I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me”(1023). Antigone is explaining

The power of presence also plays a role in a good death. In the 19th century Americans called this “bearing witness.” To bear witness means being there, being present at the bedside of the dying person as a form of comfort and having the ability to give testimony that the dying person was at peace. As Thomas Lynch stated in “Good Grief: An Undertaker’s Reflections,” the good death is the one that happens when we are among our own, surrounded…by faces of family and people who care. It is the death of a whole person, not an ailing part” (243).

The argument against this is that in passive euthanasia the doctors do not do anything to cause the patient’s death

Pro-Euthanasia arguments have stemmed from the following views: People have an explicit right to die by implication of other human rights, being construed as a private matter and there is no harm to others hence should have no interference from the state and other people. Human beings have the right to die when and how they want to: an excerpt from the Independent, March 2002 states that “in cases where there are no dependents who might exert pressure one way or the other, the right of the individual to choose should be paramount. So long as the patient is lucid and his or her intent is clear beyond doubt, there need be no further questions (7). Without creating (or acknowledging) a specific right to die, it is possible to argue that other human rights ought to be taken to include this right.

Now, people that support euthanasia have the same opinions that Chief Bromden had. “Contemporary advocacy for euthanasia centers on compassion for patients whose suffering is considered incapable of relief in any other way or who wish to avoid what they fear will be an undignified death” (Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia). Since McMurphy was no longer able to make decisions for himself, Bromden thought killing him would give him the most dignified death available. There are many situations in the real world where euthanasia can be debated; however, in the case of the story, McMurphy and Chief Bromden are best friends, and Bromden thought it would be just to end McMurphy’s life. Chief Bromden made the right decision even though it was not easy for him.

In his final remarks, Kevorkian states that Thomas Youk came to him because he needed someone to help him instead of just killing him. To add on to that, Kevorkian stated that if a doctor amputates a patient then it is okay because he is doctor. Because of that fact, he strongly believes that

ZURGABLE'S “So, do you know the man that owns Zurgable's hardware store at the top of the hill south of town? Of course you do.” A librarian at the Emmitsburg branch library laughs. “I love his patois.”

I’m afraid that I haven’t much time left as the rope will be my end. There is so much I wish to tell you, but I will have to make do with my remaining time. I hope to make you understand why I chose such a horrid fate. But first, I must address my betrayal of your mother. To think your mother was sick and in need of my help while I was with another women.

Massachusetts, 1692... what an awful time to be alive. Especially for a young, timid girl by the name of Clarabeth. Not exactly the most special of girls, just a hard worker for her family, an all around fair person. Unfortunately, Clarabeth woke from an unpleasant sleep with a start on a gloomy August twilight, to the sound of people shouting and an accused “witch” tied to a stake, crying with the force of a tidal wave, pleading to be let down.
