Assisted Suicide

AP English, what a class.  We are being forced to compose a persuasive research paper within the next two weeks.  We were able, however, to pick the subject of our research paper.  Mine, after careful consideration, is on the topic of assisted suicide. 

As I am sitting here looking up information to go into my project I can’t help but become more opposed to the topic.  If a person is in the hospital dying of some terminal disease it is there own choice to take their life, but when they bring someone else into the matter it changes things.  It is no longer suicide it is now homicide.  No one person has the right to ‘play God’.

To think, if our country ever legalized this we would never be able to tell who was asking for help to die and who had no choice in the matter.  This would not only impede our justice system but also prevent the families of those people from ever knowing the truth.

I have a feeling that this assignment is going to be interesting, to say the least.  Hip hip horay for the eight page paper due in two weeks.
