Class A Discussion Topic: Euthanasia

I chose 'euthanasia' as a discussion topic this week. Please click on the link below to see the relevant article before class.

http://www.lifenews.com/2015/11/10/sisters-face-questions-after-sending-their-mother-to-a-euthanasia-clinic-to-kill-her/

The questions we will cover in class are as follows:

1. Do you support euthanasia or not?

2. Do you think Korea should legalize euthanasia?

3. Have you thought about carrying out euthanasia for your own case?

4. Most people who choose euthanasia often think that they wan't to die with dignity by not imposing a burden to their family. How do you think? 

5. Would you take the same actions as the two sisters in the article if your mom requests the same thing?

6. Are there any other better way to save people who suffer from extreme diseases or illnesses from their excruciating pain?

I think this article is interesting because it deals with North Korean refugees as well as the importance of having a hope to survive. I think this video is worth being discussed in class. :)
