If a person was not buried, then it was thought to be insulting to that person and their family.

Is it true that people think it’s not morally right to kill a person, but that it’s morally acceptable to let them die?

This highly debatable topic was portrayed in John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men, where George shoots his…

Suicide is one issue that remains controversial to this day. In the eyes of some, suicide is one way to get out of a world that seems to torment them endlessly. They think that all the pain can be removed by "Death". To those who think rationally, suicide is an act totally unreasonable. It cuts short the most natural thing in existence.

From drinking too much to contracting rabies is what really matters. Some believe that Poe’s death was caused because of alcohol while others believe it was due to an animal infection that led to rabies. It can be clearly stated that alcohol was not the main component that led to the last line of Poe’s motivated life. For example, “Poe’s Final Days” from Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never- Ending Remembrance Kenneth Silverman states that “Apparently flooded with drink, he may have also been ill…

The act of euthanasia or mercy killing is a debated ethical dilemma that some believes to be morally wrong. While circumstances can differentiate a person’s justifications, there is always another perspective to consider where euthanasia is involved.
