At this point, he was subconsciously aware of the rejection, however the creature still had hope that he will one day be accepted.

This book is not easy to digest and definitely not for the faint of heart. It deals with a controversial subject that never fails to make my blood boil: rape. Every day, on the news, I always see reports of women, girls or even men raped, and every time I do, my heart cries out. And majority of the time

These are that the person has made an active and voluntary request to end their life, and it is thought they have sufficient mental capacity to make an informed decision regarding their care, and it is agreed that the person is suffering unbearably and there is no prospect for an improvement in their condition.

So why is it moral to allow a human being starve to death, when a simple lethal injection can cause a quick, painless, and dignified death. Suffering is surely not a pleasant

going on in their everyday life or they feel as though there is no point to living, they often begin to suffer with euthanasia.
