Personally, I disagree with euthanasia. I don't
think God intended for man to decide when, where,
and how to take Sometimes we as humans feel we are
helping others and in actuality end up hurting
more than anything. A prime example is Dr.
Kevorkian. Kevorkian assisted approximately thirty
people with euthanasia. He and his patients
thought they were helping to end a life of pain
and misery. In reality, they left behind more pain
and misery than peace. I think it was morally
wrong to let Kevorkia...

delivering so early in the pregnancy, fetal
