Legal abortion is an abortion that allowed by the law. Some country...

People Who Are Suffering Die With Dignity
1,216 wordsWhen we hear the word euthanasia, most of us automatically associate it with the act of murder-suicide. We also immediately refer to the so-called Dr. Kevorkian who has personally assisted suicides. Euthanasia may not be our natural way to die, but who determines what that is?
