EUTHANASIA
What is the meaning of life? What makes a person's life meaningful? This is the most frequently asked question since the beginning of time. Is there really an answer or definition to "The Meaning of Life?" How is one's life validated when a person is dying from terminal illness or suffers from chronic or degenerative illness? The Meaning of Life-in terms of Euthanasia-has come into the media's attention over the last several years and people argue as to whether or not a person who is terminally ill, or disabled, should have the right or not to ask their doctor, or relatives, to die by Euthanasia.

Euthanasia consideration will affect everyone at some point or another within their life, such as having to deal with a child, parent, grandparents becoming terminally ill, brain injury, age, etc. These issues are also allowing me to view my own beliefs and moral thinking about Euthanasia so that I am better prepared in a social work profession about my opinion in terms of Euthanasia, should the clients that I serve ever be in such a situation.
