1. Reflecting Of Mice and Men
a.) In the book Of Mice and Men, the character George shoots what could be called his "best friend" in the head ending his life. The reasons for his action was one, he did not want his best friend to fall into the hands of Curley. If Curley were to catch up with Lennie before George did, Curley would've tortured Lennie and then kill him. Also George was realizing that Lennie was too much trouble. When they ran away from Weed it was because Lennie was just feeling a lady's; he got so into it that the lady took it the wrong way and had men chase after them. The same thing happened with the the place they were currently working at.
b.) In my opinion I think that ending Lennie's life that way was not the best thing for him. I think this because everyone has the right to make a living for him or herself no matter what the mental capacity. Lennie wasn't "bright" but he still was a good worker, sure he might of not been an influence in society but you never know. If he was probably held by a tighter leash he might of still been alive.
2. Father in Italy Accused of Murder
a.) "Late last year, 67-year-old Beppino Englaro, won an intense 10-year legal battle to allow his daughter's feeding tubes to be removed, saying that was her wish. The court accepted that before the accident, his daughter had expressed a preference for dying over being kept alive artificially." The father decided to end his daughter's life because of a death wish she had wrote. He felt like he had to respect his daughter's wishes. He probably also thought how painful it would living like a vegetable.
b.) "...his daughter had expressed a preference for dying over being kept alive artificially." In my opinion I think that her father's decision was the best thing for her. This is because she knew she would of stayed a 'vegetable' and did not want to live that type of life. There really that could be done for her.
c.) I agree with what the father did because if my daughter or son told me that he or she would rather die than live a life of a "vegetable" I would perform euthanasia on them. IF there any other way I could keep he or she alive, and he or she can live a "normal" life like "normal" people I wouldn't perform euthanasia.
3. Father kills wife and five children
a.) The father of this article killed his wife and his five children. There are many reasons for the father to do this. One, is that he in his mind was already set that he and his wife were already going to commit suicide leaving his children in the hands of others. He did not want this because his children were going to grow up knowing that their parents committed suicide. Also people would have thought that their children came from a crazy family and would not want his children anymore. He paranoid about not getting a another job because he has a family that includes a wife and five children.
b.) The parents can keep telling their children at a younger age, " Go to school, go to school..." because it has been proven scientifically that when a child is at a younger age and is told this advice, the child is more proned to go to school and go to an university. For teenage problems, the parents should really sit down and talk to their teens and listen to what their kids have to say or else it will cause a mental distortion in the mind. Later in life the kid will more likely take extreme actions like the father that killed his wife and five kids.
