FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).

According to Professor Arthur Rifkin, euthanasia "can reduce suffering" that comes from "unkind treatmeant" and "insensitive care givers" (Rifkin 9).

Disagreeing with the legalization of euthanasia, "killing the sufferer" might just be "the cheapest and easiest way" to make "the painful sight go away" (Budziszewski 14).

On the moral side, it is "innapropriate" to allow someone to "suffer unneccesarily", especially against their wishes (Terry 21).

According to a Roman Catholic preist, Euthanasia is "contrary to Christian Beliefs" because alothough the person is in pain, it is "permitted by God for a specific reason" (Thorton 39).

Diane Meier brings up a point that legalization may "lead to abuse" and that the "risks outweigh the benefits"(Meier 43).
