1. Chapter 3 in the Hinman text begins with two narratives from people facing the questions surrounding euthanasia. Perhaps more than other moral issue discussed this semester, students have personal experience with euthanasia.
In this discussion forum, you are asked to share any personal experiences with issues and questions related to euthanasia and end of life decisions, and to react to the experiences of other students. PLEASE be respectful of others’ opinions and experiences in this discussion. You should keep your remarks focused on the themes mentioned in the two narrative accounts in the textbook and on any personal experience you might have with euthanasia. Avoid being judgmental and overly critical of others’ experiences.
