People are probaly confused at the fact that society approving people to be euthanized. Obviously, if it was stated in a letter to the editor in the Detroit Free Press entitled, Death, Dignity.

How selfish and inhumane that is. Why dont they just slit their wrist, which doesnt cost anything?Next the writer enthocen...
