For Mercys Sake Summary

Patrick Martins For Mercys Sake has gotten mixed reaction on the
controversial but important topic of euthanasia. It is illegal in Canada,
but many people still have ways to aid themselves in ending their lives.
Organizations such as the Oregon based Hemlock Society and
Torontos dying with dignity have seen their populations sky rocket
over the past few years. The Netherlands, one of the few countries that
allows euthanasia has nearly twenty-thousand reported cases of
killings. Experts have two theories as to why so many mercy killings
are occurring: The advanced medical technologies that keeps people
alive and the disease AIDS. So this is why people euthanize
themselves.
