But the same report hailed by Rogers as "a third year of good news" was said

by a prominent critic of Oregon's law to confirm that "the assisted-suicide

experiment has failed." Dr. Gregory Hamilton of Physicians for
Compassionate Care says that Oregon officials monitoring the practice of
assisted suicide "have neglected to report meaningful results." Case reports
are chiefly self-reporting by the physicians involved, and no effort is made to
find "complications" or problems not reported by those assisting the suicide
[PCC press release, 2/21/01].

The Oregon Health Division reported 27 deaths from physician-assisted

suicide in 2000, the same number as in 1999. The only case it found of
incomplete compliance with the Act was one in which a physician submitted a
consent form signed by one witness instead of two. Dr. Hamilton notes,
however, that the chief case of assisted suicide to receive extensive news
reporting in 2000 showed more irregularities than this.
Argumentative essays are a great way to state your opinion through writing.
If you have never written an argumentative essay you might be wondering
what it is. Well an argumentative essay is exactly what is called it’s an essay
where the writer argues in favor of a certain point and during the essay he
uses many elements to convince his audience why he is right. A good
argumentative essay is one that has contains six elements which are thesis,
personal background, historical background, common ground, definition and
arguments.
The first part of any great argumentative essay is a great thesis. When you are
writing the thesis you have to make sure it’s clear and argumentative. Your
main purpose of this writing is to offer the reader another point of view and
not necessarily to persuade him to change his opinion. For example, if you
wanted someone to do something for you, you wouldn't start arguing with
them instead you would use a more persuasive approach. Similarly, when you
write the thesis think more about stating a clear but argumentative
statement rather than a persuasive because if you are to persuasive then it
becomes a persuasive essay. An example of a unfocused thesis statement
would be “Oregon should provide money for companies to provide paid
internships to teach people trade skills. Instead Oregon gives money to
people to go to college.”
