Euthanasia is a topic that is a concern throughout the United States of America. I find this subject extremely infatuating for the potential controversy it contributes to the United States on a legal, moral and ethical standpoint. I personally knew of someone who's mother was very sick and committed suicide in a brutal way, which could have been prevented with the legalization of Euthanasia or even assisted suicide through a physician. Health is also takes a toll on my heart for I hope to be involved with health administration in the future as a career. Euthanasia is a topic of moral and ethical concerns. This topic severely affects my values because it goes against my religion, but I still believe in the process for it can diminish the pain and miserable lifestyle of several patients. As stated before, my personal experience has allowed me to alter my decision to being pro-euthanasia and assisted suicide. I simply do not believe that if someone is in a severe illness they shouldn't have to live in pain and suffering if they wish not to. 

Article "Euthanasia and Physician-assisted Suicide: Attitudes and Experiences of Oncology Patients, Oncologists, and the Public" displays the informational data of how Euthanasia affected Oncologists and patients. This article dates back to 1996 providing evidence that this process was an issue even in the past. The data clearly states that back in 1996, patients and oncologists were primarily hesitant to give an opinion or be pro-euthanasia. The support for Euthanasia was a bare minimum at the time. Although this article was extremely informational upon the views that were either for or against Euthanasia, the article doesn't really extend on specifically why the data of the research fell negative upon the idea of Euthanasia. This article only provides the data from the research and very few analyzations. Despite the lack of analyzation, this article is still indeed credible. This article provides a couple of individuals who are involved within research, data, or being g in the medical field. Because the article is revolved around collecting and researching data for a concern in the medical field, the authors have a lot of ethos that allows them to have credibility to discuss Euthanasia.

Media "Euthanasia: Mercy Killing or Murder?" is a video that questions Euthanasia and is answered by both an Oncologist and someone who is involved with the legal aspects of Euthanasia. This media provides general concerns from the public about Euthanasia. The two people that answered these questions reflected answers that were pro-euthanasia. This video provides a clear stance of being pro-euthanasia. This media does not provide answers that oppose Euthanasia or speaks of the opposing side of the argument. This creates bias and fails to present the full debate upon Euthanasia. This media is a huge TV network that's very popular within India. Due to the fact that this media is a legit network allows for this source to have credibility. The network is real and this specific show involves others that are credible to speak about Euthanasia, such as the Oncologist and the person that is involved with the legality of Euthanasia.

Article "Attitudes of Michigan Physicians and the Public Toward Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide and Voluntary Euthanasia" allows for us to see the progress of Euthanasia within the state of Michigan. The article doe not provide a clear stance for being for or against Euthanasia but does provide specific data that is interpreted that people are becoming more pro-euthanasia as time progresses.

This article strictly presents the facts of the opinions of primarily the public and doctors point of view of Euthanasia or Assisted-suicide. This article is similar to the first one, except the data collected shows an increase of supporters of Euthanasia and Assisted-Suicide. The data that was collected can be trusted because it is written by ones who are involved within the medical field.  Some of the authors have a M.D. themselves which in my opinion creates it to be the most credible source of all because those within a medical field have contributed to this medical research.

My strong passion with health, and my future studies and career in health has led me to possessing a strong interest and qualification to do research and voice an opinion about this topic.

This research question states a clear debate of a two sided opinion for whether Euthanasia and assisted-suicide should be legalized or illegalized throughout the United States. Due to the fact that there are no laws enacted, and there are two opposing views on complete opposite sides of the spectrum for whether this process should be allowed or not, creates a huge issue that needs to be discussed. These sources do agree that there are several patients who endure very painful illness and have considered Euthanasia and Assisted-Suicide as an option. These researches also provided an opposing idea against each other for one article proposed that Oncologist's prefer to not administer assisted-suicide to a patient for it goes against the idea of a doctor "helping" their patients back to healthy state of living. Reading the articles that are pro-Euthanasia allow me to feel secure within my opinion about being pro-Euthanasia. Although the idea of researching Euthanasia amongst the United States is specific, there is still uncertainty for whether the United States is too broad as supposed to researching and analyzing Euthanasia amongst a specific state.
