Sommerville, Margaret A. Death Talk : The Case Against Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted

Suicide. Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2001. Print.

                 Margaret Sommerville brings up some very interesting points about why physician assisted suicide is wrong. While, this topic is a very controversial one Margaret holds steadfast in her beliefs and refuses to compromise when it comes to human lives. I think that her stubbornness may have also limited her audience and reduced the amount of people her message would have been heard by.

Warnock, Mary, and Elisabeth MacDonald. Easeful Death: Is There a Case for Assisted Dying.

Cary: Oxford University Press, 2008. Print.

              Both Mary Warnock and Elisabeth MacDonald share their experiences experiences of those whose family members have gone through hospice care and died from terminal diseases. They use the audiences emotions to sway them to their side. I believe that this is the most effective way when addressing a topic like this as we all die and many people have a fear of dying. I also believe that if the authors would have used more factual information that the message would have been better received. The authors could have added information like the different forms of assisted suicide, the different reasonable causes for assisted suicide, or the kinds of chemicals/ medicine that would be used in assisted suicide.
