My favorite character

My favorite character is a hard question. I would have to say it would be Slim. I like Slim because of how he is in charge and everyone listens to him. Slim is not one of those guys that is against everyone else and how he doesn't look for things that can get in trouble so they can get more work or be liked by the boss more. Slim is one of those guys that goes out of his way to help you and he is there for everyone. When Lennie is dead Slim comforts George and he helps him with all of the other guys. Slim is the one guy that Curley actually listen to what he says, even though he doesn't do it he still listens. Slim is the head rancher which is a important job, you have to be really good at your job to get that promotion. If Slim were my friend I think we would get along because of how we are so alike, in almost every way. When Lennie dies I think that Slim was not as close to him as George was and he was still depressed that Lennie still had to die, death is never a good thing.

Euthanasia

Euthanasia- The painless for of killing of a patient or someone that is for there own good, or to put them out of there misery. Euthanasia is illegal in some countries because the countries think that the person who is going to die should decide for themselves what they are going to do. I believe that it should be allowed every where because it is a good way to die, you will not suffer or be in any more pain.  It will relieve you and you will just be able to rest and just go, it would be so much better than waiting through all the pain. They both have the same outcome, just one is less painful. In medical practice it should be not only allowed but even like offered to those who are at a stage in there life if the feel they have had enough and it will ease all of there pain. This is one thing I do feel strongly about is how this is not the first option for children ever. There should never be a case where there is like a six year old boy with a flu and there is more than a 50/50 chance of living to die by euthanasia, I hope that will never happen.
