The Interactive Notebook

Discussion - Ethuanasia (Part Two: Research Essay)

I am not just "Anna's sister". I am not just " Michael's daughter". I am not just "Ethan's girlfriend." I am who I am. I am Abby. I am me.

A lot of the time I find myself trying to hide behind these titles. I rarely allow myself to be simply me. This comes from a series of different feelings... Fear of being alone, insecurity... And maybe you're just like me. Well, today God has allowed me to realize that this is not right. I need to stop cowering away in the shadows of the world, step out into the spotlight, and just be me! God has also lead me to share that with you, and I pray that it was exactly what one of you needed to hear today. You are worth it! You are good enough! You. Are. You. And you are amazing, beautiful, and worth every second of God's time. I hope you let that sink into your heart. You. Are. Worth. It. God loves you and He doesn't make trash (no matter how many trash jokes you make about yourself!). I love you and I also believe that you are worth it or else I wouldn't be taking time out of my day to say all of this to you. I wouldn't have started this book. I wouldn't be here at all if I didn't care. I hope you don't just take these words and throw them out the window. Take them. Believe them. Use them.

You are worth it all.

Did you know that I have a special notebook dedicated to kinds words and encouragement that I get from you lovely Wattpaders? I get so much and it makes me incredibly joyful, but not just for my own sake but for God's. By your words I know that I am doing good service for my King and that's all I ever wish for.

Sorry, I just started blabbing. Onto today's subject!!!

Remember our little discussion over euthanasia? Well, I FINALLY got my essay back from my English teacher (scored a 100% WOOT WOOT! SO HAPPY AND PROUD!!), so I thought I would share it with you guys!

Feel free to tell me what you think, if you agree or disagree with one of the points made, all that stuffs! I'm thrilled to see how this turns out! :D

The Case Against Legalizing Euthanasia (in America)

If the world was comprised of a single, shared religion, the case against euthanasia would be simple. God directly told us in the sixth commandment, "thou shalt not kill." Unfortunately, the world was not made that way. Instead, it consists of over seven billion individuals with morals and beliefs unique to each. Some stand firm on the belief that they have the personal right to decide the time, manner, and place of their death while others believe that the matter of life and death is not in their hands but God's. However, even with these varied standards, a valid argument against the acceptance and legalization of euthanasia can still be found.
