However, the many complications associated with the legalisation of active euthanasia (and euthanasia in general) must be identified and addressed. These identified complications may be eliminated with an appropriate regulatory regime. Assuming

Many students present a paper, especially one authored by someone else, by talking through it section by section or page by page. The student reads out the definitions and points the audience to the figures. Anything in italics is read out.

Believing this fallacy was an example of my inability at the time to think through implications because it resulted in my failure to follow through with necessary medical treatment for my child.

Within this fallacy the statistics that go along with it are inaccurate because they show a favor for gun regulation. McClurg (2013) states that 55.5% of Americans support gun regulation. They believe that gun regulation
