In The Odyssey, Odysseus says “ There will be killing till the score is paid,” this is evidence that he doesn’t know how to handle his rage and takes it all out without mercy. (Line 1284) In addition, Homer writes “ Fight your way out, or run for it, if you think you’ll escape death. I doubt one man of you skins by…” this is an example of how his uncontrollable

Assisted Suicide Teresa Grass PHI200: Mind and Machine Instructor: David Tredinnick June 25, 2012 My point of view on assisted suicide I believe it a sin.

I know that everyone will continue to “love him highly and shall continue [their] graces towards him” (I.vi,37-38). For my husband, even though as king now, does not deserve the honor and loyalty that Duncan had. My husband is truly a monster for killing someone so gracious and kind. Especially when Duncan had referred to him as one of his closest soldiers. Macbeth’s “false face [had hid what his] false heart doth kn[e]w” (I.vii.95-96) and deceived our beloved King Duncan. Especially rude since he

the time to do so. Therefore, doctors have to debate the question of euthanasia – a question that each one of us should ponder long before we are put in this situation.
