This site states the differences as well as the similarities between suicide and euthanasia. I think it's a good site because it breaks down euthanasia into all the possible categories (voluntary euthanasia, in-voluntary euthanasia, non-voluntary euthanasia) and goes into detail about each one. They are interrelated because in a euthanasia case, the patient could be depressed and that would be the reason for wanting euthanasia to be performed. Suicide becomes a choice for those who are depressed as well.

This site is about the murder of Reena Virk and the reason she was murdered. I chose a murder case to show the difference between the intentions of a murder and the intentions of a euthanasia case. I also chose it to emphasize why euthanasia should not be considered as murder. In this case, the girl was murdered because she was brown in a predominantly white society and because she was overweight. In other words, she didn't fit in. Therefore, the intentions were to harm and kill the individual.

The woman that wrote the text had to watch her mother go through excruciating pain for a year because she was suffering from cancer. Although this text on euthanasia is her opinion, I find this site interesting because she speaks from experience, of course not going through euthanasia, but watching someone very close to her not get euthanasia. She would have liked her mother to get euthanasia in order for the pain to stop. That experience makes her opinion all the more understandable.

This site includes text from the Hippocratic Oath and famous quotes talking about whether euthanasia violates this oath or not. The Hippocratic Oath is relevant to euthanasia because all doctors take this oath and a certain amount of them perform euthanasia. Some people think it violates the oath because of the aspects the oath contains, which opposes the whole concept of euthanasia. Of course, others think otherwise. Quotes from well known educators, lawyers etc. express their position.

This site explains what the Universal Declaration is about, what rights it protects and why it was approved.

This site talks about the Geneva Conventions, which are international treaties between places in the world that accept them. I think this is very relevant to the topic of torture because this site basically states everything that is right and what isn't right to do.They're principles.

This is about Canadian soldiers torturing people of Afghanistan. Most of the people were picked randomly; they were just local people. they were all most likely innocent. Steven Harper denies that he knew anything about it.
