Hello all,
First of all, My name is Devyn-Reilly. I am part of the class of 2010 in Casco Bay High School, and this blog is my action project. An action project for what? Well, every junior commits to a controversial topic that affects our nation and becomes as knowledgeable about it as they can. The student researches their topic, writes papers, and makes a presentation that is presented to a panel of experts. The next part of the project is to make and try to follow through with an action project.
The title of this project is Public Policies.. And for my class it started in early October and has yet to end. as you might have surmised from the title of this blog, my topic was and is the legalization of physician aid-in-dying. Also known as physician-assisted suicide, it is legal in two states; OR and WA, and has a precedent in MO.
On this blog I would like to make the feelings of terminally-ill patients, family, friends and anybody who, like me, feels that this topic needs to be at least talked about. I do not aim to attack anybody for their beliefs, though I will bring up some touchy subjects, I will explain why everything is posted. If one has a problem with something I say, I will welcome any polite and well crafted comments. I will delete any comments with foul language, or that attack a group, or anything I find that could be considered rude or demeaning. I understand that this topic is very controversial and that people get very opinionated, and keeping this in mind I hope that everyone who reads my posts will be respectful and find themselves thinking more about what is legal and what is not, as well as what they feel should be legal and what the feel should not be.
I will post some of the material that I used during this project as soon as I can. If you have a story that relates to this topic or someone you know does I would love to hear it... or read it. I think that is everything... TTFN!
