ignorace was bliss.

when i was in 8th grade we had to do a paper on a controversial topic. when i asked my friend, Lauren, what she would write about - assuming she'd say abortion, the death penalty or the like - you could imagine my surprise when she said "euthanasia".



i could NOT figure out what was so controversial about a child looking like this.
she MIGHT have been kind in replying, "no, not youth in asia...euthanasia", and continued to explain the Kevorkian controversies of the day.

That made me LOL. But I do remember not understanding what people were talking about when they said that (when I was younger).

I personally would rather read a paper on "Youth In Asia."

I did a speech on euthanasia in 8th grade! It was hard to get started because I really was looking for information under 'y' for youth.
