- ... dead with one blow to the head. In an effort to uphold military law and regulation, Captain Vere holds a trial in which he manipulates the reluctant court into convicting Billy and sentencing him to death. But his death was not agonizing or tortuous. It was instead, majestic: “At the same moment it chanced that the vapory fleece hanging low in the East was shot through with a soft glory as of the fleece ... the Lamb of God seen in mystical vision, and simultaneously therewith, watched by the wedged mass of upturned faces, Billy ascended, and, ascending, took the full rose of the dawn.” Such glory and beauty in death can only be achieved by those who are truly ready and without regret, as Billy was. The question, then, is presented. Innocence or wisdom? Which philosophy, which way of life is more correct? Claggart, ...
- 694: Essay On The Stranger
- In ¡°The Stranger¡±, Albert Camus misleadingly portrays his existentialistic views of life, death, and the world.

Meaursalt eventually senses guilt for his crime, not because of the remorse of taking someone else¡¯s life, but because it means he would lose the little things that he considers important in his life ... good reason he shoots four more times, the body lying on the ground.

- ... is definitely finite, and it should be. Just think what would happen if nobody ever died. Even though we are mortal, we try to hang onto our lives as long as we can. Fear of death and wanting to live forever are, after all, part of human nature. Sometimes, however, medicine takes advantage of this aspect of humanity and, to a great extent, capitalizes on it. While it is certainly true ... not uncommon for the same person to be completely against another form. There are cases in which euthanasia is wrong, especially cases involving conscious people who are not really in a lot of pain, seeking death.

- 696: Euthanasia
- Euthanasia An eighty-seven year old grandmother on a respirator, a newborn child with AIDS, and a father in a coma, all put to death by doctors with the O.K. of their families. But is it really O.K.? Euthanasia, or doctor assisted suicide, has become as common as jumping off of a fifteen story building or taking a gun to ones own head. Society frowns upon suicide, but putting an old lady or man in a coma to death, is being accepted everyday. Society knows that suicide is bad, but Euthanasia is even worse. The guilt and blame of the lost life is falling on the hands of doctors that we are suppose to trust, and even worse, the family members themselves. A doctor is to be known as a healer, not an agent of death. A family is supposed to love and support, not kill and inherit. Every person makes the light of the world brighter. The world needs everyone’s power and contribution. It’s the power and ...
- 697: The Right to Die
- The Right to Die Death with dignity, isn't that the way we all dream of dying? Dying of old age is dignified. When one dies of old age, one's heart just stops; it is quick and painless. But diseases such as AIDS and cancer are long-term. When someone is told he has a terminal disease, he is usually given his date of death. Until that date of death, all he can do is suffer. The patient must go through the pain and suffering of the illness, not to get better, but to die. All people are given the right to live; we ...
