My homework for this week was to answer this question: “Currently there is an ethical dilemma regarding terminally ill individuals and their right to die. Do you believe an individual has the right to die? Should medical professionals use extensive measures to prolong the life of a terminally ill patient?

Read all about it after the jump.
