    We came to the conclusion that we wouldn’t do it because it’s the biggest responsibility. This question should be discussed with his/her parents, doctor and relatives. But one thing is clear for sure that a person shouldn’t suffer.

      I quite agree with you. The level of responsibility is quite high in this case but the primary concern is helping the patient not to suffer.

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability.
