These Things May Seem The Same, But They Have Some Pretty Important Differences

The Worst Class Project Mistake You Can Make

One student found out the hard way that “euthanasia” and “youth in Asia” are two very different things. Even though he had to live out his mistake on the internet, most people agreed with him that the terms were confusing. Euthanasia means the conscious ending of one’s own life to stop pain and suffering. It is also known as assisted suicide. Every country has different laws on it, but if legal, terminally ill patients or people in comas would be able to end their suffering.

Youth in Asia is just a reference to kids in Asia and is not a major bioethical debate. Patrick and John managed to turn it into a crisis, but it’s probably best to know the difference if you ever end up in a real discussion about it.
