My topic for Essay 2 is about the active euthanasia in Japan. I chose this topic because I thought euthanasia would be a more common issue in the near future. The development of medical technology enabled people to live much more longer than they used to, and the end of life, and the right of self-determination started to be a problematic issue than before. My thesis statement for the moment is " Euthanasia should be allowed and the patient should be able to make the decision when they have consciousness, because of the self-determination rights, or when the patient does not have the consciousness, the people who are in charge of mental, physical and financial support should be able to make the decision, because the support could be a load. However, the case should be limited when the disease is impossible to cure, and the doctors should be involved in the decision making."
This is a very well thought-out thesis statement and very usable for our next essay. While the conditions placed on the conditional acceptance of active euthanasia stated in the claim come in an additional sentence (thereby dividing the thesis into to two sentences), I do not see this as a problem. It will be important to organize well in the outlining in order to make it clear that there is only one clear claim, and that all other ideas are supportive of the one claim.
