This is the story of Said Hyder Akbar. It is a interesting book because it is real and also it is such a different experience from the normal experiences of a California teen. Most teens don't sit in on important meetings but Hyder is sitting in of meetings of Afghanistan's government. also he is getting a chance to sit in on history being made, that is a chance that almost no one gets. one thing he did that was humorous was in the prologue when he got in the airport and everyone thought he was a terrorist.

euthanasia

Euthanasia is when a doctor helps a ends a life in a painless manner. The are 4 main forms, animal euthanasia, voluntary and involuntary human euthanasia ,and assisted suicide. as of this year some forms of euthanasia are legal in Belgium,Luxembourg,The Netherlands, Switzerland, the U.S. states Oregon and Washington, Spain, Thailand. Some places not only allow euthanasia but legally don't consider it suicide.
Euthanasia is classified by two factors consent and means. Consent splits euthanasia into 2 types voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. Involuntary euthanasia is when another person makes the decision for a person who is unable to. the means splits euthanasia into 3 other groups active, non-active, and passively.passive it the withholding of food or treatment. non-active is the withdrawal of life support. and active is the use of lethal substances or force to kill.
I believe that euthanasia should be legal every where. euthanasia should be a choice, healthy people all have the choice to die, why shouldn't sick people. also the quality of life should be taken into concideration, if the physical or emotional pain is too much than they should have the choice to die. finnally if a person wants to die and we are keeping them alive than we are waisting time an money on them when we could use the resourses on saving people who want to live.
