Naja Leak, 19,-said, "I think letting them die is better than letting the person suffer. If a person wants to die instead ol living in agony, it's his right." Willie Stevens, 23, stated, "If the person could speak for themselves I don't think they would want to be killed. Who . has the right to end anyone's life?" Boyd Willis, 44, answered, : "I think if a person's relatives don't want the person kept alive by these means they should have the right to stop it." Gail Enwright, 24, commented, "I don't think a person should be kep^ breathing if there is no chance of their recovery. Why try to cheat death?" Angela Chastin, 22, answered, "I feel that if a machine is keeping you alive then they should be allowed to die. If God is keeping them alive they won't die." J.H. Kirkland, 54, said, "It's Gods job to keep people alive. They shouldn't try to keep people alive with -- - ii? macmnes. ii mey turn the machine and it's Gods will for the person to live they will live. If it's His will for them to die they will die." Floyd Walters, 22, commented, "They are sending people to the gas chambers. Mercy killing is more merciful than that. If a person has for all practical purposes ceased to live, then they should be allowed to die." Most of the people A 1 r ? ? lmerviewea ieit tnat a person should be allowed^ to die if they are being kept alive by a machine and have no chance ? of recovery. One man who passed stated. "If you can't -live j without the aid of a machine, then you're already dead." i
