Position Analysis on Wennberg

Today, controversy toward euthanasia is important. Some people agree with euthanasia, and others disagree with euthanasia.
 I think Wennberg agrees with euthanasia. In order to support his position, Wennberg uses three types of evidence; language expression, views point from religion, and medical experts' opinions. I will explain Wennberg’s position based on three types of evidence.

Firstly, Wennberg shows his position in language expression. Wennberg said “the Christian community should at least seriously consider euthanasia as a lethal and moral possibility.” Many religious people disagree with euthanasia, then Wennberg suggests that the Christian reconsider about euthanasia. So it can be said Wennberg agree with euthanasia.

Secondly, Wennberg uses viewｓ point from religion to support his position. For example, Wennberg quotes Leslie Weatherhead's opinion, who is a clergyman. According to Leslie Weatherhead, it is not valuable to keep living against own will when patient lo dignity of human because of illness. As I mentioned former, a lot of people in the Christian community disagree with euthanasia, but some in the Christian community agree with Leslie Weatherhead because it can be considered euthanasia is not against Christianity. Wennberg emphasize the minority of the Christian community which agree with euthanasia, so Wennberg’s position is for euthanasia.

Thirdly, Wennberg uses medical expert’s opinion to support his position. For example, Wennberg quotes the words of physician, Leonard Colebrook. According to Leonard Colebrook, the suffering for cancer patient is not only physical but also mental. Euthanasia can save the patient from the suffering. Leonard Colebrook agree with euthanasia and it can be support Wennberg’s position.

In conclusion, I analyze that Wennberg agrees with euthanasia based on three types of evidence; language expression, views point from religion, and medical experts' opinions. However Wennberg does not always agree with euthanasia.  He sometimes says opposition, but his mainly position is for euthanasia. Therefore, Wennberg agrees with euthanasia.

RCA reflection

  I learned a lot through ELA. In this term RCA, I always read text with thinking questions and answers, and I tried to explain others in the class. I think this process was really important. I was able to consider well and make incomprehensible part clearly. And I learned the sort of citation.Wennberg used a lot of excerpts in the text. I learned it is important to analyze ①auther's name ②main idea ③why auther use the excerpt. I would like to study hard the rest of winter term!
