The third small print source I found was called "Euthanasia" by an unknown author. The article begins mainly talking about what euthanasia is. In case you didn't know, euthanasia "is the act of either painlessly causing the death or failing to prevent death from occurring from natural causes in an individual with a terminal illness or in an irreversible coma". The article goes on to talk about the origins of euthanasia. The article displays many court cases on euthanasia and shown how it has evovled from the early 1900s to now.

This is a very good article because it tells a lot what euthanasia is and how it's medical advances relate to the public. What I also like is how it talks about the controversy of subject. Obviously euthanasia is controversial, but the article does a very good job of going into detail of the opinions of the public.
