This is from the book the giver WELP.

We now know for sure what "Release" means. When the elderly/sick/infants are "Released" they are humanely euthanized (put to sleep/killed).

Respond to the following questions:

1. Why would The Community euthanize people like this? What's the point? (1-2 sentences)
2. Do you think this is a valid reason/practice? Why/why not? (2-3 sentences)
3. There are clinics around the world that, if a person requests due to severe illness/disability, will allow them to euthanize themselves. However, in many states/countries/territories including in the US, it is illegal. Do you think severely ill/disabled/dying people should be allowed to "Request Release" in our world? Why/Why not? (2-3 sentences)

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
