Answer 1

abortion - in my opinion, abortion has many values and beliefs attached to it. the fact that abortion is killing of a human life is unethical but we cannot deny the other side of it also. like in case of rape victims. for them, it is very hard for them to keep the baby and in such cases i feel it is totally alright to abort it. from the perspective of rape victims it is fine to abort the baby but different people have different opinions about it. people only see abortion as the killing of embryo.

right to die - in my opinion, life is one time offer and we face challenges everyday. we should not have right to die and committing suicide is a coward thing to do. but exceptions are always there - patients lying on death bed supported by machines where hope is very little but pain and sufferings are high. i cannot comment on that situation.

organ donation - organ donation is a very noble cause in a life of a person and even after life. i feel as human beings we should be helpful for people in any ways. for example - if we can survive on one kidney effectively then why can't we give our second kidney to needy people. this topic has very emotional perspectives attached to it. some people have a thought that why should they donate their organs to others and there should be a reason that they have two kidneys instead of one.
