Is killing ever
good? In The Giver, a novel by author Lois Lowry, the community
uses euthanasia for what they called release. The book is about
Jonas, a 12-year-old boy who is assigned to be the receiver of

what release really meant. Jonas didnt like the idea of
euthanasia. He wanted to change the rule for release but he knew
that, that wouldnt work. Jonas wanted to change the way of his
community but knew he couldnt. For me killing is never good and

jail, or prison. This is not compassionate because people deserve
more than 3 chance for life, instead of instant killing people
