Lowering the legal drinking age

I also think this is a hot topic. It’s a hard one to decide on because no matter if a person is underage they will find a way to get alcohol. I don’t think it makes much sense to be able to smoke, purchase porn, vote and join the military at 18, but you can’t purchase alcohol until 21. There needs to be just one set age for everything and I’m not sure if 18 is the age. I think the military is a good thing for high school graduates that really have a passion to make the military their career, but as far as the rest it doesn’t make sense.

Assisted Suicide

Is assisted suicide right? I’m currently an LVN working toward my bachelors in nursing which makes healthcare topics important to me. I’ve seen patients in their last days of life and I don’t think they are mentally able to decide on a lethal injection. Depression is a big factor when it comes to suicide in general and there are medications that can treat depression rather that ending a life. Hospice is excellent at keeping patients comfortable and pain free during the end stages of life which makes it a more ethical decision over assisted suicide.
