    Zeus.
    In Greek mythology is the king of the gods,the ruler of Mount Olympus, and god of the sky and thunder. Zeus is frequently envisaged by Greek artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward, a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand, or seated in majesty.

    Olympus.
    In the Greek mythology, Mount Olympus is symbolically the home of the Twelve Olympians, the principal gods in the Greek pantheon . The Greeks thought of it as built with crystal mansions wherein the gods, such as Zeus, dwelt. It is also known in Greek mythology that when Gaia gave birth to the Titans they used the mountains in Greece as their thrones since they were so huge, and Cronus sat on Mount Olympus itself.

    Nymphs.
    In Greek mythology, a nymph is any member of a large class of female entities in human form, that is either bound to a particular location, or landform, or is part of the retinue of a god, such as Dionysus, Hermes, or Pan, or a goddess, generally Artemis. Nymphs were the frequent target of satyrs. Nymphs live in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, and in valleys and cool grottoes.

    Swain.
    Swain is a traditional English surname derived ultimately from the Old Norse personal name Sveinn (Sven, Sweyn), meaning a youth, young man.

    Euthanasia

    Euthanasia is the process of helping a terminally ill person to die. It is also known as a person assisted someone’s suicide or even known as mercy killing. Euthanasia is generally performed by lethal injection, using the same drugs as those on death row are executed. This has been considered to be like abortion, the debate about assisted suicide is still a very heated one and many people have strong feelings about it. Many people argue that quality of life is an issue, while those on the other side like doctors, believe life must be preserved at all costs. Proponents of assisted suicide believe that the church and state have no right to interfere with a person’s right to die. The Hemlock Society is very vocal in their belief that euthanasia should be allowed, especially if the patient has conveyed those wishes. Very few stand on the middle of the road on this issue. Most religions and medical professionals are opposed to euthanasia. Several foreign countries including the Netherlands and Belgium allow euthanasia to be performed on patients if certain conditions, such as chronic pain associated with an incurable illness, are met. Animals, especially dogs and cats, are routinely and humanely put to death in many animal shelters when homes for them cannot be found.

    Euthanasia

    Euthanasia is the right to die. It is when it is agreed for a person to help end some ones life, because it is more humane. It is a very controversial subject..
    Euthanasia can be passively, non-passively or aggressively. Passively is when medical staff would not actually kill the person, but withhold treatment that would keep the patient alive. Non-Passively is when life support is withdrawn. Passive Euthanasia is the most accepted type, and is often used in hospitals. Aggressive Euthanasia is when patients are giving something that will kill them. This is the closest to murder or suicide and so raises more issues than the others.

    If someone is in a coma, it is often left up to the relatives to decide whether or not they’re kept alive; but is this right?

    Euthanasia could put a lot of people in a difficult decision. For the ederly generations and people who are seriously ill, surely it is their right to die with some dignity. But if they were to ask for help, once they’re gone that person could face legal actions, and is this fair on the person left over?
