would you look at her

money no enough 2 isn't about money, no.

it's about another 'm'- mother.

this is the first time that i considered the subject of euthanasia from a monetary point of view, for me at least.

i've always reasoned that euthanasia is a mean to end the suffering that the victim has to go through in my gp essays (euthanasia's quite a favourite subject for gp).

million dollar baby too depicts euthanasia along such lines, but maggie (the victim in the film) is a successful boxer, and frank (her coach) runs a gym and is financially secure too.

what then happens to those who can't pay for the astronomical bills of their loved ones who are chronically ill? does euthanasia then becomes a viable option?

money no enough 2 takes the easy way out, by killing the mother, perhaps fearing the scissors of the censor, should they depict 'mercy killing' in more positive light.

on an ending note, my take on the matter is that euthanasia is not correct, as i believe in the sanctity of life, that God has the right in life and death.

but then, i'm no paralytic am i?
