"Don't drink the Kool-Aid" I know this wasn't exactly on the sheet, but it does fall under the category of 'cults'. I would like to study Jim Jones and the 1978 mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana. I hope this event qualifies.
Simple, but key question:
Why did over 900 people all commit suicide together in Jonestown?
After Dr. Death (Jack Kevorkian) helped many terminally ill patients commit suicide, he claimed that "dying is not a crime." Does the government have the right to claim euthanasia as illegal?
