Right to Live or Die

Variable 1=suicide4: Do you think a person has the right to die or end his or her life in this person is tired of living and ready to die by their own wish?
Variable 2=suicide1: Do you think a person has a right to end his or her life if this person has an incurable disease?
Variable 3=letdie1: When a person has a disease that cannot be cured, do you think doctors should allow incurable patients to die by assisted suicide if patient and family request it?
Results for Correlations:
The three variables showed significant correlations at the 0.000 level. The three variables also displayed a strong positive correlation. Strongest correlation was between the variable 2 and variable 3.
Research Question
Does an individual have a right to decide on his or her own life and death?
Research Hypothesis
Attitudes toward Euthanasia will be substantial depending on individual circumstances.
Null Hypothesis
There is no difference among attitudes regardless of personal circumstances.
Hypothesis testing is significant to study people orsubjects at large populations since we obviously cannot reach everyone in the world. There is always a need to draw inferences about phenomena from samples. It transforms questions into testable propositions and helps lead to the discovery of additions to knowledge by helping to confirm or disconfirm particular theories.
