Many of the laws that were economy related during the time were all efforts to try and put an end to the great depression. Some of these were things such as the Economy Act, Revue Act, Banking Act, and the Farm Relief Act. These laws usually did not help during the great depression. In fact, some of these made things even worse. The Banking Act demanded that all U.S. banks would close for 4 days in order to try and get investors to put their dollars towards investing once again. This was an attempt to get the stock market up and running again as it had just crashed terribly.

Euthanasia is the intentional killing of someone that chooses to do so. In other words, it is assisted suicide. The reason this was such a controversial idea at the time because people saw two sides to the argument. The one side suggested that one would just simply be helping the one they love by putting them out of their misery. People argued that if the patient has decided that he or she didnt want to fight to survive anymore, and just go out peacefully with less pain, that this should be allowed to happen. The opposing side argued that this would equating humans with animals. They stated that taking a human's life can never be justified by any purposes. They argued that taking a human's life out of pity is no different than shooting a dog because it is on the brink of death, one would just be simply helping it along.

This argument opens up so many doors to new ideas and controversy. What should be done if a person is in a coma and cannot decide for themselves on whether they want to live or die? Who has the right to make this decision for them? If they are killed off, how does one decide on how they should die. What if the person deciding on whether they should die is doing it for selfish purposes, is that then considered to be homocide? All of these questions were opinions that had to be discussed if Euthanasia was to be legal.
