Instructions: Make the necessary changes where the numbers indicate to create a more detailed paragraph. Click on the HINT button to get ideas for missing details.

     Denying terminally ill patients the right to die has negative financial consequences for the family of the patient as well as for society. Caring for terminally ill patients costs a lot of money. (1) Normally these costs are so enormous that insurance coverage and family finances alone cannot handle them. (2) Instead of spending billions of dollars to keep terminally ill people alive and suffering needlessly, the government should deal with other urgent healthcare issues. (3) Since terminally ill patients suffer needlessly and family and society have to bear a tremendous financial burden in caring for them, there is no reason to deny these patients the right to die.
