- ii) Analyse and explain the way a religious or moral issue is dealt with in a television soap opera.
Euthanasia is the religious issue I will be dealing with in the soap opera, Eastenders. Euthanasia is the way of providing a gentle way of death in three types of ways: assisted suicide, voluntary euthanasia or non-voluntary euthanasia. Assisted suicide is providing a seriously ill person with the means to commit suicide. Voluntary is when a person who asks someone to end their life painlessly and non-voluntary is when there is no permission to end someone’s life but it is the right thing to do.
