Rowlandson was a fairly well off and religious English woman married to a minister named Joseph Rowlandson.

The French and Indian War being was fought over the land in North America. The 13 colonies of that had been established there were looked at as a right or investment of Great Britain.

This case proceeded in London and was said to be a strong influence in the abolishment of capital punishment in the United Kingdom. Evans was executed in 1950 for the murder of his wife and 13-month-old daughter. Evans maintained his innocence through the whole trial and told investigators that his neighbor, John Christie murdered his family. There was not much evidence against Evans and the case was said to be really weak but he was still executed on March 9, 1950. The police coerced Timothy Evans into a false confession by threatening him.
According to the account of her execution given in the anonymous “Chronicle of Queen Jane” and of “Two Years of Queen Mary”, Jane gave a speech upon ascending the scaffold: “Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same. The fact, indeed, against the Queen's highness was unlawful, and the consenting thereunto by me: but touching the procurement and desire thereof by me or on my behalf, I do wash my hands thereof in innocency, before God, and the face of you, good Christian people, this day.” Mary killed over three hundred Protestants during a period of just five years. Mary burnt the young and old, rich and poor, bold and mild, generous and selfish, just because they were all Protestants. Mary was called “Bloody” even while she reigned. Songs like “Mary, Mary, quite contrary” confirmed this.

The main reason patients think about suicide is because of the endless pain they suffer. This leads to patient’s desire to end life with some dignity. A person’s last months of life shouldn’t be about suffering from severe physical pain. Last impressions of someone should be filled with joy, and respect; which is why terminally ill patients have the right to choose to die with dignity, and not have to watch themselves turn into lifeless
