But seriously, I haven't seen them anywhere now. It would be best to check amazon.com or ebay. I have one, and I must say, they're soooooo small that you barely feel it when it's in your pocket. But it's still big enough to read small text on the screen.

Yeah, thats partially why i want one. I really don't expect to be playing it enough to buy a clunky SP, I already have an original GBA thats in okay condition.
It's riddled with grammatical and syntactical errors. I didn't bother reading the entire thing, but I can safely assume you made liberal use of the passive voice, made incorrect citations and quotations, used a non-impersonal tense, and generally confused the meaning of "research" with "persuasive."
Good effort, though.

Assisted Suicide: Is it really as Simple as Life or Death? "Confined to a rusty wheelchair and unable to control her muscles below her neck, Li Yan seemed destined for nothing more than a short life or pain and hopelessness." (David Pierson from the Los Angeles Times). Imagine a loved one in terrible pain; unable to do the things in life they cherished the most, simply a shell of their former selves. Again take for instance Ms. Yan whose mother has to turn her over at least 10 times a night to ease her pain of being in the same position for hours at a time and to prevent bedsores. "I explain to people, imagine lying down or sitting stiff for two hours without any movement no matter how uncomfortable it feels. It becomes so painful. Like having a mosquito on your finger and you can't chase it away." she says. A person posting on her blog named Caihong says," I understand and support you (Regarding her fight to gain assisted suicide) It has nothing to do with courage, but has to do with dignity!" With examples like these it's hard to deny someone the right to die with dignity. Although many people feel doctor assisted suicide is an outrage, a right to death should be a person's choice, because there are strict regulations, the deaths will not significantly increase the death rate, and forcing people to live with such terminal diseases can be compared to torture to a simple dignified death. In Oregon the first state in the United States to legalize passive euthanasia, physician assisted suicide, the Oregon Death with Dignity Act states that," a capable adult Oregon resident who has been diagnosed by a physician with a terminal illness that will kill them within six months may request in writing, from his or her physician, a prescription for a lethal dose of medication for the purpose of ending the patient's life. The request must be confirmed by two witnesses, one of whom cannot be related to the patient, be entitled to any portion of the patient's estate, be the patient's physician, or be employed by a health care facility caring for the patient. After the request is made, another physician must examine the patient's medical records and confirm the diagnosis. The patient must be determined to not suffer from a mental condition impairing judgment. If the request is authorized, the patient must wait at least fifteen days and make a second oral request before the prescription may be written. The patient has a right to rescind the request at any time." Although physicians do not need to participate in the actual life ending process it is not uncommon for a doctor to attend. To completely ensure a patient's willingness to continue, the patient (if physically able) gives themselves the life ending drugs. The equivalent in California is known as the Compassionate Choices Act which is modeled after the Death with Dignity was originally defeated in 2006 but was later passed in 2007. Some believe that assisted suicide will cause the death rate to increase, but this belief is untrue due to the harsh and rigid laws regarding assisted suicide. No extra or unnecessary deaths will be caused simply because you must already have a terminal disease and be expected to die within 6months before you can obtain the drugs necessary to end your own life, it is merely controlling the time and date of your own death. It is also believed that certain "vulnerable groups" exist like the elderly, poor, women, minorities, uninsured, chronically ill, less educated, and AIDS patients. Out of these so called vulnerable groups, only the number of AIDS patients using assisted suicide increased. In the Netherlands, another country with legalized doctor assisted suicide, found that 1.7% of deaths per year were caused by voluntary active euthanasia. In that same study it was shown that the elderly, women, and uninsured do not die disproportionately where such suicide is legal, but AIDS patients do. It also proved that assisted suicide does not disproportionately kill the poor, uneducated, minorities or people with chronic illness, and mental disabilities (Hindustan Times September 27th 2007). The only people assisted suicide kills are the terminally ill. Living with some of these diseases can be the equivalent of a slow, torturous, and horrible death. Take for instance Howard L. Wildfang; His skin is mottled, his body shrunken, and each word spoken with great effort. Within the past twelve years he has had 3 minor strokes and 3 operations for a non-life threatening bladder cancer. He was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma a painful and deadly cancer. His oncologists even believed chemotherapy might kill him, another attempted the therapy and it lasted about a month interrupted by a case of pneumonia. "Sometimes now I just can't seem to get my thoughts together, and I feel like an idiot. Sometimes my words come out funny. It's been that way since my last stroke" he says,"That's not the me I want remembered". His doctor tells him that the cancers can metastize, meaning spread, to his bones which is an extremely painful process or it can go to his brain which can cause nausea, behavioral changes, and disorientation, and last of all it can spread to an organ like the liver or kidneys which tends to be "gradual and relatively gentle". The doctor offers to keep him sedated on painkillers in an artificial coma and allowed to starve to death. Wildfang rejects this idea saying,"I guess wouldn't feel anything but my family would have to stand around the bed day after day and watch me shrink away. Why? What's the point in that?" He keeps repeating "keep control". Several months later Wildfang's feet have developed a painful fungus, a sore tailbone, labored breathing, and a yeast infection on his tongue resembling a "huge strawberry". His body is failing him. The next day he dies, 5 days before he planned on taking his own life. (Los Angeles Times Magazine July 18th 2004). All in all physician assisted suicide should be legal because of the strict regulations to prevent abuse, it will not increase the death rate, living with terminal diseases can be torture as evidence my Mr. Wildfang and Ms. Yan, and most of all because there are absolutely no reasonable arguments against such death. A right to die should be ones own personal choice, not decided by others. A death with dignity should be a right. If you read all that your already a god, and just any kind of comments will be much appreciated. Edit: I added in a couple more spaces to make it easier on the eyes Edit2: I'm gonna go to bed now. Thanks guys!
