No one will get offended. It's a popular topic for debate, and valid points can be made for both sides of the euthanasia argument. Choose whichever side seems easier to speak about and argue for to you.

so would it be okay to do both pros and cons and then finish with my opinion?

Hi, could you send your speech to me if u are able to bc I have my speech in 2 days and I'm doing euthanasia as well and I have no idea where to start - if not then can you just tell me the structure and what you included and how long it has to be, thx

i haven't done my speech yet but my english teacher said that the topic is almost irrelevant. you do get more marks if the topic is more complex than a cartoon for example (basically euthanasia is complex enough). but the topic can be as controversial as you'd like. the main things you get marked on are your presentation of it and the subject matter, but the examiner has to mark from an impartial pov. sorry if thats confusingly worded lol
