Similarly, there is a need to observe that there are varying differences towards the death within the Canadian and American societies. In her article that was published in the Los Angeles Times in June 2017, Karlamangla examines the statistics of those who had requested for euthanasia and observes that the majority of them were whites. This is affirmed by Nirappil (2018) who observes that among those who had inquired about assisted deaths, none of them was black. This implies that whites were more likely to seek for assisted deaths as compared to blacks. The differences in seeking for assisted deaths is influenced by the fact that blacks and whites differ in the way the perceive death, with blacks perceiving death as something that should be avoided, while the whites’ culture encourage people to seek to die while close to their relatives. Therefore, while on a grander scale, North American culture promotes the notion that one can triumph over death by choosing when and how to die, it important to clarify that there are micro-cultures in this community that have different and opposite perceptions towards death.
同样，需要注意的是，加拿大和美国社会对死亡有不同的看法。在2017年6月《洛杉矶时报》上发表的文章中，卡拉曼格拉研究了那些要求安乐死的人的统计数据，并观察到他们中的大多数是白人。Nirappil（2018）证实了这一点，他观察到，在询问协助死亡的人中，没有一人是黑人。这意味着与黑人相比，白人更可能寻求协助死亡。寻求协助死亡的差异受到以下事实的影响：黑人和白人对死亡的认知方式不同，黑人认为死亡是应该避免的事情，而白人文化鼓励人们在接近亲属时寻求死亡。因此，虽然在更大的范围内，北美文化提倡一种观念，即一个人可以通过选择死亡的时间和方式来战胜死亡，但重要的是要澄清，在这个社区中，存在着对死亡有不同和相反看法的微文化。
In conclusion, an analysis of the three articles on the legalisation of euthanasia in North America that were published between 2017 and 2018 in different newspapers indicate that the North American society’s culture perceive death as something that can be triumphed upon by determining when and where to die. Importantly, family reunion at the time of death plays a critical role in this culture, with those who seek assisted dying perceive such reunion as a moment to show that one has died a dignified death. Whereas this is the case, minority communities such as the African Americans perceive death as something that should be avoided and as such, they would seek to prolong their lives at all cost.
总之，对2017年至2018年间在不同报纸上发表的三篇关于北美安乐死合法化的文章的分析表明，北美社会的文化认为死亡是可以通过决定何时何地死亡来战胜的。重要的是，死亡时的家庭团聚在这种文化中起着至关重要的作用，那些寻求协助死亡的人将这种团聚视为表明一个人已经体面地死去的时刻。尽管如此，像非裔美国人这样的少数民族社区认为死亡是应该避免的，因此，他们会不惜一切代价寻求延长寿命。
