Stasis of Jerry Springer vs. The Church of Euthanasia

            The major type of stasis utilized in the video “Jerry Springer vs The Church of Euthanasia” is the action stasis. Before watching this video, we know that overpopulation is a real issue that needs to be taken seriously. On top of that we also know that the consequences of overpopulation include the destruction of our planet and that this is not a good thing. However, the action we need to take to prevent this catastrophe has not yet been universally decided. In the video, the Church of Euthanasia argues that we should take action through cannibalism and suicide.  They claim that despite the fact that the majority of people believe these methods are unethical, they are simply the most effective approaches towards solving this problem, and that takes priority. This goes against the course of action that most people believe is a viable solution, such as merely not procreating. The video then stops before progressing into the fifth stasis, jurisdiction.
