Could you tell me please, if this Topic Sentence is correct? I would like specifically to know which is the subject.

When there is love among humans, Euthanasia does not exist.

Or this other Topic Sentence is better?

Euthanasia does not exist when there is love among humans.

Thanks

When there is love among humans, Euthanasia does not exist.

Euthanasia does not exist when there is love among humans.

The meaning is identical. When there is love among humans is a dependent clause in both of them. Euthanasia should not be capitalized unless it is the first word in the sentence.

The emphasis is changed slightly from one to the other, but if you use the second one, you will have more emphasis on your ideas that follow this topic sentence because the idea flows more smoothly.

The subject of both sentences is euthanasia.

The first sentence is much better for the title.

When there is love among human.

When love among humans is there/ When love is there among humans.

When love among humans exists/ When love exists among humans.

Love is the subject.

The second, "Euthanasia does not exist when there is love among humans.", is better, in my opinion.

Could you tell me please which is the verb and the subject in this sentence? - maylegoas, Jul 19, 2011

I prefer the first sentance because it seems to put a little more emphasis on the "love among humans" rather than the second.

I think for a topic sentence the first is better. Just my opinion also.
