So what is a Mercy Killing ?

Who defines what a Mercy Killing is ? Government or the Individual ? Is that the Government role to define or the individual?
Time to have fun with the Progressives !
An individual has a spouse dying is it a Mercy Killing to put a bullet in that spouse's brain ? An individual has a spouse dying is it a Mercy Killing to drown that spouse in the bathtub ? An individual has a spouse dying is it a Mercy Killing to smother that spouse with a pillow ?
An individual has a spouse dying is it a Mercy Killing to wrap an extension cord around that spouse's neck and end that spouse's life ?

Who and what defines a Mercy Killing ? Surely the Intelligent Progressives know so please step up and give me your full interpretation of the law where it concerns Mercy Killings !

Mercy killing..... isn't that like when you put a liberal out of his misery ;)

I'd define a mercy killing as painlessly killing someone who is in constant chronic pain to put them out of their misery.

If someone has no hope of recovery and is constantly in agony then I'd argue that it's best for every party to look to euthanasia - granted the person suffering agrees to it, of course.

Drowning, smothering and strangling are both extremely painful and uncomfortable processes. I would not condone them as methods of assisted suicide. Even a bullet to the head is better than those three, as barbaric as it is.

You have agreed then that Killing is Killing ! So what you think about the Death Penalty then ?

I think the death penalty should only be used when there is overwhelming evidence that the accused is guilty.

Would like for the Progressives to define what a Mercy Killing is and attach that supposed knowledge to law !

A mercy killing is when you drop a nuke on the Middle East to free the women who are treated worse than animals anyway.

A mercy killing in Islam means you are gay, thus they are "putting you out of your misery" by slaughtering you like an animal.
