No, mercy killing is not good at all. However, I do believe in assisted suicide, and they are NOT the same thing....

No, it is a good thing.  It is much better than giving them a lifetime of freebies.  The law-abiding have to pay for their food, clothes, medical care, everything they need.  Why should a murderer get all that, and in a lot of cases even more, free for life?\n\nAs for what the families of the condemned "go through" too bad!  Did the killer think about what the victim's family will go through?  The killer made a decision to murder.  The victim's family has to live with that decision. The murder victim had to die a horrible death, the killer gets a nice, peaceful one. The killer gets to say his "tender goodbyee" to his family and gets a last meal before being turned off.  Has any murder victim ever been given a chance to say goodby to their families?  Or a last meal?  I highly doubt it.\n\nAnd at least with the death penalty, that ensures 1000% that that killer will never do it again.\n\nEdit - chris42050:  So, you think the murderer should get to live his life, getting to have visits from his family, (does the murder victim's family get to visit a live person?  Or look at a cold tombstone?) getting to lounge around all day, getting free food, free clothes, free medical and dental care, free cable, free internet, etc?  And you cannot even compare the "suffering" of the murderer's family to the suffering of the victim's family. As I said, at least the murderer's family gets a chance to say "goodby" while the murderer is still alive. Keep in mind the muderer made a decision. The bottom line is I care more about the victims than the criminals.  And maybe if life in prison was truly a punishment, without all the frills I would feel different, but the cry-for-the-criminals liberals would never have it be that way.\n\nAnd as a side note - I have seen on the news plenty of times when an animal is vicious, it is put down.  So, if a human is vicious, the same should be done to them.

I TOTALLY AGREE with you!!!\n\nin your additional details, again, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with you!\n\ntnmack is right. it's abhorrently evil to kill an innocent human being. i saw a documentary how it's done, it makes me wonder how evil can people be due to selfish reasons. it is HORRIBLE. and only evil people can allow it or condone it.

Good and bad are such relative terms. Comparatively if they behave in such a way that's so bad like they enjoy killing and tormenting children or so good like they give away all thier possessions to feed the homeless you can be tipped off. But on a regular day to day nothing is ever as obvious. You gotta check some of your own standards. Do you notice if they act more good than bad in every day situations?

I don't understand your question.   DO you mean, "Is it not killing to vanquishing demons (for example)"???

i had been into that issue too, im on affirmative side. yes to euthanasia. my ground presents a lot of aspects, morality, socially, politically, by religion, specially psychological issues..etc, all social and prvate issues. it isnt a hindrance when the person commting or indulging it ask for a mercy killing. bt due to constitutional rights, a life to preserve and a right to live. doctors wont give it for ts a matter of dignity to human rights, infact they are legitimate to give life not to take it.\nbut for me, i preffer the psychological effects, what good does it make when the person insist to die, and refuses to live? he/ she may lost sanity when provoked to live.\nwhat good does it do when u see it alive but so dead and numb lost inside. it may hurt and burn us to pain, but i rather have euthanasia be accepted than to see a person i loved in suffering and in a state of life loosing for the reason to live.

I don't think that this should determine or have any effect on the question of morality here.  The fact is that natural childbirth can cause tearing, sometimes very severe tearing.

Yes, it is much better than giving scumbags like the one mentioned in the question a lifetime of freebies.\n\nThe only thing wrong with it is they are given a much more humane death than they gave their victims.\n\nVictims didn't get a chance to say "goodbye" to their families, or a last meal, why should the killers?

Why did the Catholic Church kill an infinite number of people for not converting? Wouldn't God have punished them in heaven? Why have Hindus destroyed Sikh temples for the sake of one of their deities? Killing in the name of God doesn't make murder less wrong- actually, it amplifies your crime. However when you point one finger, three are pointing back in your direction.

God states: "My Mercy precedes My Punishment".  Everyone is given an opportunity to take advantage of God's Mercy and ultimate rewards.  Those who fail to capitalize on His Mercy and deny His favors unto them will have simply missed the boat and landed themselves in the Lake of Wrath.\n\nThat said, not every unfortunate event that takes place in people's lives is considered wrath:  some of it may be punishment, some of it may be a test for the person enduring it, and some of it may be a test for people witnessing it to see how they react.  But God's ultimate punishment will be in the hereafter; not in this life.\n\nAlso, let's not forget that if a God-worshipping righteous person dies, chances are he/she will end up in Heaven.  Thus, a mere person's death is not a form of punishment.  It may even be a reward.

I think it is wrong and inhumane. Killing is not a sport. all living things feel what ever happens to them, and killing them  is just wrong, why cause any thing pain when you dont have too????? killing for sport is stupid. like hunting. stupid stupid stupid.

Correction, more than a hundred countries still have death penalties, some still using firing squads, public hangings, stoning and three still chop off the victim's heads.\nFor Christians the problem is one of bending "Thou shall not kill."  For others it may or may not be a moral issue.\nPersonally, I do not see any moral action in killing a human to punish him or her for killing another.

Good Afternoon!\n \nMorals are objective, and subjective.  That is, genocide is always wrong.  Rape?  Wrong.  This morally so.  But person's intention has to be taken into account.  Take for existence a man putting a knife into another man's heart, and the second man dies.  Was the first man action morally wrong?  If his intention was to kill or harm the other man, yes, his action is morally wrong.  It is never right to intend harm on another.  But maybe he was surgurn performing emergency surgery on a patient, and the patient died despite the doctor's attempt to keep him alive.  So his action is not wrong, becuase the intention to save a life.\n\nThat is there a many actions that are morally wrong.  When Deciding if the person is cupable fo a wrong act one most consider three things: 1 whether the person knows the act is wrong.  2 whether the person has considered what they are doing and 3 whether or not they choose to do it freely, with out coersion.  \n\nThere are morally wrong and right acts.  If someone steals from you something they do not need, you will know that is wrong, no matter where you are.  But the act must be veiwed with the intention included.  Maybe it was someone who did not the object was yours, and thinking it belonged to some one they knew, would borrow and return it.  However, in this case it is not stealing, and is simply a mistake. \n\nLastly, one can never choose a moral wrong intentionally for the sake of another good.  That is always wrong, no matter what the more distant intention is, becuase the immediate intention is wrong.\n\nPeace be with you.\n\nsorry about typographical errors, I'm in a hurry.

James 2:13\njudgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

Bloodbath against an enemy that wants us all dead sounds good to me.
