Mercy Killing is getting the legal help from doctors and family members, to help be put out of misery during a painful disease. I believe that this seems like a better idea then letting your loved one go through a ton of suffering than just being with them everyday, knowing that they're hurting somewhere in their body. Though it's not fair on either side of the case, it's best to let them go rather then watching them pain. Why let someone so precious to you go through that suffering and pain rather than letting them be free and happy? I've known from experience that letting them go is always the best thing because you love and care for them too much to just be selfish, wanting them to stay though they're hurting. Mercy Killing is the better way out of things. But from cases that I researched, I understand why it's illegal because some people wouldn't do it properly then be accused of murder even if they thought they were helping put the person out of misery. I think that Euthanasia (Mercy Killing) is only part of the grief of letting go of a loved one. Better to let go while you can say your last words rather then them leaving and you not getting to say a thing.
