"Mercy Killing" is an option of putting a human or animal away when they are suffering from an illness that is killing them from the pain they are in. Doctors will prescribe a special medicine for humans that will kill them without pain. The same with animals, they will be put to sleep without killing them in harm. Mercy killing is applied to humans and animals from my perspective because it's sad having to see a person or an animal that you care about so much, go through pain for a long period of time. It's better for them to die slowly with one pill or shot and die that minute, then having to wait for a long time to die with pain. Like in the book "Of Mice and Men" candy didn't want to kill his dog that he had since a pup because that dog was a part of him, however he knew it was for the best. That dog shouldn't be suffering (John Steinbeck, p.45).

I get what your saying in this post and everyone has there own opinion, yeah it does suck to see someone or something you love going through so much pain. Although if you give a person a prescription to die then you might as well be pushing them off a bridge because it is the exact same thing. Either way you are killing that person. Would you be able to live with yourself knowing that you pushed a loved one off a bridge? Then how do you live with yourself when you give them a prescription to death? Those two situations are the exact same no matter what anyone says. But good job on your post although I think you should add a little more of what your opinion is.
