Mercy killing is the act of taking another persons life it is also known as euthanasia. It is when one person takes the life of a person who has an incurable ill or is dying of a slow death. If anyone helps with mercy killing on a human being then the person who helped can be charged with murder and spend life behind bars. Even if the person wanted them to perform the mercy killing. Voluntary euthanasia is legal on some US states. Euthanasia in animals is considered putting an animal to death or allowing it to die without going through extreme medical measures. Euthanasia is used to cause the animal less pain and distress while dying. It is legal in the US for animal euthanasia if it is performed by a certified veterinarian in some states it is even legal for a non certified person to perform this on an animal.
