Post #3- Alexis Lara

To some mercy killing is suppose to be seen as giving people that are already dying relief. I do not see it that way you see mercy killing to me is another form of murder, I think it is unjustified and a terrible thing to do to a person or animal.
In the book Of Mice And Men "mercy killing"was performed on the dog of candy. Personally I don't think that they should have killed the dog i mean there was no reason for it and I do not know why that was included in the story.
I think mercy killing is one of the worst things you can do to a person, If a person is about to die then just let them die but if a person is in pain just let them live through it because you honestly never know if they will recover. Think about it if you were told to choose to kill the person and let them live and you were leaning towards killing them but then you decided to let them live and two weeks later they are better then ever before you would have killed a person instead of letting them live.
This was recently an encounterment in my family my dog Sophie was really sick and all the veterinarians were telling me to just "put her down" but I refused to and two days later she was perfectly fine and ever since then she hash gotten sick.
So no I do not think mercy killing is the right thing to do because you are not giving that person or animal a second chance. I don't care what articles or scientists or doctors or anyone else says mercy killing is just like murder, there is no mercy involved just a bunch of people who don't know how to give second chances and are killers.
