Should mercy killing be punished? Mercy killing, also known as euthanasia, refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. This type of killing is legal in some countries, but should it be punished instead? Although, it is still a type of killing, it is for a good cause. There are people who suffer and want to rather die than to endure agonies, euthanasia is an answer for them. Thus, mercy killing is very humane and reasonable thing to do and does not deserve punishment. The negative aspect of euthanasia is that it is still a form of killing. One should not be in judge over others life, even when it is for a good cause. The fact that euthanasia could be misused is not less important. In conclusion, although mercy killing is a form of taking someone’s life, it should not be punishable when it is for greater good.

LOVE is when you lust for what's inside. · There are three kinds of bones everyone should have: a funny bone, a backbone and a WISHbone. · I didn't fall in love with you on the first sight; I fall in love with you over and over again on every sight. · Mostly, the person that you hurt the most is the person who loves you the most. · Life is a best friend when you get what you want, and life is a teacher when you don't. · There's always an eye to see each beauty, an ear to hear each truth and a heart to feel each love.
