Would you end my life if I couldn't be saved?

Would it be by bashing a rock against my head, or shooting me, strangling me? I'm not talking about an illness that has no cure. I'm talking about a freak accident where my stomach is ripped open and my intestines are dangling out or half of my face has been ripped off and bare bone is visible. I remembered a book where the main character saw a kitten whose stomach had been sliced opened and so the man decided to bash its' little skull with a rock to "put it out of its misery" even though the cat was still alive and moving. I was wondering if I was n a situation like that kitten would my life be entrusted with someone who doesn't see any other way to help me but to kill me. How do you feel about ending the life of someone in brutal way when no other way can be found?

hi LiveLove no I would not as almost even the worst accidents now days can be saved and I would push your intestines back in, cover your abdomen with a clean damp cloth, call 911 and get you to Emergency Room quick, quick. I wou ld never give up hope, as I worked in the medical profession for years,and miracles are done all the time.Also if I had seen the cat,I would have got it to a veterninarian at once.

my my, my friend, you can sure think of some pretty macabre things as i was reading over some past discussions of yours. a little to much Anne Rice reading/movies? anyway, i would call 911 and leave it up to them. even if it was an animal, i couldnt do it myself. i would also pray to Jesus to stop the pain in some way. leaving it up to him.
