he was wailing with pain during his last stages. he had bone cancer. the patient himslef pleaded to kill him as he was not able to tolerate the pain. but he was not done so. is it not ok to kill him rather than make him suffer with pain like this?/? first of all is mery killing right? i feel it is ok in certain situations.

Mercy killing is another form of killing. It is wrong, on my own opinion. Even how hard a person suffers, only God can take his life. Not anyone of us.

Nowadays there are medicine which can alleviate pain even for terminally ill patients with cancer for example. But I am not in favour of mercy killings even in such cases. I believe that life is a gift from god and we must respect it. Even if it means suffering. Suffering might seems meaningless for many in nowadays life.
