Can someone give me reasons why mercy killing is bad?

Question

The only reason I asked is because im doing a project on it, and I wanted to get others opinion. I truly disagree with it..

Answer 1

cause it's far better to watch someone suffer and deprive them of their dignity. it makes us feel better about our lives.  

Answer 2

It's maybe up to yourself, if you want it bad enough.  Like maybe you could take too many accidental overdose of medication.  If your quality of life is really that bad.

  The reason Doctors and nurses won't do it is because they could be sued by somebody or lose their license to practice or even go to jail

Answer 3

Because God commanded that you should not commit murder. You did not give that person his life, so why should you be the one to take it?  

Answer 4

because we have no right to take anyone s life at any reason.

Answer 5

Several reasons, not the least of which is God's command not to commit murder. Another reason has to do with motivation and abuse. As has been pointed out, some might very well use "mercy" as an excuse to receive their inheritance sooner or some other less than honorable reason. Also, it could ultimately cheapen human life, making it disposable rather than making every reasonable effort to save it.

Answer 6

mercy killing - it is  an act of deliberately bringing about the death of a person who is suffering from an incurable disease or condition; also called euthanasia.

Active euthanasia is illegal in most jurisdictions; passive euthanasia, or the withholding of some life support systems, has legal standing in some jurisdictions.

In my opinion this is a very sensitve question to answer.

Answer 7

There are no reasons, unless by mercy killing a person tells someone they dislike that they are putting them out of their misery...

Some people are just indiscriminately prolife that they forget to actually use their brains and consider a thing like mercy.
