SHOW MERCY, DON'T KILL

Ungodly


God alone has the right to take the life of a person. Man cannot decide on such matters of life and death. The law of the country also does not favour it because of various reasons. There is also the fear of such a law being misused or misinterpreted. But one has to realise that there are people who suffer from severe diseases. The amount of suffering that one undergoes and cause to others in those stages is immeasurable. If a person in such conditions expresses very clearly his intention of not living anymore, mercy killing should be allowed rather than allowing him to suffer in such agony and pain. Extreme care should be taken and transparency maintained in implementing mercy killing otherwise people may misuse it.

D.V.Rama Rao, ICFAI National College, Vijayawada
