SHOW MERCY, DON'T KILL

Right to die


I believe that everybody has the right to choose how he or she should live and die. Not every body will require death to come in the form of mercy killing. Pain is not always the issue that decides public opinion, there is quality of life too. People should not be left to suffer in silence. They should not have to suffer when death is inevitable. People are committing suicides when they think they cannot cope with life any longer. Mercy killing is unlike a suicide. It is sought and supported by the family members and friends of the patient concerned.
