So... is mercy killing ever really acceptable?

Comments

Depends on who is defining acceptability.

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should have expected an answer like that.

[trickster-loki.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes you should. *grin*

[star-core.livejournal.com]

I think so.

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

As a last resort, right?

[star-core.livejournal.com]

I hope it's the last thing you would try.

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

Well, good. At least I'm not the only one that thinks so.

...what if someone was asking for it?

[star-core.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are others besides me.

In what way?

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

Literally asking for it. What would you do if someone asked you to kill them?

[star-core.livejournal.com]

It depends on why. If I can't undo what's causing them to want death...

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

There's no way I'd be able to persuade her otherwise... Even then I still can't do it.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

What's causing it?

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

She doesn't want to live forever. She can't kill herself and she doesn't want to be killed by anyone else but me.

I'm not going into her strange history, you'd have to ask her yourself.

[fritz4now.livejournal.com]

Why?

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

As much as I'll regret it, I might have to kill someone one day.

[crushing-light.livejournal.com]

Come now. You can't tell me you have qualms about killing a dangerous creature?

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

...you're not my priority right now.

[crushing-light.livejournal.com]

It takes less than thirty seconds to kill a person. It wouldn't be so much of a distraction.

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

I don't care.

[crushing-light.livejournal.com]

You're the one wasting your time asking foolish questions.

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's been on my mind a lot.

[crushing-light.livejournal.com]

Wasting even more time?

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

There's a lot going on right now, I still need time to think.

[crushing-light.livejournal.com]

... What are you doing anyways?

[heavenshield.livejournal.com]

Taking Altair home, hopefully. But it looks like he's not alone.
