Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I first would make him write a letter to his family saying good by and then kill him in the quickest most painless way there is (if any)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Well first I would put my self in his shoes, having done this I would quickly come to the conclusion that if my pain is such that I would rather be dead then it is I who should end my own life and not ask such a thing of one whom I consider to be my friend because it would be alot to ask if it is a thing I can do myself!. So I would ask my friend if they had not considered that and go from there!. If they say that they had and found that they were unable to kill themselves for what ever reason then I would not be able to for the same reason for if they are not willing to do it for themselves but are able to then how would it be good of me to do it for them if the are able but not willing!. If they were not able to do it themselves because of some physical limitation and I was unable to provide them a means for them to do it themselve and overcome that physical limitation then I might honestly consider honoring such a plea, but I can hardly imagine a case where there would be absolutely no way to offer said person the ability to act upon their will to end there own life if they were in complete physical suffering that will not end accept upon their death!. If there was any small but reasonable hope that their suffering could be overcome by any means other then death then I could not in good consience end their life or provide them with a means to end their own life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com yes i will, its not a matter of morality anymore!. if you are reasonable enough to know that you helped him instead of you killed him, then its only a matter of are you afraid of blood or not!. if you didnt then you are more wrongedWww@QuestionHome@Com Yes its like seeing an animal in agony, you would put it out of its misery, to be kind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com given all the situation stated above, yes!. no use making him prolong the suffering!. but otherwise i wouldnt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com That would not be necessary!. I'd remove the morphine autosyrette from his first aid pack and inject him and then move on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have no time to think of it , as a soldier I have much more to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes to save his the pain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com No, but I will try to send away from the battle field and let any one to treat and try to safe life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com yes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
