End of Life Issues What is euthanasia?
Euthanasia, which some people call “mercy killing”, is the intentional killing of a human being, most often with the misguided goal of ending the suffering of a person who is critically ill, dying or disabled. Euthanasia is not merciful, because it denies a person the right to live. We demonstrate true mercy when we love people despite their disabilities and are willing to take care of them even if they are unable to take care of themselves.
