MERCY KILLING (Euthanasia)

Euthanasia from web definition means the humane destruction of an animal accomplished by a method that produces rapid unconsciousness and subsequent death without evidence of pain or distress, or a method that utilizes anesthesia produced by an agent that causes painless loss of consciousness and subsequent death.

Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing, it is not common in Africa, any body that takes his life or requested that his life will be taking because of illness or distress, will not be giving a well deserved burial and even will not by the church. Human life is holy and is of God, we african's believe in the sanctity of life. Life should not be taking away by the so called painless death or mercy killing because there is nothing absolutely mercy about the killing in the eyes of God. people and country that practise it should have rethink that God alone gives and takes life at his own will.
