I think we need to watch the words we use when talking about a sensitive subject. I do not know what state you are in, but here in Oregon we have assisted suicide laws allowing a doctor to assist a terminal patient with ending his or her life. I doubt this is intended for people who are simply sick or in a pitiful state, but those looking at a painful demise from a terminal medical condition.

I think "assisted suicide" is a better term than "mercy kill" .
