there should be no debate on mercy killing. it is ridiculous to debate on something as transparent as the concept of mercy killing.
there is no ground whatsoever for a debate, when mercy, the concept by itself, is so fundamental to what makes one a human. killing one who is already on his/her death bed is a but a small mercy. how is it fair that hapless beings are forced to bear merciless blows that life doles out on the basis of some arbid morality grounds?
in fact, suicides are also in a way mercy killing. an adult who decides to go through the painful procedure of self inflicted death would already have been dead in spirit. at least when it comes to sensible adults, who are intelligent enough to weigh the odds and others, it should not be seen as anything but mercy killing. it is incomprehensible to me that an attempt to suicide can have a police case slapped on you. what has the State got to do with this entirely individual decision to end one's life? probably, if the doer owes large amounts of money to the State or others, and by suicide just tried to shut the doors to the creditors, perhaps there is a ground for a legal tussle. but otherwise, never. redundant laws and weirder morality issues, they squeeze freedom by its neck.
