Yes. I would kill someone If they asked me to, in the right (or wrong) circumstances.
No. I would never kill someone, even if it was in their best interests.
I don't know. I'm conflicted. I would want to help them, but dont know if I could go through with it

In what situation would you kill someone, because they wanted you to?

Say, if they're terminally ill and are garunteed to live a life of misery and suffering?

If they are wounded in a fight and medical help is not available and they're sure to die, but not after much suffering?

If they were suicidal?

If they had a mental or physical impairment that prevented them from living a fulfilling life?

Etc. What situation would you think it a moral choice? But, most likely, unless you're an unfeeling robot, killing them would pain you and cause you suffering. So, it would be a sacrifice for you to kill them.

I am in healthcare and am faced with life and death issues frequently. I believe that people should have the right to end their lives if they are terminal or having pain issues that cannot be resolved. I cannot assist them. It is illegal and unethical. I value life. I have looked after palliative patients/residents, suicidal people, etc. I value breath. I also know that some people have chosen to end their lives for their own reasons. We cannot judge them as we do not live their lives.
