Euthanasia

I wasnt sure exactly how to spell that so I looked it up in the dictionary. I read the description and it said "also called, Mercy Killing." What is so merciful about killing, may I ask? Euthanasia(as it has come to mean) is designed to pick out the "weaker"(or "older") people and let the younger people live. It has been legalized in Switzerland and is a possibility (big surprise) for China (bunch of Commies). Oh, this is gonna work real well. Did somebody just think suddenly,"Hey lets kill the smarter, wiser generations and let the uneducated take over."??? Even if the people were begging to be killed they shouldnt be. I believe when Saul was wounded in battle he asked his sword bearer to run him through, correct? But his swordbearer didnt, he respected Sauls life. So why should we kill these people? Just because they're older? But think of this, what they may lack physically they make up for in experience and wisdom. So if Euthanasia ever makes the ballot in America (which I pray it never will), think of the older people close to you, your grandparents or ,depending on your age, even your parents. Euthanasia, in other words, is not a good idea and frankly, I cant wait until the guy who thought of this outlives his "usefulness". I think I might find him then and chuck him over the Swiss border.
