Negative mercy killing refers to the act of intentionally allowing someone to die by withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, rather than actively causing death. This concept is often associated with ethical debates surrounding end-of-life care and patient autonomy. It distinguishes itself from euthanasia, where active measures are taken to end a life. The focus is on the moral implications of inaction versus action in the context of alleviating suffering.

Is Mercy killing humane?

The question is who has the right to say exactly when a mercy killing is justifiable. More often than not "Mercy " killings are done to relieve the caregiver of an unwanted responsibility; rather than out of genuine concern for the patient.
