Description[?]:
| Euthanasia, while we understand the motives behind it, is a tricky business. It is very hard to determine somebody's true intentions, and indeed, there is often a great deal of room for abuse, for instance, from those that would benefit from the death of a particular individual. Because the accidental destruction of human life is so terrible we need to err on the side of caution. Nonetheless, considering it "murder" is a bit harsh. We jail murderers because we fear they might re-offend, in part. There is a much lesser risk of that from somebody who kills another out of compassion. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
