Legally, yes. Morally, that's debatable. It depends how you define murder. Murder might even be a good thing in some cases, if you just define it as killing without consent.


Excellent point. That's how society tends to define define murder,then immediately starts making exceptions ;self defence ,capital punishment, war,human sacrifice, atheist babycues etc,etc. -

Is murder ALWAYS wrong? No.

Is involuntary euthanasia always wrong? Of course not. However,the slippery slope argument rears its head,and the word which comes to mind is 'eugenics'.
