Comment on The only difference between a humane and an inhumane death, is whether or not it leaves a mess.

  How about euthanasia?

    It’s a weird edge case that is between killing and assisted suicide, assuming there is consent.

    Euthanasia without consent seems not so humane to me, but once again it is an edge case that is still hard to define.

  No it doesn’t.

  There is a difference between shooting a invader of your house/country and capturing him and torturing to death.

    There is a difference, but if you start saying that shooting an invader is humane, you have a serious problem.

      Self-defense is inhumane? Call out the invader first, please, then we can talk about whether the defender is overdoing it.

        Killing is inhumane.

        Killing in self defense might be necessary, yet it does not become humane just because you want it to.

      It is because of the way it is, otherwise he shoots you and rapes your children. (No exaggeration, Russians did that)

        That sounds like your average american too.

        Nonetheless, if you start thinking that killing is humane because “they deserve it”, I will repeat myself, you have a serious problem.

        Because I’m pretty sure that this horrible rapist invader is also convinced that you deserve it, yet I don’t believe you would find their behaviour humane for that reason.
