Euthanasia, (from Greek: åõèáíáóßá -åõ, eu, "good", èÜíáôïò, thanatos, death),is the practice of terminating the life of a person or animal in a painless or minimally painful way in order to stop suffering or other undesired conditions in life.

Euthanasia is know as a mercy kill to put someone out of their misery humanely sometimes inhumanely in the military without revealing their death wish to their chain of command, superiors.
Sergeant Kincaid and his platoon were creeping thru enemy terrain. Shots rang out and Machiavelli stepped on a land mine. Machiavelli body blew up into two pieces. While the fire fight was at it's Pinnacle Machiavelli begged his platoon member without advising the sergeant for a euthanasia lethal injection. Machiavelli was injected and died a quick death as per his death wish request by his platoon member in which he closed his eyes to show respect for the dead.
