#sorry for doing all this on a shitpoast

Okay, but what is a “mercy killing” when it comes to humans? Euthanasia? Assisted suicide? Both are legal, to varying degrees. Both have huge systemic problems.

when euthanasia is legal it’s used as a weapon against disabled people and people in poverty, who often “choose” to die to escape the unlivable conditions they were forced into.

Assisted suicide has similar problems. How can you prove that someone really wanted to die, and there was no coercion involved? There’s the fairly famous “texting murder” case, where the victim’s girlfriend encouraged him to kill himself even after he stopped thinking it was a good idea.

There’s inheritance fraud and the systemic lack of mental health care/meds. Retirement homes that cost a lot of money and maybe you just start leaving Grandma pamphlets about going out on her (your) own terms.

Mercy killings for humans would be easily taken advantage of and the definition would be warped. Is killing a POW after months of torture a mercy? Should it still be punishable by law?

Maybe if we had a better economy and healthcare and mental health support, mercy killings for humans would be moral. Now, they’re just another tool to kill off vulnerable people with no consequences.

it is ethical to mercy-kill any species of animal except for the only one capable of unambiguously communicating a preference for its death over its life

Yuri!! On Office - The Shitpoast The Office (US) Au Nobody asked for!!

by rawrxd

A Yuri!! On Ice au where everyone is loosely set as a character from the US version of The Office. It's got humor, angst, and fluff, but no inappropriate scenes because trying to keep it pg-13. I hope you like it, but if you don't, shoot a fire cracker up my anus.

i'm gonna try to set this only loosely on the office, so that it doesn't feel like you're just re-watching all the episodes and that if you haven't watched the show it'll be enjoyable. However, there will be similar moments and things like pranks, traditions, and parties that might be kept the same depending on what it is. I'm not that funny, so this will suck ass, but if you're bored and like both of these shows, i'll try to at least make it worth the read.
