In theory, I understand the feeling and the argument.

However, mercy killing isn't legal in most places. Ask Dr. Kevorkian.

In addition, it offers the precedent for murder. That is to say that it gives a potential defense to someone who might kill an enemy with less than moral reasons -- and claim that it was a mercy killing.

If the guy was that badly injured, he probably wouldn't have lasted long. Give him a pain killer and wait for the inevitible.
