Euthanasia, or mercy killing, is the practice of intentionally ending life to eliminate pain and suffering.
Notable examples of euthanasia[edit]

- In September 2552, during the Battle of Installation 04, several mercy killings occurred, particularly as the Flood continued to spread.
- During the Skirmish on Infinite Succor, Special Operations Commander Rtas 'Vadumee mercy killed a Flood infected Sangheili.[2]

- Seelior 'Andolee killed a Mgalekgolo who had just lost its bond brother and was on a rampage despite being severely injured.[4][5] Andrea considered it to be a mercy killing on 'Andolee's part.[6]
