I only partially agree with it. It depends on the circumstances.
Like, I remember reading this one blog ranting about what a hospital had done. Their grandma had some sort of accident and was in the hospital, slowly dying. Something happened to her brain, I think, and she was just a vegetable. Eventually, the doctors cut off all of the medical support-type stuff. It took her a couple days to die because the doctors wouldn't be merciful and end her suffering.
If it's something like that, where they're just rotting away, then it's probably more merciful. But only if they have no chance at all of recovering.
