    Yes. Though it’s not really as hypocritical as it seems at first glance.

    Assume you view suicide as being punished with eternal torment.

    Someone wants to kill themselves, but, if you kill them instead it isn’t a mortal sin.

    From your moral framework the execution is now a mercy. They no longer suffer, in this life or the next.

    Ya know, if you believe in sky daddies and whatnot.
