Should a "Death Doctor" be forgiven?

"Death doctors" are doctors who help terminally ill patients to commit suicide. This, in my opinion, is a good cause. Many people who are terminally ill will die either way, and even today, these "Angels of Death" administer euthanasia to patients who are incapable of being cured. Examples of these doctors have been recorded in people such as Dr. Joseph Mengele, a nazi enthusiast who also used chemical showers to kill those he deemed "Imperfect," and Dr. Jack Kevorkian. These two killed those with incurable illnesses.  Doctors, even those who try to save patients, kill people every day.  Doctors, those people who are supposed to heal everyone who is sick, are the third leading cause of death in the United States. What difference does a misinterpreted diagnosis make from a dose of euthanasia? So many people will find this outlook wrong, but really, the outcome is the same. The person who put their lives in their hands will die. So, should they be forgiven? If you would forgive a "doctor" that screwed up his diagnosis, you should forgive the one who knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
