This is going to sound cold-hearted and off-topic, but I'm curious:

Since this sounds so much analagous to the elderly-and-slowly-dying that 
I have known (increasingly absurd techniques to prolong lifespan, deemed 
by all worth it because of the love factor), and I've first-hand 
experience how that turns out (enormous drain of resources followed by 
death anyway), could any who have experience with the "euthanasia" 
type-of-experience describe if it was worth it?

On balance, is it better to kill it anyway?

No one has ever said so, which is why these sorts of things *always* 
happen.
