David's attitude toward mercy killing is, he feels that when an animal or human is suffering because of an injury or illness it should be taken out of its misery. Many people believe in this method of killing, because they feel it would be best for the animal. Euthanasia is an act used when a person doesn't want to live any more, they can sign a waiver stating that they are in extreme pain and suffering and it would be best for them not to continue living. This is only legal in some countries like Holland, I think it should be legal here in Canada because I"m sure many people here are in serious mental and physical heath but can't ease the pain because of laws. When Bob picked up the injured bird and wanted to take care of it's broken wing, David took the bird and killed it saying to him "Could you teach it to fly?" this angered Bob because I"m sure he didn't think the broken wing was that big of a deal, or he just loved animals. .
2. David has many personality traits, the three that stick out the most are, David is a good explorer, he enjoys climbing and loves finding new mountains to climb and conquer. If he doesn't get to the top the first try he won't quit, he won't let the mountain conquer him and Bob. "In August, the second attempt, we ascended The Fortress." This demonstrates his inability to give up just because he didn't make it to the top of the peak the first time. David is also an amazing teacher, he teaches a young man that's never climbed before and molds him into an excellent climber. He teaches Bob the ways of the mountain and how to live in the wilderness. " and David showed me how to use the give of shale for giant incredible strides." David is a very stubborn man, when he falls from the finger and wants Bob to push him over the edge he won't listen to Bob's suggestions for his survival. Once David has an idea in his head he won't relinquish it for anything.
