{{Otheruses4|the act of ending a living being's life. For the Italian comic book character, see [[Killing (comics)]]}} |
|||
To '''kill''', '''killing''' or to have '''killed''' means to cause the [[death]] of a [[living]] [[organism]]. |
|||
The act of killing an [[animal]], [[plant]], or other [[life form]] can be said to have occurred when an outside [[force]], usually another life form, has done something to cause it to [[death|die]]. This may be a result of several actions: |
|||
* a deliberate action such as [[war]] |
|||
* in the case of animals, [[slaughter]]; see [[slaughterhouse]] |
|||
* the result of a criminal act, the [[action (philosophy)|action]] or [[fault]] of another human being, see [[homicide]] and [[murder]] |
|||
* the results of an [[accident]], such as a [[car accident|car crash]]. See [[negligent homicide]] |
|||
* [[suicide]] (to kill oneself) |
|||
A "K by protocol" in many areas when said by PD, Fire, or EMS means a death that meets certain protocols such that resuscitative efforts do not have to be made and would clearly be futile. |
|||
==Synonyms== |
|||
* Liquidate: to murder or execute, for [[Crime|criminal]] purposes, or as an [[enemy of the people]] or for other [[Politics|political]] purposes. See [[Assassination]]. |
|||
==Other uses== |
|||
* a United States Marine Corps Term meaning "Acknowledged" or "Understood" |
