Is prolonging the suffering of something¹ morally equivalent to killing it?
What about if when you were handed it, it was perfectly healthy.

No, the prolonging of suffering is not always morally equivalent to killing it. But by some standars, especially considering it's current conditions vs. how it would be "dead", prolonging the suffering may be WORSE than killing it.

Of course, I could also be completely wrong.
