"About the Avada Kedavra being used to end lives? That's called ethunasia, and it's still considered illegal," said Peony.

"I suppose you have a point. It COULD have been created for such a thing but I think its unlikely. It just is too evil of a curse in my opinion. Plus it is against wizarding law."

"The problem is that you NEED evil intentions in order to perform them. Mercy-killing is different, it's done out of, well, mercy, but certainly not evil."

Almost all the spells can be used the wrong way, Anthony said. It's not always the spell that's bad...it's how you use it. "Exactly," Ashlie said. "There are the bad spells. But in the end, it comes down to who the witch/wizard is and how they're using the spell. It's the same as a knife. It can be a utensil. But in the wrong hands, it can be a weapon." | |

It may so happens that you might come across to a time when you need to use that spell, Anthony implied. Not every spell is made for bad use, like i said before...It's how you use the spell, not necessarily what spell it is.

"You students really do have the nastiest habit of running away with the conversation. I can hardly get a word in edgewise... but I really enjoy your enthusiasm. MonkeyBJr, 5 points to Gryffindor for getting those Unforgivables out so quick."
"Several of you bring up a good point though... there are uses even for the Unforgivables that could be humane and non-Dark. However, the energy and will needed to fuel these spells comes from Dark intentions. While I like the suggestion that the Killing Curse could be used as a humane means to euthanasia, unfortunately, that is not so. Someone with such an intent couldn't even cause a muscle twitch in their patient.
"On the other hand, someone said Obliviate was unforgivable. There are many unfortunate uses of that spell, but it does not need malicious intent to work. Therefore, it is not a Dark spell."

"It's a good thing most spells and charms have a certain ambiguity to them. The same ones that can be used against us can be used by us to defend ourselves. Once again, it's all about who is doing them and why."

But the same you are potentially the *enemy* of hundred of peoples on earth! so, like those who write history; if your side is attacked then the other are the evil ones?" Quote: . Plus it is against wizarding law But law is created by human being, us, we all, and we clearly see that WE don't have te slightless clue what Dark Magic is, so that's kind of hipcritical...

"Professor, I belive that some curses are meant to be evil. But most aren't. MOst of us aren't going to go use something like a tickling charm to drive someone insane. Wouldn't it take an awful long time?" Ashlie asked. | |
