Gnadentod can be roughly translated to "mercy death". Its not a word invented by nazies, through they loved abusing it. It tends to have been used in any use case where a mercy killing would be done. E. g. when killing a animal which is in constant heavy pain, has no chance to recover and will die soon. Like any case of mercy killing its at least moralicaly questionable especially if the being in question didn't agree to it out of fully fee will (e.g. can't consent) and more then questionable if you force it on anyone. As then it's nothing not then trying to reframe murder.
