I know how you feel. I had to put a cat down that had cancer many years ago and I never did it again. I can't tell you the guilt that I felt so when my Persian was sick last year, I refused to put him down and glad I did because he passed away in a few days from getting real sick and couldn't stand so I had those few extra days with him.

It is a personal decision and I wondered the same thing because of the "Thou Shalt Not Kill' commandment.
