The Killing Curse

I have been a member of this group for a while now but I haven't had 
any questiones or any thoughts to add. Well now I do.

My question is what is the underlying nature of the Killing Curse.

Does it just kill, like if somebody was shot. I ask this because if 
it just kills a person then it could be used as a legal method for 
giving the death penalty or if you want to put somebody who is sick 
and will die anyway out of their missery.

Or does getting hit by the Killing Curse do something else. Like send 
your soul to hell, destory your soul, banish it, or something else of 
that nature. Like being hit with the Curse stops the normal process 
when a person dies. If this is true then it would more than likely 
account for the reason its an Unforgivable.

I would like to know because it seems that if it just kills a person 
than it could be used for legal/medical purposes.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to read and answer my question.
