and it is called a mercy killing. I... find it hard to believe the softest way was a gunshot to the head. However, I am ok with this. The suffering, the pain, etc... and this guy is 86. Come on, they'd been married so long and it's not like he's going to just run of with some 60 year old jailbait.

Tell you girlfriend I said Hi

She said "whoever that is, hi back..."

 

So wait, if your girlfriend offs my wife then she and I...........?

 

Um, pictures first please.

I have a policy against posting current girlfriends*. An ex good enough? http://i.imgur.com/0Ui6LsT.jpg

 

*except while high, in which case that was still only for a minute. I do not remember if I took it down or a moderator did for me... it was just her bent over gardening.

 

I got a picture of one of his girlfriends.

I am mostly monogamous right now, and neither is her... which is too baaaaaaaah'd, those are some hotties.

Who was the mercy for? Her or him? Ok, I kid, I kid!

 

But seriously, as well as I believe that what he did was a mercy killing. She was suffering and didn't want to spend the rest of her life in a NH. I don't know if this would be considered a slippery slope or not. I mean perhaps a person could kill their wife out of spite and claim it was a mercy killing later. I know that seems a little far fetched but look as some of the crap that ends up being claimed as a defense for murder already.

 

The judge made the right call in this case. I don't think this man is a danger to society and should not be in prison.

 

But we need to move more towards the laws we see in states like Oregon. When the end is near and your suffering is great. You should have the right to end your own life.

Maybe a better way to do this though would have been to let her do it herself. Though if the MS had progressed enough she may not have been able to hold the gun.
