If You Love Me, Kill Me.

The love displayed in this story struck a cord in me, but what do you think about it?

His senility was not allowing him to think straight.

Very sad. I understand it. Of course, empathy doesn't make what he did *right*, but I think his motives were probably as right as they could be, given his capacity.

It's also very sad that the bullet didn't kill her right away. It was an unmerciful killing--because she had to suffer for several days before dying.

I think he was thinking straight and I understand his decision to do what he did.

Yeah. It seems to me that if I was to put someone I loved out of their misery, I'd make sure to do it right.

Is what he did wrong?

I do not think what he did for his wife was wrong. It was very sad but I do think it is a dying persons right to request what they will by their loved one~
