There was no doubt 86-year-old George Sanders killed his ailing wife. Yet everyone in the small Arizona courtroom — the prosecutor, the judge and even the couple's family members — agreed it was a time for compassion, not punishment. "My grandfather lived to love my grandmother, to serve and to make her feel as happy as he could every moment of their life," Sanders' grandson, Grant, told the judge, describing the couple's life together as "a beautiful love story." "I truly believe that the pain had become too much for my grandmother to bear," he said, while Sanders looked on during the sentencing hearing Friday and occasionally wiped his eyes with a tissue as relatives pleaded tearfully for mercy.

Sometimes you don't get good information from doctors and you don't know what else to do. My father's death from cancer had some bad days. At the time we didn't know better. In retrospect we could have done things differently and my father would have been more comfortable.
Yes; by all means; let the professionals do it...
And a certain religious group adds: and after that the Judgement.
I don’t care about them, FRiend.
“... we know nothing about this man...”
Well, in a way we do via his children and grandchildren. They speak of their 60 plus years together as loving. They also admit that he took excellent care of her including numerous trips to the doctors/specialists. I think if there was an indication that he just got sick of her and his life... there would be more details including that she was dirty, starved, etc.. via her medical doctors. I don’t condone murder. However, I look at intent. His intent, IMHO, was not to get “rid” of his wife. His intent was to end her suffering. I wouldn’t want to walk a mile in his shoes.. seeing someone you love suffer and hearing them beg to end their life. All I am saying is that he is old, sick himself and nearing the end of his life with the woman he loved who was in pain. I think it is easy to judge and say, “NEVER, EVER” when you look at simple facts on paper. I think living it... seeing it and dealing with that kind of stress is difficult to comprehend unless you are in his shoes. Just my opinion....
My wife and I managed the final days for three elderly relatives last fall—one in September and 2in December.
Being that close, and watching people you love struggle...I came to the conclusion that I can make it more comfortable, but I could not cause it.
What a horrible experience for this man and his wife.
Actually the Bible says that.
I have Pulmonary Fibrosis. Put a clothespin on your nose, a straw in your mouth and a 2ton elephant on your chest. That is my life everyday. When I can’t get air into my concrete turning lungs, should my daughter just put a pillow over my face and make all of this terror go away. It will go when God says it will go. Until then He will give me and my family the grace to endure.
Wise decision!
You know, CC, that sounds really awful . I am so sorry to hear of it .
Thank you. It is awful, but I’m going to make it, because I know the end of the story.
I am very sorry about your condition, Coldwater Creek and I will pray not only for you but your family. Unlike you, however, it seems that the woman and the husband were completely alone during their illnesses. Yes... the family did speak out at the trial; however, it was very unclear if any sort of care/support was given during her downward health slide. No... of course your daughter shouldn’t put a pillow over your head. You have obviously made your wishes very clear to your family and for that.. I completely applaud you. They fully know where you stand and what your belief system is all about. In this article, it sounds like the wife begged her husband to end her misery. That is where everything becomes more traumatic and lines seem to blur. It is one thing to take care of an obvious terminal person. However, it is another thing to take care of them yourself with failing health and the person begging you to end their life. I feel so sorry for this man for many reasons... the main one being that it didn’t seem he had any sort of outside help that could clear his mind or assist with a terminal issue. God Bless.
It does not say, “Thou shalt not kill, unless you have a really good reason.”
Intentional killing of the innocent is always wrong. Always.
AMEN!

Are you still killing your unborn? -- GOD |
If the basis for belief is compassion, then lines indeed get blurry, because that is emotionally driven. If the basis includes "don't do murder" - well that is an unblurable line.
The question of the man's mental and physical ability is a separate matter.
It will go when God says it will go. Until then He will give me and my family the grace to endure.
Yes CC.
We do not know God's mind.
But we do know that he has a plan for each of us, and while we do not know his plan, he has told us that he loves us, and to have faith in him.
Perhaps, even now, as we type our thoughts at each other through cyberspace, he is raising up a young doctor/scientist/researcher/curious mind/child of someone who has seen up close and personal the pain and heartbreak associated with Pulmonary Fibrosis, to develop a cure.
Perhaps that will occur in our lifetimes, perhaps not, but we must, regardless, maintain our faith in God. After all, if we keep our faith in our Savior, we are not dying, we are just approaching the time when we will be called to be with him forevermore.
I pray for the easing of your suffering, and for the possibility of a breakthrough in the treatment of PF.
Whenever I am asked to pray for someone who is suffering illness, I first pray that they will come to know our Lord, if they haven't already do so, then I pray for their suffering to be alleviated. Their eternal salvation is more important than any illness in this all to short lifetime.
Thankfully, in your case, I need only pray for your suffering to be alleviated, as it is clear your faith is firm.
P.S. I also pray that an abortionist has not, and will not, terminate the life of whoever the Lord has chosen/will chose to bring a "Miracle of Modern Medicine" (as the media likes to call it) into this world, to ease the pain an suffering that exists here.
May God bless and keep you and your family.
