To Kill or Not to Kill. That is the Question.

Guilty


I must disagree with Mr. Gilbert’s disicion to end his wife’s life because of her diabiliting disease. Who are we as humans to decide who gets to live and who gets to die?. When you kill someone, not matter how you may you do it or for whatever reason you may have, you are still takeing their life, which is still a crime in the United States. I believe that Alzheimers patients should be valued and upheld for what they are going dealing with. I know I would not have the courage to go through what they live through everyday of their lives. Alzheimers patients should be studied so we can learn more from there disease to better accomdate them and help them and to hopefully cure that horrible disease one day. I did not mean for them to be studied like little lab rats running around in a maze somewhere, but hopefully, you know what I mean by that. Im not trying to question the fact of whether or not if he loved his wife but I believe Mr. Gilbert should have gotten his wife the proper help that she needed, instead of him decideing to end her life. There were plenty of things Mr. Gilbert could have done instead of killing his wife. There are well trained doctors in the United States who are trained to deal with that disease.


In my opoion, the jury who decided Mr.Gilberts fate did the right thing in sentenceing him to life. Anybody who murders another person and calls it a so called “mercy killing” or Euthanasia, should be thrown away in jail for life. When you kill someone out of mercy, how are you showing them mercy by causeing them more pain?. Our laws in the U.S. are built to deal with clear cut cases dealing with crimes, not the gray areas that nobody tends to think about. When I think about how our laws are built to deal with crimes like these, I would like to quote Totse.com when it talked about euthanasia. If you look at the end of the webpage it stated, “ The “but” is the problem”.
