Euthanasia by wife

@Renauda said in Euthanasia by wife:
Kinda messy don’t ya think?
Well, yeah.
But, it raises an interesting question: What's the difference between the wife performing this (admittedly messy) voluntary killing and someone else doing it by lethal injection?
We're not even arguing about price, rather about the executioner. for want of a better term, and the method.

I can't begin to imagine how wrenchingly difficult that must have been for her to do. And the courage it took.

Nor can I.
If you look at the story, supposedly it was supposed to be a "
euthanasiamurder/suicide" and she couldn't bring herself to kill herself. -

Did she plan the killing? Yes.
Does the victim's wish have anything to do with the law? Probably not.That qualifies as Murder 1, right?
Now, do medical euthanasia.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Jury.
You're gonna send grandma to the chair for putting her dying husband out of his misery?

Maybe Dickens had it right about the law?

I’ll bite - yes the method is worth arguing about.
Couldn’t she have found a way that didn’t implicate herself in a murder?

Messy, as @Renauda points out. What about a rapid-acting poison? How about an OD of fentanyl?
Couldn’t she have found a way that didn’t implicate herself in a murder?
If it was a planned murder/suicide, as the story suggests, that probably wasn't on her mind.
