License To Kill

Prompt:http://litmuse.net/prompt_guilty





Wrong is wrong even when love is involve. There was other ways that this situation could have been resolved. A person's life should not be terminated by the hands of someone else. But what we would have to understand is that this man loved his wife very much and couldn't stand to see her in that much pain, and would have done anything to comfort her.

But the fact still remains that its wrong. He probably didn't know the consequences of his actions. And with something so severe, he should have consulted a doctor and they could have discussed the issue and made a decision. A person that doesn't have a will to live is a very sketchy situation. Especially when it comes to loved ones, but to take another persons life is crazy.

That person might have been in pain where they felt they wanted to die, but it is hard to distinguish do they really mean it. Some people have overcome Alzheimer's Disease and don't let it ruin their lives. And plenty of them might have thought that they would feel better if they were died. But now they are stronger people because they live with Alzheimer's.

Gilbert should have waited and really thought about what he was doing. Because once someone is gone they can never come back. They are not going to be there to tell the jury that they told you to assist them with their death. She might have went through pain then, but could have survived with Alzheimer's and they could have been living a wonder life together. But now she is dead and he will spend the rest of his life in jail. And many people will say that's not fair, it doesn't have to be fair, its the law.

Or maybe he did know the consequences and thought that it was worth going to jail and not seeing his wife in severe pain anymore. Also his wife may not have known in full what she was actually asking her husband to do. And she said she felt embarrassed, did she think about how embarrassed he would have been if they found out what he did. Asking someone to kill you is hard for both parties and something that really should have been thought about. I don't think I would have done it.
