This is completely nuts! I have never seen anything like that. I cannot believe someone could work up the courage, honestly, to say that on television. However, this does sound like a very unique situation. He Murders some one that he “loved”, when they were dying. It is difficult to imagine how hard it would be to kill someone you love. What is more perplexing is why the doctors did not do anything when he smothered this person, assuming this story is true. I think that they would be able to tell if someone had been arrested, so I wonder if they should be held accountable at all because they just let it happen. It also brings up debates about euthanasia, and when does dying become a patient’s right, and all the arguments that brings up. However, it does not sound like the patient asked to be murdered in this situation.
I cannot believe how long this man went without telling anyone, and then he breaks it to everybody on television. This man must have had this weighing on his soul almost every day. This is truly one of the most remarkable and odd videos that I have ever witnessed.
i have to agree this is quite a bizzare story not it the aspect that he killed a loved one to stop their suffering because i have heard of cases such as this before but the fact he confessed on air. But to the point of taking someones life to help ease them the pain i think is pretty interesting in the aspect that it must cause more pain to the person having to kill the loved one just becasue they have to live with knowing what they did and also knowing that no matter the circumstance they still commited murder.
