I saw a report on the news today about a woman who killed her two sons because they had Huntington's disease, which causes paralysis, and memory loss. Her sons were in their forties and in nursing homes in urine soaked beds. The woman came in with a pistol and shot her sons, supposedly out of mercy. She was taken to court and charged with murder. What do you think about this? Was it right for her to put her sons out of their misery? Should assisted suicide be legalised?

I think she did a good thing. If I were in that condition, I would definitely want someone to put me out of my misery. Also, I think it should be legalised. When you're in that condition, and want to die, that's your decision, and the person who kills you is doing you a favor that you asked of them. That's all I have to say. I'd like to hear your opinions.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Hungtington's disease is incurable.
