Morality Q – Do you think it was wrong for this mother to kill her son because he was suffering?
August 22nd, 2010I read an article a little while ago about a mother who killed her brain damaged son with heroin.
He suffered a severe brain injury after falling out of a moving ambulance (How does one fall out of an ambulance?).
She said she could no longer watch him suffer and she did it with love in her heart. She didn’t believe he’d ever get better (Even though doctors thought he might recover) so she couldn’t watch him live in such a helpless condition (Oh, she tried killing him one year before she actually succeeded).
Her entire family supported her and apparently everyone who knew her son didn’t see what she had done as murder, but as a loving and courageous act.
