Man shoots wife, wife doesn't remember a thing

This is very sad. In Tuscany today a 77 year old man shot his 82 year old wife dead while she lay in her hospital bed. She had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease eight years ago and the man told police that he could no longer bear to she her suffer. While this is tragic and an extreme example of someones anguish, I'm actually in favor of euthanasia as I feel that the continuing strive to keep many humans alive no matter their circumstances has gone too far. We often keep our "loved ones" in conditions that we would not subject animals to. Quality of life should outweigh quantity of life in my opinion. Obviously the "patient" should have the last say in this, which makes it extremely difficult in the case of degenerative mental illnesses unless the illness is diagnosed early enough and the victim is judged to be compos mentis enough to indicate their wishes. While this poor man broke the law, it will be interesting to see how justice is served. Maybe if they had children, it is they who should be the jury.
