As a result of this disease, she could not talk or walk and had to be fed through a tube in her abdomen. One day, his wife managed to scrawl a note in which she asked her husband of forty-eight years to kill her. The husband was described as a loving spouse who was devoted to caring for his wife. The man gave his wife an injection of ground-up sleeping pills. The wife became unconscious after the sleeping pills were administered, but she did not die. The distraught husband carried his wife to the car where he attached a vacuum-cleaner hose to the exhaust pipe and ran it into the car. He got into the car, along with the family pets, intending to kill his wife, himself, and the pets. After twelve hours, the man woke up to find his wife and one of the family pets dead. The level of carbon monoxide in the wife’s blood was not high enough to kill a healthy person but enough to kill his frail wife.The man was ordered to stand trial for killing his wife. His lawyer argued that it was a crime of “passion and comp lon.” The prosecution said that what the man did was illegal and that he should be sent to jail. Assisted suicide is a source of ebate across the country. In Oregon, there is a “death with dignity’ law. This law allows a doctor to prescribe a lethal dose of ha biturates to patients who have less than six months to live. Since the law took effect in 1997, 292 people have asked their doctors to prescribe drugs to end their lives. **Was the man described above guilty of murder? Should he go to jail? What were the man’s values? Should laws be changed to allow assisted suicide? Look at the different points of view and examine your own values to construct a reasonable point of view.
