I just watched an episode of Oxygen's 'Snapped', and it made me really think about the case they presented.
It was a story about a family of six - all of the males suffering from Huntington's (yes, the degenerative disease that Thirteen from House has) and the mom was taking care of all of them. She lost her father in law, one son, and then her two middle sons began suffering so badly that she shot both of them.
She spent seven months in jail and was released.
I think it was the right thing to do. Poor woman spent her entire life taking care of miserable, suffering, terminally ill people.
