This is pretty sad. NYT article, so behind a paywall. But this is the heart of the story:
Jerry Gilland, a 77-year-old terminally ill man, made a pact with his wife about three weeks ago, the authorities said: If his failing health did not improve, he wanted his 76-year-old wife, Ellen Gilland, to kill him.
His health continued to decline, and so shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Ms. Gilland brought a gun inside AdventHealth Hospital in Daytona Beach, Fla., went to Mr. Gilland's room on the 11th floor and fatally shot him in the head, the police said.
Assisted suicide is a better option, rather than put that woman through all that. I would never ask 1poorlady to do that. First, she wouldn't. Second, I wouldn't want her to have to live with it.
