Montana murder/suicide and Montana’s law on “aid in dying”

Here is Wesley Smith’s commentary on a recent murder/suicide in Montana and the efforts of Compassion and Choices” to use the incident to promote “aid in dying.”   http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/secondhandsmoke/2010/09/04/compassion-and-choices-uses-murdersuicide-to-advertise-doctor-prescribed-death-in-montana/ An 81 year old man shot his 81 year old wife (who had cerebral palsy) and then set their house on fire and then shot himself. According to the local sheriff, the murder was an act of love to end the wife’s pain. As Smith points out, there are many unanswered questions in the case. What a tragedy that our society views killing as a solution.
