“The pro-euthanasia people have been spelling out a new theory, and the media has bought it,” Schadenberg said. “The theory is that if you legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide, you wouldn’t have these types of murder-suicides. These terrible acts of ‘love’ wouldn’t happen, if people had another option, they say”.

“Well, that type of myth has got to be exposed for what it is. These violent acts are based out of deep depressive conditions, or they are the act of someone who has been a controlling person all their life, and that is their attempt to control the situation.”

"Death with Dignity" means God alone determines the time and manner of death.

Living with someone for 50+ years, seeing them going into the endless spiral of dependence, and this jerk makes the husband out to be an abuser.

My bet is that this so called expert is a shill for old folks homes for lack of a better term.

Euthanasia in Canadian means: Euphemism !

Canadians love to boast about their Socialized Health-care system, sysytem that lets people fall through the cracks .

Beyond that, Canada is so dark and cold, who wouldn't be depressed in that gray land and want to 'snuff it' ?

Here in Johnson County, KS there is a little club called the O'Connor Inns of Court, named after a federal judge who shot his wife and then killed himself. I'm a lawyer and find it appalling that they would honor a murderer in this way.

"...his 80-year-old wife, Lorna McCadden, had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers disease the previous week..."

How can the diagnoses of ANYTHING at age 80 be considered "early onset"?

I think that in addition to desperation, it indicates that the perpetrato may be suffering from depression.

".....his 80-year-old wife, Lorna McCadden, had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers ....."

In the US "early onset Alzheimers" hits people younger than 65.

No doubt Mr. McCadden became totally frantic discovering that his apparantly aged wife was actually 15 years younger than he'd recalled.
