What do we do in situations like this?

What do we do in situations like this?

In situations like this one it is hard to determine whether or not gilbert's wife asked him to kill her. This may be true, but if there is no record of any kind that can support this theory. In a police investigation, there are three things they need to have to charge someone of murder. Means, motive, and opportunity, are what they need.

I, personally think that anything is possible. what did gilbert's wife have that he wanted, to kill his wife over? Today, we have medicines, and other things that help people, or at least try to help people, to get through this disease that they have. Yet some people just don't want to deal with friends and loved ones who has this disease, so they put them in nursing homes while being able to visit them on occassions. Now yes, there people who can not care for others in the way they may need, so in that case putting someone in a nursing home is okay.

But some elderly do not wish to go into a nursing home, because either they know someone who is in the nursing home with alzheimer's, or they are afraid that they may end up like that. Both of my grandparents do not want to go into the nursing home, because they have both seen first-hand what it is like to live in a nursing home. My grandfather keeps his mind sharp by keeping up with their finances, works with his computer, plays scrabble every week with his wife and friends of theirs.

So, there are ways to stall alzheimers, but not everyone does that. I do not think that gilbert should have killed his wife. Even though she may have asked him to do so. He could have tried to do something, but she could have had something that he wanted, but could not get it unless she was dead. What was it that she had, that he wanted? was it money? or could she have really wanted to end life like this?
