I think Professor Gill is saying that in cases where someone has helped a terminally ill loved one to die peacefully and end their suffering that it should be viewed with compassion and sympathy as such a case is very far removed from that of a murderer.

That must have been an awful experience for you fireman, a terrible situation to be in. I think if it were me I would have wanted to help and yet felt powerless to do so.

It still seems so very wrong that we can end the suffering of a dog but not of a human being.
