There are some different types of 'to kill' in the dictionary, not all associated with the act of ending someone's life. Could this line of enquiry lead to the right answer? | ||

(next time can't we go with the standard bob and vic names =P) Unless the puzzle host names his characters initially, the privilege of naming goes to the first participant who cares to enjoy it Is this part of some experiment? Does Wocof2 gain any information from the killing? Could ¤ be just any person? Or does Wocof2 specifically choose ¤ for a particular reason? Is the time when this happened relevant?

By Drew Sollenberger (Sollen) on Saturday, March 04, 2006 - 09:32 pm: was Wocof2(next time can't we go with the standard bob and vic names =P) a cop? No stoping a criminal? So No.. was Wocof2 part of a medical profession Yesand the death was during some kind of medical operation? not necessarily so yesish was Wocof2 assisting a suicide? Yes did ¤ want to die? Yes did he know that there was a good chance thta he would die? yes could it be said that ¤ did something stupid or foolish that lead to-directly or indirectly-his death? Yes but not stupid did ¤ do something legaly/morally wrong? Yesish is it because of Wocof2 profession that ¤ died? Not directly but yes if someone did the same action as Wocof2 but was not in the profession would it have been considered a crime? Yes be considered worse then what Wocof2 did? could someone else have been in the situation to do something simlar to what Wocof2 did were then not in Wocof2 profession? If you are asking would somebody else of different profession than Wocof2 have did what Wocof2 did the answer is No I almost sense a $p0!Ler.

So this is a case of euthanasia then? Does Wocof2 do this to end ¤'s suffering? If so, is ¤'s suffering purely of a physical nature? Or also/entirely of a moral nature? | ||

So this is a case of euthanasia then? Yes Does Wocof2 do this to end ¤'s suffering? Yes If so, is ¤'s suffering purely of a physical nature? Yes Or also/entirely of a moral nature? Time for a *************** SPOILER ***************** This is a case of Euthanasia that happened last year in New Orleans after Katrina. Some of the patients in New Orleans Memorial Hospital were put to death by a 'lethal' dosage of drug as pleaded by the victims, because they were unable to evacuate them or leave them to suffer with the pain. The investigators couldn't testify because the body has decomposed so much due to the hurricane. Even though Euthanasia is banned ( except in Oregan) all cases of euthanasia cannot be testified against the accused due to a lot of medical reasons such as this one. Way to go, my first Puzzle is solved. Hey Thanks a lot for Drew, Torgeir and all others who participated in solving this puzzle. |
