Thank you for this thought provoking blog.
There are rough patches in our morality. The Tracy Latimer case shows deep complexity of our thinking and laws. Crime of compassion when viewed from common crime framework post more questions rather than answers.
We (the whole world) are moving into chaotic era with age-care (Alzheimers, Dementia, Infirmity,…), disability-care, drug-addict-care,.. even child-care issues still unclear. In Thailand, where the justice system seems slow and mysterious (against common/traditional beliefs), answers will not come easy either.
