      There’s always some mental health issues with something like this. The very concept of killing someone and knowing you’re going to die as a result requires an altered mental state.

        I wouldn’t say so in every situation. I’m sure plenty parents would say they would die to defend their kid, and I don’t think that would quality for an altered mental state.

        I mostly do agree though, but I do think you can sacrifice yourself as a rational and mentally healthy person. But it certainly not a choice that hypothetical person would make lightly.

          Well yeah, the whole greater love thing. This doesn’t strike me as such a situation though…

      I’m just pointing out a truth about the disease. If you have ever witnessed someone change almost overnight at that age, it’s a possibility an undiagnosed illness is revealing itself. People do some whacked out shit, especially if they are intelligent.
