Mixed feelings. While I can appreciate the love and sacrifice that he showed to save his brother, I can't ever sign off on suicide being a viable option. I understand how things can be hopeless, but I would have let my brother have the surgery, but still hung on to every precious breath of my life in hopes that there was an answer for me too.

I don't think I would ever have the fortitude to do what he did. It's sad and yet heroic.

Admirable.

Although were it me, death by ingestion of pesticide would not be my first choice.
