It's not just OK, it's approved to kill your sick wife of 60 years and then yourself.

After all, the two of you are over 80.

I think this is the thrust of the editorial policy of the NYT behind this article.

Thanks to Ann Althouse and her post, "Romanticizing Suicide," for spotting this.  (I would have extended the title, however, to "Romanticizing Murder and Suicide.")
