Shouldn't you do your homework yourself?
For the good of all, bob killed his son.
Bob was wrong. Now add about 987 more words to that and you'll have your essay.

If ever there is a god, then that god should be benevolent.
He should have cured his son, and prevented Bob from becoming a murderer.
But I don't believe in all this jazz. This pathetic guy doesn't exist, deserves no blame. Bob is entirely responsible for his action.

It's happened plenty of times all throughout history, this same scenario. It has usually still been looked upon as a serious crime of murder, though the suffering victim and the perp's compassion for his loved on is a mitigating circumstance

It's called euthanasia, and it isn't legal. Bob would be slapped with a murder charge and likely never see the light of day again.

How did Bob do it? A pillow? Poison? Overdose? Drowning? I've heard drowning is a fairly peaceful way to go...

WHAT THE HELL IS YAHOO ANSWERS GOOD FOR IF PEOPLE WON'T HELP YOU WITH YOUR HOMEWORK!?

I would love to help you here, but I dropped out of bio-medical ethics about halfway through the class and it's now been over nine years since I was in the class.

I will not do your homework for you dear, as this would have an impact on your learning curve.
You might want to know though that euthanasia is legal now in many european countries.

Did Bobs son want to die?

Oh dear, so he's full of pride to even think of playing God, his reward awaits him on Judgement Day unless he repents. There's nothing God can't cure, He bore our sicknesses. I'll pray for him
