" How can we do this to him? I asked myself. We are going to kill him. We were saying, “Okay, Louie, you must die now,” and not giving him any choice about it. We were going to send him into a room and let someone give him a shot so that he would never wake up.

But then I remembered what he had looked like the night before, and how much he was hurting, and knew we were doing the right thing. "
