Tracy's father was faced with an unfortunate decision, and in his decision I cannot condemn him for his actions. Now, in saying that, I don't think what he did was the right or wrong decision. As for his life sentence, that's pretty scandalous. My reasoning for this is due to his actual intentions and his mental logic in doing so. He claims he did it out of love and mercy, which I wholeheartedly agree with. Given that Tracy's condition is already a significant problem to live with, and the fact that her surgeries have caused her a lot of pain and suffering, it's something that would be difficult to bear. They claimed he had the mental capacity of a four month old, so in that sense it's almost like watching an innocent baby in constant pain. Part of the case says Tracy's mother believed the numerous surgeries, particularly the one that removed her thigh bone, were not surgeries but mutilations. I can understand why her mother would think that. I can only imagine what it would be like to see your loved one constantly being mutilated and going under the knife. Surgeries and doctor visits alone can be stressful enough, not to mention what can be perceived as mutilations. Additionally, the case states that Tracy was having 5-6 seizures a day, which would have been difficult to monitor and treat. Ultimately, I cannot in any way condemn Tracy's
