Woman Kills Herself So Blind Sons Can See
Mon Mar 21,10:50 AM ET Oddly Enough - Reuters
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian woman committed suicide so her two blind sons could receive her eyes and see, a newspaper reported Monday.
But doctors say the chances of success are bleak, The Indian Express reported.
Thirty-seven-year-old Tamizhselvi's sons, Kumaran, 17, and Kumar, 15, have been blind since birth.
Doctors in the southern city of Chennai say Kumar's condition cannot be helped with a cornea transplant and also suspect his elder brother does not have a cornea defect.
"We had told the family earlier itself that a corneal transplant was not needed for the younger son," the Express quoted hospital official G. Seethalakshmi saying.
The family is insisting Tamizhselvi's corneas can only be used for her sons and no one else.
"They want to test our feelings.They want to know whether Muslims are extremists or not. Death to them and their newspapers."

The key to that statement is "was". And it appears to have been for nothing, and her children are left with neither.

I am always against suicide.
But now , do not know if i should really curse her for committing suicide.
Still suicide , is not acceptable.
