I read that the police were extinguishing the guy who set himself on fire yesterday only two minutes after it began. Obviously, the guy did not want to live. Putting out the fire so quickly does not ease his suffering and would only increase it if he were to live. As long as nothing else is at risk of catching fire perhaps it would be best to stay away. What do you think?

    I guess the options are:
    Put them out and fix them.
    Leave them alone.
    Kill them more quickly.

    Nobody is going to stand and watch (or even speed up) something like that without suffering massive trauma themselves.
    Right or wrong, they were doing what they thought best and what I imagine most think is best.
    Anything else is academical
