I think it comes from the fact that the father has stated that he wants to die. I don't think it's actually a case of the doctor thinking that the father deserves death as punishment, but actually being able to end his life because he wants to. there are a lot of people in the medical industry that belive in a person's right to end thier life. i mean... why should it be a crime anyway? think abou it... we don't know why he tried to kill his kids (succeeding once). perhas he is so depressed that it seemed like the thing to do... well, if he had killed himself instead of his child... *shrugs*
