The Individual Vs. The State, An Unusual Case

[LennyLen]

It's not about that. It's about honoring the wishes of those you love. It's about what he said to his wife, and his desire to hold true to that after she passes. To sound all corny for a second, that's love.

It hardly matters if she notices. Point is, he made an oath to her, and stood by it.

I'm going to make my loved ones promise to cut me in pieces and scatter them over your lawns. The fact that it's a promise makes it ok, so don't try to stop them.
