If the circumstances of Doctor Khalili's case were examined and judged according to the utilitarian approach it would not be a crime, rather it would become legislation that one could choose for the purposes of living life with the assistance of a trusted physician to relieve the pain, suffering and unhappiness associated with an incurable disease, or any disease or painful situation that would reduce the quality of one's life and cause pure unhappiness.
