Maybe he wants to kill her again.
- jacquesm 16y agoThat was uncalled for I think. It's not even remotely humoristic and if it was not meant as humor then this comment is probably a new low for HN. The bit where he writes in this letter about wanting to raise her with his children to me clearly indicates the man is out of his mind, far more than his crazy plan of resurrecting her does (and as if murdering your wife isn't indication enough in that direction). I don't see any evidence that Reiser wants to kill his wife again but I do think that when he has served his sentence and is released that he probably should be placed in a hospital of sorts. Of course his plan doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of working in the first place, clearly he has lost whatever marbles he still had. Involving the kids in his minds view of this scheme is particularly painful, I think they'll need all the healing they can get without this sort of weirdness, they've been scarred for life already.

- code_duck 16y agoNo, I shook my head and pondered how clearly mentally unbalanced Reiser is.
- shasta 16y ago> clearly indicates the man is out of his mind I'm not a psychologist, but I think you may be on to something here. Thanks, you've talked me out of donating.
- jonhendry 16y agoAt the very least, I think it shows that he wants a version of his wife that could be controlled and manipulated. Really not a healthy mindset, I don't think. And that's not even getting into sexual issues.
