He was trying to reduce his wifes suffering which in some cases are I guess you would say ok but not ok at the same time. He did it out of love and kindness for her not out of malice. But nonetheless he still killed and took a life and that is still a misdeed but I don't think that the kramic punishment for it would be as bad as if he killed her out of hatred and ill will. It all depends on the situation, although I don't think he should have killed her though but I wouldn't vilify him for it. It's so sad though and kind of sweet because he was so devoted for her. To bad he didn't know the Compassionate Heart Mantra of Quan Yins. If he knew about that and recited it in hopes to relieve her of her suffering she would have gone to a better place and not reincarnate. And because he loved her so much, if he recited it sincerely it would have even cured her. http://www.fodian.net/world/dabei_sutra.htm
