I would not lay a finger on that ax.  Terrifying.  I would probably be the speechless one.  I mean, it's good to respect wishes at the final minutes, but an ax? Gross.  If I was Billy, which I'm not, I would never forgive myself.  I would run to get help and have somebody else do it.  Yikes.  I would probably cry or even hurl...I would blame myself.
