I had just finished commenting on how many weird death stories we find in India when I came across this story that takes the cake... well, for today at least -

Woman kills herself so blind sons can see

But corneas of little use to her children, doctors say

NEW DELHI, India - An Indian woman committed suicide so her two blind sons could receive her eyes and see, a newspaper reported Monday.

...Doctors in the southern city of Chennai say Kumar’s condition cannot be helped with a cornea transplant and also suspect his elder brother does not have a cornea defect.

“We had told the family earlier itself that a corneal transplant was not needed for the younger son,” the Express quoted hospital official G. Seethalakshmi saying.

Between the Mother's obvious love and the utter Maji-like tragedy of the whole thing, I'm just speechless.
