[Watchmen] Why didn't Dr. Manhattan erase Rorshach's memory or teleport him to somewhere he wouldn't escape?

I never understood.

Its an act of compassion.  To teleport him or erase his memory would have been fundamentally contrary to the wishes of Rorshach.  Rorshach is ready and willing to die for his beliefs to give him anything less would have been an unnecessary cruelty.  Manhattan having some amount of respect for Rorshach grants him his final wish.
