JP, unless you're being facetious, I think it's more due to the fact that Shepard's probing of Saren, and trying to convince him that what he's doing is wrong, allows Saren a brief period of lucidity. That's why he thanks Shepard, because it allows Saren to take his own life, to free himself from Sovereign's manipulation on his own terms. It's giving him back that one last piece of power, of self control, that Saren utilises to ultimately end himself, so that he's free again in death.
It's telling that Liara sympathathises with Saren. Because she is so compassionate, she realises that he is not acting of his own free will, and is completely unaware of the fact that he is being manipulated and controlled through indoctrination. It's very admirable that Liara feels sorry for him for this, and testament to her caring nature.
