@AgnesFlether - Gwen did not take care of Uther in 4 x 01 & 02 out of compassion for him. She did it for Arthur. There's a line in 4 x 01, with Arthur thanking Gwen for taking care of Uther; Gwen responds, "I do it for you". Arthur is fully aware that Gwen never did like his father, she made no bones about it. There's a deleted scene after Uther's death with Gwen and Merlin, asking about her feelings, and again she expressed no love for Uther. She hated him but she couldn't kill him becasue that would make her a murderer. Basically she was not going to stoop to his level. To me that made her human.
