Only because people such as yourself want to deny people the right to chose to end their suffering and needed a little help it gettting it done. He did the right thing, he helped them stop their suffering. Such compassion, is denying people the right to make their own choices about their own life a good thing to you, oh wait, never mind

The one who imposes suffering on people is the criminal...think of that when you look up at the sky.
You must have forgotten about family members who testified that their loved ones were not competent to make end of life decisions. Kervorkian chose death for those victims.

In what way were those family members qualified to make such a judgement?
Anyone could say whatever they wanted, the dead could not provide rebuttals nor be available for evaluation by qualified personnel.
And still this:

Family members would be most qualified to know if a patient was mentally competent, not a doctor who dropped in to kill.
He had pneumonia and kidney problems.......those are not necessarily terminal illnesses.
Then.....he had a BLOOD CLOT. Kinda hard to plan on suicide since blood clots cannot be diagnosed ahead of time and kill pretty quickly.
He was not laying there with a terminal illness like cancer or ALS.
Why is this so hard to grasp?
Actually...it gets even better. He was scheduled to be released to a rehab facility next week. People with terminal illnesses don't go to rehab...they go home or to hospice to die.
So why people would ever think that he'd plan to use the machine in his condition before he died...is beyond me.
Good point. Why is there a law against assisted suicide? It should be between you, your family, and your doctor. We are not free, if the government denies us individual choice.
No your doctor cannot be directly involved in you killing yourself,and neither can any other person,it is YOUR decision and YOU should be the ONLY one doing the actual deed.
Those who are so wanting to kill themselves need to grow a pair and do it and stop wanting others to do the dirty work.
Yes. Dr. Kervorkian was not personally involved in the care of these patients. He only dropped in to kill them.
