Misfortune?
He CHOSE to kill another human being and videoed it...there was no misfortune involved.

I would think offing people might be a sign of something wrong too...but you and others seem to worship Kevorkian....

Really?
Where in your link does it state that?
You can just cut and paste the section stating that stricter regulations are now in effect.

Thanks.

Physician assisted euthanasia is extremely regulated in Zurich. It is called Physician ASSISTED euthanasia; the lethal concoction is mixed by the physician, but must be consumed ENTIRELY by the patients own will - this entire process is filmed. PAE isn't lethal injection and the patient can absolutely stop the process at anytime prior to consumption of the sodium phenolbarbitol.

Again, these terminal patients, they, themselves want to die. No one else; it is entirely their decision.

I was laughing reading the previous post where someone brought up someone wanting to "off" themselves

Well that is Switzerland,where bureaucracy is rampant.

Why is there ANY need for ANY regulation regarding killing yourself.

Just do it on your own.

Using strawman arguments is a sign of intellectual cowardice.

Or you could read it and see the dates for those incidents mentioned in that article yourself.

Diverting the topic is too....

Kevorkian murdered someone,videoed it,and went to prison for it.
To think that could be in any way considered a 'misfortune' is rather silly.
