Hmm....for some reason I thought he died a year or more ago. Oh well. And no, I do not and did not agree with his methods of assisted murder.

Doctor Jack Kevorkian developed an easy method for those (terminally ill) who wanted to exit life and was condemned for that. His courageous ideas should have been accepted and available. Putting him in prison was wrong.

He did not have a lifelong terminal illness! Which is who he assisted.

He had been hospitalized for a month with pneumonia and kidney problems. The nurses were playing Bach for him at the end. They likely knew it was coming close...he must have known. I call him a coward for hanging on when he ushered people out in the name of mercy.
