  • Jack Kevorkian (Dr. Death) dies @ 83

    Jack Kavorkian, the pioneering leader in compashioned end of life has met his own end. Kudos to him for bringing the important issues to the forefront, too bad he had to spend years in prison.

    And with all those last dying years with Hepatitis and other ailments, I'm sure people were wondering if it would have been much better if he was allowed to end it sooner. Time for a Dr. Death II to take the reigns, wherever he may be... or at least move to Washington, Oregon or Montana.

      I was just thinking the same thing...we need to clone that man! Several years ago I was inadvertently put in the position of helping a very ill friend research the possibilities for her own suicide...and remember thinking how unfair it was that there wasn't a "specialty" to turn to. In my friend's condition I felt she had the right to make that decision. She'd already made many decisions to fight for and extend her life. Once her options were up she should've been able to turn to yet another specialist to help her make her transition before she got to the point of suffering. Death with dignity. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but something that should be legally available. Mahalo, Dr. K. You provided a valuable service. May you rest in peace.

        I agree with all of you that there's a definite need for it, and kudos to those states that do have systems at this point. Those states do require a lot of paperwork and evaluations and approvals, but those who do qualify can do the euthanasia. Good for them.
        Overpopulation is the planets biggest problem and is only going to get worse, plus the incredible waste of zillions of dollars on keeping people alive who will never recover or don't want to. That's money that could be spent on kids and other critical issues.
        I know that's all simply worded, but I'm rushing around over here. Sorry. You get my point(s).

        That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

          So, despite terminal illness and pain, it is illegal to end your own life under medical supervision. But it is OK to have capital punishment for adults. And abortions for the unborn. It is such a strange world we live, and die, in.
          Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.
