Dr. Kevorkian passed away this morning

Fail to me for bring up heaven and hell, as though I care about either. It was just a whimsically thought on my part. Oh silly me.

It wasn't Kevorkian's job to make sure people were really terminally ill, etc. He made it possible for people who were in pain and wanted a way out that wasn't traumatic or painful. People that came to him came to him for a single reason. It was their choice.

Instead of soaking up their families hard earned money on something that most likely isn't curable they decide to pass on. I understand that decision. I don't want to spend my life in pain just sitting in a hospital bed all day. Not for me.

It's ok to put animals down but not humans, who are at least capable of making that decision for themselves. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Legal drugs, assisted suicide. You are a loose cannon sir. A loose cannon. Let me say that one more time for dramatic effect. Loose cannon. Whats next not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign?

You never roll through a stop sign? C'mon now. I'm guessing you don't ever run with scissors either.

You're a long time veteran here, you should know the playbook by now. One man's whimsical thought is another's knock down/drag out brawl.

Eyeroll at the assumption there's some higher power that gives a shit what Jack Kevorkian did on this Earth.Eyeroll at the assumption that I give a shit what your opinion is of my beliefs.

I agree. We treat our dying animals better than we treat our dying relatives.

My father died of cancer last August. The final week of his life (not much living going on, but alive nonetheless, I suppose), he was essentially in a drug induced coma, starving to death. What purpose does that serve?

It's just sad. They'll drug you up to the point where you're not even aware of what's going on, but how about just ending your suffering altogether and get on with the inevitable at that point?

Sorry for your loss man.
