Dr. Kevorkian passed away this morning

[MTK]

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.

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.
