Doctor Jack Kevorkian has been released from prison on parole: http://apnews.myway.com//article/20070601/D8PG36PG0.html
I was wondering, don't we, and sentient beings, have the right to choose death? ...I just saw this so I have to use it::hitlerdance: Is that like an Aryan Shakes?
He should never have been in prison in the first place. If suicide isn't a crime, neither should assisting a suicide be a crime.
Actually, sending Kevorkian a lot of pictures of Grant, printed on the right paper, would almost certainly be part of the deal.
Ethically speaking, He is completely in the right. There is no god damn reason that a person suffering from a terminal illness, or one which the patient deems in their rational judgement is not worth living, to force them to stay alive. For what? A terminally ill patient is dead anyway, the only difference is the means of their death. Painlessly due to morphine overdose, or physically/emotionally painfully as their bodily functions degenerate and they become increasingly disabled. The family will have to see them die anyway, the only real difference being the fact that they dont have to watch their dad degenerate from being nominally healthy, to not being able to stand, clean themselves, or have a coherent conversation due to the sedatives used to keep him from screaming his lungs out and shivering in a fetal position due to 10 on the pain scale agony. The only reason I can see a family having for doing this to their loved ones is some misguided hope that a cure will be found the next day, or a selfish unwillingness to let go. Then there are the people in a persistent vegitative state. That person is dead. The living, thinking individual that used to be there has now stopped existing Pull the fucking plug.
Hmmmmm. Gemini means twin.. of which there are two... which means... Nah... couldn't be. Too obvious.
