Felos reminds me a great deal of Kevorkian, and not just because they're both in the assisted suicide business (although admittedly, Kevorkian's on an enforced hiatus right now). When Kevorkian was practicing medicine, he would peer into the eyes of dying patients in hopes of seeing...something--the spark go out, perhaps? Death holds an endless fascination for these two. Maybe it's the heady sense of power they feel when administering death to someone, whether using carbon monoxide or legal writ. I guess I'm saying that both are excited by sensation, not motivated by principle. At least Michael Schiavo's motive--greed--is a motive I can understand.

This comparison is an insult to convicted murderer Kevorkian, who made doubly and triply sure his victims wanted to die, and were terminal. He would not touch a case when the wish to die was hearsay from an interested party who had deserted his spousal duty, and the victim was not terminal. Yet these were circumstances of Terri's killing.
