Execution would seem more appropriate. And dignified.

[Suzy Quzy]

Hey Dr. death....drip....drip....drip,

[mountainlyons]

Ann Coulter should have an interesting comment.

[lastchance]

Where is the BARF alert.

I say to Hell with Kervorkian. Let Kervorkian die in a prison hospital. or better yet give the man a hefty bag, some twine and a hose piping in CO. Then his body can be dumped on some landfill for the rats and carrion birds to eat.

[freekitty]

Let him stay in jail.

[eleni121]

The only thing worth commenting on is this writer's name:

Judi K-Turkel

Is she related to the K-Marts?

As for Kevorkian...wasting away bit by bit locked up in a cell is too good for him.

[RichInOC]

Do they have a petition to leave him there but let him have his "kit"? I mean, if it was good enough for the goose...

[Kenny Bunkport]

A very sick 78-year-old doctor

We know he's very sick. But does this mean he's not well?

[BenLurkin]

Is this satire?

[JohnLongIsland]

why doesn't he do everybody a favor and practice his own medicine on himself? that would be the ultimate degree of dignity.

[Kenny Bunkport]

despite public support for Terri Schiavo's right to die

Grrrrr....[Counting to ten....] OK, I'll let that one pass for now, except to say that is a fancy bit of spinning the writer performed.

[Volunteer]

This guy does not deserve dignity.

Dr. K you are going to die in prison. I hope you die in pain, alone, and afraid.

[colorado tanker]

Yep, strap 'im to the gurney and "assist" his "death with dignity."

[Uncle Meat]

I used to work for this trucking company that had a driver that looked identical to Dr.Kevorkian.That was what we started calling him.He would ask how I was feeling,I'd tell him"I'm feeling fine,I don't need your help!"

[wagglebee]

Deny him food and water and let him experience the same "euphoria" that Terri Schiavo did.

[SunkenCiv]

Sorry, Doctor Death, serial killers don't get a reprieve.

And according to at least one US court, lethal injection isn't legal.

Burn in Hell, mass murderer.

[Captain Rhino]

"Death is still an unpopular subject, despite public support for Terri Schiavo's right to die. But at least now doctors and hospitals urge us all to provide legal end-of-life do-not-resuscitate and no-heroic-measures directives. If you've ever been grateful that a loved one got you off the hook by "having it in writing," it's partly stubborn, crusading old Dr. Kevorkian you can thank."

With all due respect, Judi: b_ _ _ s _ _ _!

The movement to create durable powers of attorney, "do not resuscitate/no heroic measures" orders predates "Dr. Death" by many years and has a completely different impulse.

Despite initial light treatment and repeated warnings that the active assistance he was giving to his victims was unlawful, he defiantly persisted. Even he now admits that, on reflection, his actions were misguided. But adults are responsible for their actions. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced according to law and his conviction has been upheld on appeal.

He is exactly where he should be. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

(1) Comrade author is from the Peoples Republic of Madison. Enough said.

(2) Granholm is never going to commute Dr. Death's sentence, and risk looking weak on crime/prison/sentences.

(3) Kevorkian's spokesman has stated Dr. Death will renew his promotion of euthanasia if granted early release:

(ABCNews.com) -- "While Kevorkian stands firmly by the cause of physician-assisted suicide, his lawyer said he would promote the movement by speaking out or writing, not by helping out in any more suicides.
"At this point, he would never perform it again," Morganroth said. "But he certainly would work towards getting it legalized wherever possible."

(4) The Conservative First Rule - Preserve Life. Thusly make sure Dr. Death's Hep C is treated to the absolute fullest extent possible - in prison.

(5) Kevorkian will live out his life in prison.

[Minutemen]

Didn't he get to take one of his death machines with him?

[goldstategop]

Starve him to death! Just like the caring folks did to Terri Schiavo. Drop the hypocrisy you're concerned about the dying. Admit the only compassion you liberals ever display is reserved for murderers like Jack Kevorkian. And of course he killed innocent people. But we don't need to be concerned about mourning the destruction of innocent lives - like the ones he stole from his victims. Instead, we get a plea to make a butcher's last hours on earth more comfortable. Spare me.

Parole in mid-2007. Let 'im wait. If he exits with toe tag so be it.
