Yes: My mother went that way. I am underwhelmed at the compassion on this thread.
If you are talking about a possible lack of compassion for Ben Mugged's personal tragedy, you might be right. If you are talking about Kevorkian, I would humbly submit that a mass murderer such as Kevorkian should have been executed a long time ago for what he did. However, barring that, he shouldn't leave prison except in a body bag stored in a hearse.
