If someone really wants to commit suicide they will find a way.

How can "michigan officials" declare that if no hearing has occured? George Soros pay someone off or what?

Agreed. Especially terminally ill patients.
I never liked his methods or his need for press, but Kevorkian fought for what should be a basic human right. The right to die without needless suffering.

He didn't kill anyone who didn;t want to die. In fact, his device is designed so that the person dying releases the chemicals.

The guy is older than dirt - the state probably just wants to avoid having to pay his medical bills while he is in the slammer.

Most of Kevorkian's victims were not terminally ill.
The problem is once you start down that road, what constitutes being "terminally ill" will be defined down.

I'll never fight to deny a terminally-ill adult the right to die with dignity.

Where is the DIGNITY in Suicide??? It's the most cowardice act imaginable.

I'm with you. My father died screaming because the doctors told me they couldn't give him any more morphine without killing him. They moved him into a private room so he wouldn't disturb the other patients and staff.

I'm no fan of Kervorkian but anyone who has worked hospice or cared for a loved one that is terminally ill knows that sometimes death is our friend.

Where is the DIGNITY in Suicide??? It's the most cowardice act imaginable. True, there's no dignity in suicide.
But neither is there dignity in having to hire someone to wipe your rear end for you, hold the jar while you pee, clean your soiled sheets...etc.

Ugh! We had nearly the same experience with my mother. She was in the process of dying; she wasn't going to get "hooked" on morphine, and they doled it out so sparingly, it was heartbreaking. Your father and my mother died in a way we do not allow our dogs to die.
