Thank you for speaking the truth. Kevorkian was not interested in easing the pain or preserving the dignity of a patient. He was a sicko that wanted to be able to watch people die and get away with it. His "work" was not that of helping people finish a complete and fulfilling life and comforting their family. He was obsessed with death. It is a disservice to the merciful staff of hospice and other careproviders that stand by patients and families as they say goodbye. He hid behind these brave folks to pleasure himself.

Kevorkian loves death like a Muslim.

Yup.

And I stand by my comparison of the man to the BTK killer.

I stand by my own weird interest in True Crime and it almost breaks my heart to see really good people defending this man who uses people at their most helpless and desperate for his own sexual gratification.

That's right. There are way too many Catholics and other so called Christians who view the 10 Commandments as the 10 Suggestions. Morality has become situational or what's "comfortable." "God will understand" and all that.

God has an appointed time for our birth and our death. It isn't our choice, no matter how much we are suffering. You can take that to the bank from someone who has suffered to the point of praying for death.

If anyone doubts this read Job. God doesn't have to account to us for any of His decisions. Suffering has a reasoning, often one our human minds cannot understand.

It's absurd and cruel. And yet another intrusion by the government into people's privat lives.

I hope my parents are never suffering. I do not think I have it in me to bear it. And I fear I would do something criminal.

I truly am sorry.

Another Bingo!

Keep saying it over and over, MP. Don't let them make this weirdo into some sort of very undeserving folk hero.

If there is a God,he will *actually* die the day before he's scheduled to be released.

If he gets out, will you accept that as proof that there is no God?

There are many issues that are characterized as being a matter of life and death. For example, the intervention of courts in the matter of how parents treat their children is frequently characterized is being a matter of life or death.

War and Politics makes strange bedfellows and on this issue an old Cromwellian like me and a Roman Catholic like you seem to be in full agreement.

I bet he's just dying to get out. I wonder how he's killing time for the next six months?

I am not in a position to comment on Dr. K., but I am most certainly in a position to comment about dying with dignity.

Both of my parents lived long good lives and unfortunately died long-drawn out painful deaths. My Father passed first - I guess we made all the usual mistakes during his illness. When my Mother fell ill 7 years later, we were a bit more experienced and Hospice was very helpful. I think she went much easier than my Father, but she was still angry that the end took so long to come - she wanted the release.

You are so right, no dignity in the pain, or in having someone wipe your bottom and on and on and on. In some ways modern medicine has extended our life expectancy into the realm of painful and burdensome.

Why doesn't everybody stop the emotional outbursts and read up on what this ghoul Kevorkian really did. (BTW--he was a pathologist, not a physician.)

Agreed. All these folks praising Kevorkian, don't know the truth. He also idolized the Nazi's. He loved everybody dying but himself.
His victims were NOT terminal. And none of his killings were dignified. Unless dying in a van and being left in a parking lot is dignified. Or dying in some dingy cabin somewhere. Or in a hotel room and creating distress for the hotel employees. Kevorkian is a ghoul.

But it's brave to want to help a bunch of middle-aged women suffering from nothing more than depression kill themselves?

I don't know anything about that.
However, since I don't care for your hectoring tone, our conversation is over.

I couldn't have said it better.

I'm a little puzzled by all this talk about "dignity." Is this some sort of new human right like water and breathing? What dignity did Christ (the Son of God!) have during his brutal Passion and death on the Cross??

I can understand an atheist believing in this manner but Christians? Being a Christian is about taking up your Cross and following Christ, however painful or undignified it may be.

Suffering in this life is temporary. The afterlife is forever.

"my suicide comment about cowardice was mainly aimed at someone who just lost all their money or their girlfriend."

This thread had nothing to do with people killing themselves over lost love or no money.

I'm not a Christian.

Do you believe that everyone on this site is a Christian?

That only Christians can be conservatives?

And this post has nothing to do with hospice care or meanie doctors who don't prescribe their dying patients enough morphine.

It has to do with a convicted murdered who's about to be paroled. It has to do with a non-physician who gets his jollies by watching people die in a mall parking lot.
