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.)

Kevorkian has always been obsessed with death and dying. (He admitted to being "intrigued" watching life pass out of a person.) And many of the "patients" (mostly women) who took his fatal cocktail weren't even sick, let alone terminal.

Kevorkian is depraved. His should not be held up as an example of achieving "death with dignity."

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.

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.

Many of the responses I have read are not to the subject of Kevorkian himself, but to the suffering of a loved one.

I, for one, am not praising him. Or lauding him. Or holding him up to be a hero.

I'm glad at least one person on this thread understands the issue.
