If Dr. Death is healthy enough to travel, he's healthy enough for prison.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

It is his right to free speech and maybe a lot of people would learn something..it might open their eyes and get them to deal with the realities of death and dying and at the same time deal with the spiritual and moral and ethical dillemas we all face as technology goes further.

It should be an open discussion. Young people are sandbagged when they have no one to discuss things with when they hear someone like him.

He should go back to prison. I smell corruption.

Let him speak but protest the heck out of him on the streets.

Bobby Schindler has the right to protest, Jack also has the right to make a speech, and make a living. I believe that if someone is dying of a incurable disease, and is in sever pain, that they have the right to end their life. I was in a restaurant the other day and saw a person with Lou Gehrig's disease. The guy could not do anything except blink and say a few words. I would rather be dead then in that guys situation.

Can we agree upon the following?

- As long as Kevorkian is a free citizen not subject to legal sanctions, not imprisoned nor under probation supervision, he is free to speak as he wishes. Same as anyone else who enjoys the first-amendment protection of free speech. Same as you or I.

- Any organization is free to choose to pay him to speak, or to choose not to. Same 1A protection. If the speaker fees are paid with taxpayer funds, then there if a good argument hat any Florida taxpayer has grounds to argue against.

- The Schindler family has at least as many free-speech rights as Kevorkian has. Kevorkian has a right to voice his opinion, and the Schnindlers have a right to voice theirs. Any organization has a right to book him to speak, and anyone has a right to tell them they shouldn’t.

So this is not a debate about rights. It is a debate about choices. Some group of people chose to book Kevorkian, and some other folks oppose that. There is no travesty here. This is the system working as it’s supposed to.

Independent of the above, I will note that Kevorkian is famous for helping people die — or killing people, if you prefer — who stated, clearly, that they wanted to die.That is is a different matter from people who were not able to form or express an intent. People like, for example, Terri Schiavo.

My understanding is that Kevorkian acted on informed consent. If I am mistaken, please enlighten me.

The Schiavo’s need to move on.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

I have relatives in another state that are fans of and support this guy (well emotionally they do, they're probalby too cheap to write him a check, thank goodness). Which is one reason I no longer live near them or talk to them. They wanted Terry Schindler dead, too.

[PrepareToLeave]

A little off subject, but my husband said he heard Chris Matthews report that when Fred Thompson was asked about the Terri Schiavo case he said something like ... I'm not familiar with the case, wasn't that a long time ago?

His arrogance is being interpreted as charisma. Personally, I believe elitist arrogance has been dripping from the oval office for decades. He could have answered the question instead of avoiding it with a smirk.

[VirginiaConstitutionalist]

I’m 100% pro-life (meaning none of that “kill ‘em in the case of rape and incest” nonsense) but how is this any different than leftists trying to ban pro-life speakers.

Let the man speak, then prove him wrong.

BIG NEWS: KEVORKIAN WAS POSTPONED AT U OF F cuz the school is reeling from the tasered student who said, "Don't taze me bro." It seems that students are getting t-shirts made for Dr. K's visit that say, "Don't kill me, bro."

It's supposedly postponed until January. www.sptimes.com

KEVORKIAN POSTPONED FOR UF SPEECH!
