The Michigan jury found Kevorkian guilty of second-degree homicide. It was proven that he had directly killed a person because Thomas Youk was not physically able to kill himself. The judge sentenced Kevorkian to serve a 10-25 year prison sentence and told him: “You were on bond to another judge when you committed this offense, you were not licensed to practice medicine when you committed this offense and you hadn’t been licensed for eight years. And you had the audacity to go on national television, show the world what you did and dare the legal system to stop you. Well, sir, consider yourself stopped.”

There is no mention in your post of the patient's mental abilioty to make the decision. If he wasn't capable, then I agree with the jury. I am not here to challenge or cupport the decision in that case.

Either way. the facts of the case does not change my position. If you want to address my position and not the facts of the case or the doctor's license, then have at it.
