Your prayers now will do no good. He has met his Maker and received his just rewards.
I wonder if, at the very end, he was hoping for just one more minute? I hope that it took looking death square in the face to make him understand the preciousness and sanctity of life that everyone deserves.

He is in eternal hell now. It will be an awful price but it’s too late for him. Playing God is an fearful role to play and God will NOT be mocked. Unless he asked for forgiveness, his eternal destiny has begun.
Like many post-graduate degree holders (not all) such as lawyers, doctors, and college professors, arrogance on life and death knew no bounds, save his own. Cancel all his appointments, and don’t forget the Solarcain, he’ll need it.
Amen
The original one man medical death panel.
Doctor Death died?
Death comes not on our terms, but on God’s terms. May the Lord have mercy on him.
He knew very well what he was doing.
Using the words of Jesus which were truly applicable in that situation, is disingenuous and reek of false piety.
There are not too many people who I will not feel sorry for when they get their just desserts, and he is one of them.
post-of-the-decade.
So long Dr. Death. I doubt your name is in the book at St. Peters gates.
oh please. You might as well beg forgiveness for lucifer.
Talk about irony!
Jack finally gets to meet his hero.
His true followers should off themselves. Then I'll take them seriously.
Amen
When my 93 year-old grandmother had already tried to stick a metal fork into her 2nd pacemaker (The Lord had not yet heard her prayers for His compassion), my dad looked me in the eye like he never had before and said, “I don’t want to go like that.”
She lived miserably for the next 3 years in the same old nursing home before septicemia finally laid her down. Septicemia, when she’d survived a bout with Guillian Beret 20 years earlier and then the type of diabetes that caused the loss of one eye and her sight in the other? She survived for 31 years after the slow, horrible death of my grandfather (1975, inoperable lung cancer). Also, the slow, excrutiating death of a 15 year-old grandson (1984, brain tumor) and we never heard her complain about whether or not life was treating her and her family fairly.
I’m not sure if my dad intends for us to fly him to the Netherlands or to find him another Dr. Kevorkian if a worst-case scenario eventually plays out but I can understand his concern because I too, would be looking for another way should I find myself in my grandparents’ or cousin’s shoes someday.
One would think that the US Constitution could provide an alternative to gross indecencies suffered by innocent human beings whose quality of life is beyond the point of no return. Whose only remaining choices in their pursuit of happiness lead to releasing surviving loved ones and themselves from the burdens of long term, pointless suffering in the name of God or that it is God’s will. I wouldn’t want to see a dog suffer and die the way my grandparents did and as the Executor of my father’s estate, I vow to do my father’s (dear old Dad) will above anything else...Mom’s too. That’s not a threat, it’s a promise!
