I know a person that lives and goes to church in Kervorkian’s neighborhood. She once told me that everyone thinks assisted suicide is wrong, but no-one wanted to see Kervorkian punished.

Go figure.

May he rest in peace.

Know anyone who argues that Kevorkian only "helped" the terminally ill?

Here's a good link to point them to

Kevorkian rushes to fulfill his clients' desire to die

Assisted suicide goes on every day, it’s called hospice care. It can be done at home, once you tell them you have decided to stop eating and drinking as well as stop treatment, they give you meds for the pain which may also help kill you with less suffering.

This is done all the time. Not saying “assisted suicide” should be legal or is a good thing, but this is reality. If you know elderly or other terminally ill folks, you learn this.

Million Dollar Baby also clouds the issue. The thing was, Kevorkian's "clients" didn't seem to be terminal or suffering a markedly degraded QOL
