Always been a fan, happy to hear this. I just assumed he'd die in prison one day. Hopefully he can successfully further his cause.0

Funny how he went to prison for assisting somebody who has Lou Gehrig's disease, of which my mother has. And on many occasions I have heard the plea that she just wants to die. A bit heartbreaking in a way but from a stand point of a healthy human being who has had to watch what happens with that disease, I can see why one would not want to live with it.
All the power to ya Kevorkian. For a person who has all their marbles and is in pain or can't move or is dying a slow death, you are a saviour!You've changed your place in this world!0 -
If someone wants to die..let them die....pretty simple really. Jack just helped them by making it much easier. Other thought...there are people that kill that have gotten lighter sentences than what Jack received...what gives???
Guess when I get old, I'll move to Oregon....or better yet maybe move there now.....10-18-2000 Houston, 04-06-2003 Houston, 6-25-2003 Toronto, 10-8-2004 Kissimmee, 9-4-2005 Calgary, 12-3-05 Sao Paulo, 7-2-2006 Denver, 7-22-06 Gorge, 7-23-2006 Gorge, 9-13-2006 Bern, 6-22-2008 DC, 6-24-2008 MSG, 6-25-2008 MSG0 -

Dr. Death now roams the streets...muuuuhaahaahaha!!!
oh well...It's about that time I guess.Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

my prayers go out to your mum. a healthy human can't imagine how someone with a life altering disease can effect them. they can't know the anguish of being trapped inside ones body. maybe if one could imagine their head; alive in a jar; and still thinking. is that really life? science says it is but the one experiencing it says no. those pleas can rip your heart out. good luck with everything man. you can always PM if you need to talk.0 -

Oh even! :( That's awful! I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you and your Mum. They do nothing I realize, my thoughts, but I send them and love to you both. It's diseases like this one that show you just how truly alone you really are in this world and that no amount of love can save a person from that suffering. I think the very important thing that Dr Kavorkian and others like him give the chronically ill and debilitated is a choice. They give power back. Power to make the ultimate choice. And choices are so few and far between when you are being betrayed by your own body.NOPE!!!

I love how the political pundits just drop labels on people. They named this old man who did terminally ill people a favor "Dr Death" like he was a comic book arch villain to rally support against him. It makes me sick. Dr Jack served 7 years in prison for what? FOR HELPING PEOPLE?!?!?!? What’s with that? Now he’s being released spend what little time he has left on this earth to die a slow agonizing death because he has HEP C. BTW do you know where he got the HEP C, by helping people in Vietnam by doing studies on blood transfusion aka HELPING PEOPLE. The man has done his duty as a doctor by helping people his entire life, and for that the government decides to punish him because they know better? REALLY, do you believe that it is the government’s choice when and how someone dies or that someone with a terminally ill disease should just live with it? For shame uptight Michigan legal system.0

I am very happy he is out! I wish the media that was so interested when he was helping people die, and that are interested now, were more vocal and interested while he rotted in jail the past 8 years.
I have seen people who should die and the marvels of medicine are keeping them alive in state a of mind and health that is inhumane.
Maybe it isn't Jack we need as much as making medicine stop forcing these people to live beyoned the time that they really are ready, and should, move on.
I also see this the same as pro-choice. I have a right to what I do to my own body. How is it any different that I have the choice to have an abortion, but not the choice to die in Jck's way. Its no different.
I have seen too many people who the marvels of medicine are keeping them alive in a state that is just cruel.
Recently I saw an old man brought into the ER who was like an infant. It was bad. I told my bf, who saw him too, that if I ever get like that put a pillow over my face and let me go.
You know, it isn't Jack who is wrong...modern medicine too often doesn't allow nature to run its natural course and allow people to die when they should. That is inhumane.
We need to really think about life, period. Death is part of life, and I feel doctors need to back off and let it happen.
They are the cruel ones too often, only cuz of all the marvels of medicine and their oath. But, I find they do harm, against that same oath, by forcing people to live past when they should be allowed to go on.
Its to bad Jack really lost what he was trying to do. And his old lawyer, Feiger can kiss my ass.
He was on TV yesterday talking all this crap like he really is behind Jack and cares. BS!!! He dropped him and quit helping him, after it was Jack who made Feiger have a great career now with lots of money.
I wish Jack well, and its too bad he didn't succeed in giving us the right to what we do to our own bodies, which i thought was mine, not the governments.Save room for dessert!0 -
it never fails to amuse me that we can't stand to see our pets suffer, and so will euthanise them, but we're more than happy to watch someone we love suffer until the bitter end.hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say0 -
any bets on saying he drives his wife absolutely batshit in the first week at home by going around the house repeatedly unplugging absolutely everything from the walls?
hehe Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,

I know! We'd all look down on anyone who kept Fido alive and suffering for weeks or months past the time he had anything resembling a life, but no one bats an eye if we do the same to Grandma.catefrances wrote:it never fails to amuse me that we can't stand to see our pets suffer, and so will euthanise them, but we're more than happy to watch someone we love suffer until the bitter end.
Dr. Jack fought the good fight and it's a shame for all of us that he lost :("Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630
