Jack Kevorkian's Death Van and the Tech of Assisted Suicide​

 

[PapaG]

Now who is going to lead the ObamaCare death panels?

Kevorkian was one of the more astute sociopaths out there.

"Hey, give me money, and I'll kill you!"

Not great for repeat business, but for a serial killer, it's really the only quasi-legal way to do it.

Also, why didn't Kevorkian have anybody kill him?

He himself had appealed to leave prison early because of poor health, but said he did not consider himself a candidate for assisted suicide.

Coward...

Also, why didn't Kevorkian have anybody kill him?

Coward...

Probably because he wasn't in constant, untreatable, unbearable pain, as were his patients.

Openly defying the law to help tragically suffering Americans when their own government mocks and abanddons them, then spending his golden years in jail rather than accept a plea deal requiring him to lie and denounce his beliefs and compassion, I'd save brave is the word you're searching for.

He had liver cancer and begged his way out of prison because of his failing health.

He was a cowardly sociopath/serial killer who profited from his victims.

Hey, it's my murderin' machine!!!

The NY Times article yesterday credits Oregon's assisted suicide law to Kevorkian.

Isn't "assisted suicide" an oxymoron? Like "sharp dull" or "black white" or a "round square" or a "square circle." I thought that the essence of "suicide," like "auto-biography," is that only one person does it.

He played PG in the game of life throwing alley-oop assists for those final slam dunks.

Kevorkian was a good man. The fact that he was jailed is ridiculous imo.
