"Jack Kevorkian, the controversial American doctor who claimed to have assisted more than 100 suicides, has died aged 83."
To my mind, the guy is a hero for having the courage to open up debate and put himself on the line to end the suffering of others
The irony right. Dr.Death........died....... I respected him, and agreed with him. If something really messed up happens to me, pull the plug, and to b honest with you, I wouldn't mind if someone put a pillow over my head and then shot me. Better than suffering with Lung Cancer and METS. I'll pass on that.
By the way Al Pacino nailed Kevorkian's character.
A brave, principled man in a cruel world.
Ironic, though, that he did not do a doctor-assisted suicide himself?

Why? It is a way out for people in intolerable pain and hopeless situations, not advocated for everyone.
I meant in the sense of "setting the example" -
If he had been in a situation where he needed doctor-assisted suicide, I'm sure he would have sought it.
That is the whole point of euthanasia - that a person has the choice over how and when they die.
