Well, I couldn't carry a pistol about with me, as I would too often be tempted to use it on other people.

People who refuse to commit suicide should be killed.

His cause was not only the right to die for the terminally ill, but for people like Mr. Thompson too. I can imagine a time when I might want to end my own life, and I should be able to. Only Religious institutions and governments take your rights to live and die out of your own hands.

Agreed.

But anyone short of being paralyzed can do it alone or with just a little help from hospice; Jack and his van and his I.V. drip apparatus was a little over the line of twisted obsession. He was more into seeing people die than being the protector of individual rights than he or the media or the movies made out. I've had this aguement with loved ones and now with my online loved ones, and it's a small distinction but important as I don't want to hang on at the end running up bills for my family, either.

And don't get me started on his lawyers...

Question is, how would you end it all?

Yeppers. And people who kill should be forced to commit suicide. (I'm talking to you, Death Row inmates. )

I intend to hang on for dear life and suffer to the bitter, painful end, but I still agree with kevorkian's cause. Irony. I actually agree with you that there's a creepy edge to what he did. He did something very radical which is to question americas 'life=good, death=good' paradigm. I think he was the right person at the right time to raise the issue, and improved hospice care is due in part to his making such a scene.

That's inhumane, talking about that Death Row folks should be pitted against each other in deathmatches. That'd be some quality entertaiment

Death row death matches? Oh no. I prefer my righteous deaths to be clean, quick, and over before the cocktail hour.
