Kevorkian still favors assisted suicides

what about abortion, then? should the doctor just kill the baby 'cuz it's mama screwed up? (obviously there are exceptions to this, but too many people use it as birth control, and then too many people are OK with that and then hypocritical on an issue like this.)

Anyway. I really don't see what everyone's deal is with wanting to "save" everyone else from dying. If someone wants to die, for God's sake, let them do it with some dignity. The assisted suicide method is very humane, especially since so many of you have a gross reaction to say, suicide by handgun. Or OD.

It's this kind of crap that makes me think that God has an ultimately twisted sense of humor. Most believers think that God has promised some sort of paradise for you after you die. All you have to do is be a fairly decent person, admit the **** that you've done wrong, make your inner peace with the man, let it go, and you're in there like swimwear. Now, he gets to sit up there and watch all the pathetic little humans fear and put off death for as long as possible. That has to be ironically funny to him in some way. Exactly how selfish do you have to be to keep grandpa or great aunt wanda in a vegetative state with respirators and feeding tubes just so you don't have to say goodbye? Losing relatives and friends sucks, but your life goes on 'til it doesn't, then someone who said goodbye to you will get to go on, too. Of course I'll get blasted for this because it isn't going along with the rules of fitting in as a Ledgie, but I don't really give a damn, so flame on. And please, don't even say that suicide makes you go to hell thing.. because these patients would have already been dead if God's nature had run its course without all this medical intervention to keep them hanging on by a thread.
