Personally, feelings are mixed on my account. While yes, it does sound appealing and loads of people on Huffington Post and other sites will hail Kevorkian as some sort of hero, I feel he didn't quite fit the mold. Though I welcome further discussion on the topic.

Anybody there to “assist” him?

From what I understand, he didn’t ask for a DNR order, what a hypocrite.

He was obsessed with death, which is really the origin of his nick-name, not because of the assisted suicides he performed. He was called Dr. Death before he began using his suicide machine. He was goulsihly obsessed. He wanted to photograph people taking their last breath.

Pacino said during the speech that it was a pleasure to "try to portray someone as brilliant and interesting and unique" as Kevorkian and a "pleasure to know him." Hollywierd puke.

And there goes to hell an evil man who preyed upon depressed people and conned them into suicide so that he could fulfill his evil blood lust and satanic agenda for murders.
He may have died 'peacefully' in a hospital bed but legions of devils were waiting for him on the other side and he WILL be judged for the many murders he committed in name of assisted suicide.

Don’t know whether it’s true or not, but Rush said today that Kevorkian hung on until the bitter end - meaning that he did everything he could to stay alive. Irony.

I was wondering about whether he made the staff go through a Code Blue for him. How ironic, not to mention expensive.

I don’t know if you’re even aware it’s really common practice in the U.S. today if you call 911 for a sick elderly patient the paramedics will ask if the elderly patient has DNR or advanced medical directive. If the elderly patient has DNR he/she will be taken to the emergency and will be put to death, not in the ER but he/she will never come home. If terminally ill elderly patient with DNR is admitted in the nursing home there is so called comfort solution ready to end his/her life. It’s common practice. There are so many Jack Kevorkian out there today but they keep their mouth shut.

I think I have an inkling.
Unless you’ve walked in the shoes of of anyone who is in complete despair and has no hope, I suppose some wouldn’t understand.
I don’t condone suicide, nor do I think it a selfish act as some think it is.

Well then only mixed part I had was the argument for dying with dignity, otherwise, Jack put a man to death without legal consent known as Tom Youk, and that is criminal, plus the reason why they took him out as a criminal. There is also such a document as a living will, in which you can dictate sedation. I would, however, never call him a hero, which is what I wouldn’t be surprised if the Huffington Post and others were already doing at this instant.
