Assisted Death

[thecrazyone]

LANSING, Mich.---- After more than eight years in prison, a frail Dr. Jack Kevorkian will be paroled in June with a promise that he won't assist in any more suicides, a prison spokesman said Wednesday.


I saw the forum on capital punishment, and I was just curious what you all think about the whole "assisted suicide" thing? If someone REALLY wants to die do you think that it should be illegal for a doctor to do something like that? Even if they will end up commiting suicide either by O.D, shooting themselves, stabbing themselves, drowning, jumping off a building/cliff? I dont know... It's a touchy subject so I figured i'd post something of it.

i wouldn't even know where to begin...
if a person wants to kill himself or herself who are we to stop them? it's their right to do what they want with their bodies, but it's morally screwed up. kevorkian can be seen as a good guy for helping people to do it in the most comfortable way, but essentially he's helping to kill people.
i'd like to see some debate over this also.

oh it does, just some people are too incompetent to use it.

that may also be why he posts stuff in the wrong forum :thinking:
