I consider him a truly heroic figure.

Unfortunately he got a bit carried away with his ego IMO and went a little off the rails at one point there.

But big picture ---> heroic.

:yes: didn't he finally get convicted because he insisted on playing his own lawyer?



IAG, much respect and empathy for your taking care of your mother.

I have a hard time taking seriously the troubles of your three little dogs though. :hides:

Thanks Reno. Only Pogo left though...and he's getting up there. I'm hoping he holds out as long as mom...he's good for her.


I have always thought people should have the right to determine the circumstance under which they die..assuming they are mentally competent to make said decision.
 
I believe the main reason Kevorkian got convicted was because he switched from assisting suicide - i.e. setting up the apparatus and letting the person trigger it - to actually triggering it for someone at their request. Which I believe he did on 60 Minutes.

Now in principle, I found that to be no different and just as heroic as everything else he did - but he knew that humans would freak out. And that's exactly what happened. There were other ways to keep pressing his points than being thrown in jail.

I think maybe he thought he was martyring himself and he anticipated a huge groundswell of support for his cause and sweeping reforms, rather than what ended up happening: an interruption in humane suicide assistance.



That's how i remember it. Hopefully someone will correct me if I've got any of that wrong.
 
how many was he doing Muddy? And what do we know about the current state of such procedures? Are they happening?

I feel like it would be great to take a lot of the pressure and stigma out of death. Stop the misery:okpeople:

Might be ok if there was like a shop on the corner where you can come in and purchase the firing squad of rednecks option. :dunno:
 
I knew Vermont just legalized it in last year or two ...certain guidelines in place. The fact that one does not have control over one's own death and isn't between them and any supreme power in which they may believe, is just incomprehensible to me.

I had to look up the number of suicides he assisted. I knew it was a lot.

130, he claimed.

The current state of such procedures varies all over the world. Someone made the news recently by relaxing their restrictions on it quite a bit. Netherlands maybe ??

I am with you on removing the stigma from death. As Kevorkian said, "Dying is not a crime."

It's like so many things. People have their own fears and baggage and superstition - which is fine - if they could just quietly be afraid and keep their hands to themselves - but they want to project their crap on to every stranger in the world.

Fokken retards.

I got a piece of email from Workopolis which begins, Dear [my last name]

Reminded me of when I was 12 years old and me and my little dirtbag friends would address each other by last name. It's something I don't do anymore, address anyone by last name. It was good. There was something liberating about it.

It doesn't seem very professional coming from Workopolis so I might not do business with them but if they want to go ride bikes, I'm in.

I believe you nailed it. I remember that 60 Minutes segment.

Not saying its for me, but its not my decision how another person wants to die if they are suffering.
 
lol

The guy who handles our email marketing quit a couple months ago, and he wasn't replaced. Since then my boss and I have half-heartedly taken over some of the shit he used to do. Someone fokked up the template and removed the ##FIRST NAME## variable and it wasn't me.

Prolly my boss. I'll tell him he fokked up.
