How do you feel about Jack Kevorkian and what he did when he was alive?

Honestly, I think he was a little creepy.  However, I think his heart was in the right place. I think it is alright for terminally ill patients to choose when to end their lives, so I think that it was brave of him to be willing to help them even though it came at great personal cost. Like the presenting group said, to be able to kill yourself in Washington and Oregon you have to have been diagnosed as terminally ill by two physicians and have six months or less to live. There is a 15 day waiting period and you can opt out at any time. In fact, it’s the patients who administer the fatal medication so everything is up to them. Kervorkian was just a little ahead of his time. What he did brought more attention to this issue which was a good thing. Obviously, Kervorkian made headlines and he got to talk to people like Barbara Walters. It wasn’t as though Kervorkian was practicing euthanasia; he only helped terminally ill people who were in a lot of pain, but lucid. Kervorkian stood up for what he thought was morally right even though it wasn’t legal which I think can be considered commendable.
