Jack Kevorkian died.

It doesn't say whether or not he offed himself.

Doesn't seem to be any indication that he did.

Not too long after those HBO movies about his life, either.

Say what you will about him, he took what he believed in to the line, and beyond.

As an Oregonian, in a state which was an early adopter of compassionate assisted suicide laws, forgive me for grieving instead of celebrating this kind and compassionate man's death. For his work, my uncle Jerry might not have chosen to drown himself alone in a pool in Vegas when faced with his terminal carcinoma.

I am so glad he lived a long life and made so many changes in the world. He was barely a year older than my father.

Those of you, my friends, who haven't lost many loved ones to terminal disease, might not understand the depth of the kindness that he fought for. But, if you trust me, I can only assure you that he was an angel of mercy in the truest sense of the word. He made it possible for my friends in the most uninterpretable of pain to say goodbye and leave life with honor, and spared them weeks or months of horrific suffering. I bless the man, and his work.

No argument here.  Guy did good work.

Yeah, I have to say even though I was a kid when his controversy was going on and his work was described to me (by a Catholic mother who demonized it) I can recall thinking "Well what's wrong with that?"

Truth, Nigel.

If, may all that's holy or unholy forbid, I have reason to decide to check out early, having someone ensure that I don't fuck it up would be, IMHO, a good thing.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

I never once thought assisted suicide was a bad thing. If we put our beloved pets down when they're suffering, I mean, why NOT a human? I know that's a terrible comparison, but I would have much rather my grandfather had the option to go on his own terms than suffer in extreme pain under so many drugs he didn't know who he was to the very end and make my mother's life a wreck.
