jack kevorkian was re-introduced into the wild without a lot of fanfare. there should have been a welcome back party, maybe a parade, and an assisted suicide table ready and waiting. "the old people have somehow multiplied since you left, sir." why was he not a national hero? that dude was good at suiciding old folks, and they were grateful for it. they paid him to do it. why is that illegal? it's their body. i can understand people not being pro choice when another life form is in the body, but when you're just going solo you should be able to do whatever the hell you want with your body. put tattoos on it, sell it for sex, and pay people to kill it for you. especially if you're in a lot of pain. you can't die on your own terms? even when you're laying in a bed barely breathing through a tube with all your feces in a little sack laying right next to you. bed sores all over your body. it's illegal for someone (for a small fee) to painlessly put an end to all that glory? what if they wheel you out into the middle of a pack of wolves and have you sign a note saying, "i am going to kill these wolves with my bare hands"? when they find the tattered remains of your bed gown they can't prove that you wanted to die. "he thought he could take them". your friends were only helping you cross one more thing off your 'things to do before i die' list. is that what we want as a society? old folks cleverly finding ways to die that look like they didn't do it on purpose? "he thought he could punch the train to a stop." let's grow up and let jack kill them.
