Hi Conrad, Isaac, > Dr Kavorkian would not be too far out in the Netherlands, where such things > are legal, but in Michigan (and the rest of US),they frown on physician > assisted suicide. Yeah, for a medical system we so proudly hail as the best in the world (... but don't ask *my* opinion on the subject), there are some areas where we could use a lot of improvement. Among these, our medical system is generally devoid of compassion for sick people, being structured more around earning money and avoiding lawsuits. Peace, Sarah, who is largely sympathetic to Kavorkian's cause PS Isaac, physician assisted suicide for the terminally ill isn't just "frowned upon." It's illegal. Dr. Kavorkian engages in civil disobediance against this law, with the goal of keeping this issue before the public eye and ultimately seeing doctor-assisted suicide legalized.
