MY opinion is: what a waste of time.. what did he do so wrong ? assist ADULT people who were still lucid and IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS who were suffering to end their suffering? he should continue to fight and appeal to have that conviction overturned.

I hear he was released this morning, he is free. He is a qualified and experienced Physician, so he probably knew the legalities and the law. However, what really pushed him over the brink was the fact that when he was facing the Judge who was a lady, he was disrespectful to the Judge who felt that he was disrespecting the law, he may have said something to the effect he would do it again and again and nothing the law could do because the patients gave written consent and their immediate families were willing and he was putting the patients out of their misery. The Judge was very angry and served him the sentence. If he had said he was sorry and was remorseful and that he would not do it again, maybe he may have gotten a lighter sentence.

it took 4 juries to finally convict him. he was found not guilty 3 times before he was finally convicted. what a waste of time and money to prosecute, and and even more waste to house him for 8 years in prison. i work at a prison in michigan, this state imprisions so many more people that any other state, and we are the state in the biggest financial downfall.

I believe that a human being, when faced with a terminal illness prognosis, should have the right to end their life with dignity.
I do not believe that a doctor should assist in ending a human life. This, IMO, is a conflict of interest for the doctor who has sworn an oath to "first, do no harm."

Nope. If you're going to die anyways and you chose to go out on your own terms (peacefully and painlessly) and with dignity, then you should have the right to do so. Kevorkian was offering a compassionate service to terminally ill people who had requested his assistance.

In a way I agree. They consented, and maybe he really felt he was doing the right thing. I think a lot of people would have done the same thing if they had a terminal illness. But it is just kind of an odd thing to do.

No he should not have been sent to prison. I mean the people did this of their own free will.

I agree...he should never have gone to prison, let alone been prosecuted. To me, he was doing a service which the patients requested.

Ya know, too late now. It's over, he will get on with his life of death.
