I am SOOO glad to hear this news. He should NEVER have been incarcerated in the first place.
He was a POLITICAL PRISIONER in my opinion. Much like consenting adults who have sex in private are "breaking" puritianical laws from centuries past.
Euthanesia is accepted in many progressive countries, and I believe even in Oregon. But because a bunch of backwards cavemen in Michigan (sorry don't mean to insult anyone in Michigan who is a progressive person) decreed a BS law this fine doctor had to lose a decade or more of his life.
I believe a sane person of free will has the born right to do as they wish with their body. Whether that is hormonal or surgery enhanced modifications or the termination of life.
Dr. Kevorkian is a hero. He enabled people who would otherwise have to either suffer or die a messy death to pass in a dignified and comfortable manner.
I am just so sorry that I was so wrapped up in my own affairs to get involved in his suffering.
That's what is so wrong withour society. Everyone who stands against tyranny, stands alone. Nobody stands together. If we did, things would change. When you consider the tens of thousands of people each year who are arrested for having consensual sex in private - and every one fights their battle against state repression alone.
Just my opinion,
