Before Dr. Kevorkian, there were countless people who, facing no hope of medical cures for their ailments, took their own lives or were assisted in doing so by family, friends and so forth. That said, there is no real need for his services, other than for the reasons Jericho has brought up, which surely cannot apply to each and ever client Dr. Kevorkian has assisted in taking their lives. If a person is determined to die, and no one else intercedes, my position is that they will die. If I were in their position, I would not have needed help, unless I was a parapelegic, or too destitute to purchase the necessary items. That's all I was trying to say.
