<< Robert Barry, do you have a relative by the name of "Jack Kevorkian"? >>
I wish I did. Jack is a modern day martyr. Few would sacrifice as much as he did, to ease the suffering of others.
His most cherished role of a physician was stolen from him, but he still followed the calls of despair of terminally ill strangers, who were reaching out to him in hopes of a death with dignity.
A person who is dying a painful and miserable death is also losing almost everything else that is dear to them. Death looms over their heads. They want to hang on as long as possible, to be close to their loved ones as long as possible. But, at the end, when they can no longer hang on, they wish for a kind and merciful death.
Jack Kevorkian wanted to grant dying people their last wish.
Conservatives, OTOH, want to refuse dying people their only last wish on this Earth, because they want to jam their mean spirited, supernatural dogma down the dyings' throats.
We've got the wrong one(s) locked up. |
