Dr Kevorkian,was he right or just a glamorized killer?
Question:
Answers:
I think it was a little bit of both. He was right for helping people who did not want to live an agonizing life and just wait around to die.
But it was also against the law. I do not know what his motives were, so I can not say if he was being kind to these people by helping them or if he was convincing them to die just for fun of having that type of control.

he was right in my opinion
He was/is right. When you are dying a long, protracted, agony riddled death, you tell us if he was right.I doubt that many will be spewing the words, "God's plan is for me to die in agony, and take years to do it."
If the people went to him and asked him to help them, then it wasn't a bad thing. I've seen too many people suffer for many weeks and months of their life and I sure don't want to go like that.
He was right!
he provided a dignified way for people to go out on their own terms instead of wasting away in some hospital bed or suffering with intense debilitating pain
While I agree with him in theory, it is still against the law. And until that law changes, anyone who offers that kind of service will be put under severe scrutiny.
I can't say if his motives were genuine or not as I can't look inside of the man's brain. Would be interesting though, don't you think?
I think it is sad that the prescientific Dr. Kevorkian will probably die well before his name is praised for his compassionate foresight (and, in a sad twist of irony, it'll probably be a slow and painful death).
I feel that, one day, he will be lauded as,.
"The Father of Physician Assisted Autoeuthanization", or something to that affect.;)
He was right and he was wrong. What he was doing was wrong because he was convincing people to end their lives. I lived in Michigan at the time and it was always in the news. That decision should lie in the hands of the family members. It is why people make up living wills and power of attorney for health care. So that never happens and your wishes can be honored. Not in the hands of someone that took money from people to end their lives.
maybe a little bit of both.i think he definitely believed in what he was doing but toward the end i think he might have talked some people into consented that wouldn't have gone that way otherwise
I think he's right and if I end up with a terminal disease and am in too much pain, I would want him to help go out on my terms.
Dr Kevorkian, completely strayed off the moral and ethical path. He was tried and convicted and of his crimes and rightly so. I believe in the right to die and believe it should be a personal choice. Kevorkian solicited, "clients" which went way beyond the bounds of his alleged agenda to alleviate suffering and entered the realm of homicide. He took a chance being a "test case" and lost.
I know a similar man who advocated for the legalization of marijuana, fair enough. He figured the route to take would be to challenge the law and get arrested. He was arrested and represented himself when he was busted for a lot of pot. He figured his rational argument would convince the judge it was time to set a new precedent and he would go free a legal pot hero. He got eighteen months, served six.
I do not think breaking a law in hopes of changing it are off base and misguided.
