Jack is my hero! 

[natuankur]

this man is one of the most honest people i have ever seen......

[RobR4455]

Having watched my father deal from his terminal illness, he used to say I'd be better off dead. I should just die. We're all going to die so why fight the inevitable lets just get it over with. Nobody wants to die but when life becomes so unbearable shouldn't a person have the right to say ENOUGH, it's time to end it. Dr Kevorkian was just saying if you've come to that conclusion at the end of a terminal illness then why not allow them the right to say OK let's accept the inevitable and go with.

Gupta is a typical moralizing, self-righteous twat. Kevorkian is exactly right--no one knows better than the individual involved whether he or she should choose to terminate his or her life.

no fucken volume idiot

[ToneAntone]

A bitter old guy who did not achieve much in life. Basically wasted his brain with lots of tiny, unimportant projects that led nowhere. (I mean, a water bike? WTF? FAIL!)

Turn the volume UP !

Kevorkian sees the bullshit from a mile away. He's not falling for those carefully worded questions. "So anyone who wants to die should have that right?" Implying that Jack condones killing healthy people. Jack struck that down and he had that emotion in his voice that so many people lack on TV.

isn't the end verdict that he wants to help suffering people? I've had different shit that I've suffered through but for that kind of shit that doctors can't help you with it fucking sucks. people who say that he was a psychopath or evil have no leg to stand on.

[donalfredito]

"Is your purpose as a physician, how can you regret helping a suffering patient?"

Dr. Kevorkian, a true man of compassion.

@muslimempire well, really, i don't think of interviews as a competition between two people. I think they're carrying out a dialogue, an argument, trying to see how each other think, and figure out a possible "better" view of looking at things.
