Dude. I thought he was 83 when I was in elementary school and he started making the news. He was only 83? You sure that wasn't like 123?
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Jack Kevorkian will not be down for breakfast...
I recall that there was at least one patient of his who supposedly was not really terminal, just depressed 
Although I can understand that people want to end their suffering, I am uncomfortable assisting in any such thing. Even with patients on Hospice,, there is a fine line between pain control and overdosing. Actually had a nurse manager state to me, "So what if your pain med kills the patient,they're terminal!" when I held the pain med on a totally unresponsive,barely breathing patient after calling the MD to get the order to withold. The patient's daughter (not a nurse),who worked at the same hospital I did,was furious!!!!
Instead of speaking with me about why I held the dose,she screamed all the way up to administration.Jeez, her mother was NOT in pain,and we resumed the dose when she started to perceptively breathe!
Yes,she died later,hopefully not from an overdose
