I'm rather split on this one.

I have witnessed some amazing incidents of folks who could persevere through much [[had a beautiful neighbor in Rosedale who suffered with Cancer for 11 years to the bitter end). Can't say I'm one for persevering without complaint myself [[but sometimes I surprise myself, thank God above). Remember there is a difference between "suicidal" and "death wish" [[and I can cite six godly men from scripture who broke down and prayed to God to end their life).

I still don't believe anyone of us should be "masters of our own deaths" [[as many authors believed-be they macho ones like London or Hemingway-and we trust that Twain did "naturally" go "out with the comet". Yet, I'm reminded of that scene from the independent film Sleeping Beauty in which the paid comatose prostitute traumatically wakes up to find that one of her rich johns had planned an assisted suicide for himself.). For our time is God's call.

Regarding Kevorkian, I still maintain he was a better artist than a "doctor" [[some of his paintings can be found in Watertwon, MA at the Armenian Museum of Americahttp://archive.boston.com/yourtown/w...E1K/story.html-one of a few ties-along with the Romneys-we have with Massachusetts).

As a legal diversion, I just found out [[from Heavy) that one of those that had [[fairly?) prosecuted Kevorkian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBzOmWMv_DEwas the husband of that horrible judge, Lisa Gorcyca....Remember her? She was so nasty towards children that wanted to stay with their pediatric doctor mom and repeatedly said the father was abusive and wanted nothing to do with him. She talked down to them, called them crazy, handcuffed them, and she lied about investigations into her behavior.http://www.freep.com/story/opinion/c...used/77365840/ and just when you thought decent justice would prevail in this country for a change...http://patch.com/michigan/bloomfield...-gorcycas-back- guess she has a lot of powerful allies. http://www.commdiginews.com/life/fam...il-time-57804/So, she's back at it on the bench. [[wonder if I will get gagged for bringing all this up?-interesting to see what friction to be had of this). What a nightmare for the kids, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hope-l...b_8724060.htmland to be put through some "camp" [[be it privatized and run by God knows who and with what agenda-be it pharmaceutical, religious, political, or otherwise).

Interesting that we live in the "land of the free", which makes it "free" for others more powerful than us to strip us of our freedoms and engineer every aspect of our lives and, of course, our eventual deaths.... ... .. .
