[SIZE=2] Kevorkian asks for early release from prison [/SIZE]
Chicago Sun-Times
November 9, 2004

LANSING, Mich. -- An attorney for Jack Kevorkian asked the state parole board Monday to recommend that the assisted suicide advocate be released from prison for health reasons.

Attorney Mayer Morganroth said Kevorkian has health problems including high blood pressure, a hernia and arthritis, and the board should urge Gov. Jennifer Granholm to either pardon him or commute his sentence.

Kevorkian's blood pressure ''has been extremely volatile in nature and has risen to the danger level for a heart attack at times,'' Morganroth wrote in the request.

Kevorkian, 76, has served 51/2 years of a 10- to 25-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. AP

Keep in mind that Hospice kills people every day as policy.

Why would it be OK for the government to kill billions of people all over the place, in the name of profit. Then make it illegal for an individual to end his own hopeless situation, a tormented existense with no possible cure. Are you people aware What Hospice is? Hospice has a license to do exactly what Jack K. is serving 10 - 25 years for. The only difference is Hospice shoves an overdose up your rectum rather than letting you push the button your self.

The reason Kevorkian is in prison is because he was infringing on a multi-billion dollar industry.

I said yes

Why not offer him a choice, continue his sentence or accept the option to take his own life and be "set free" via death?

He knew he was risking such a thing by tempting the laws about aiding what can be called murder. He however should be set free from jail if his probation instructed him not to voice any more opinions or advice about suicide.

Technosoul.

Well said Daniel.

Reduce that same thought down a little farther, and you have yourself a hugely profitable bumper sticker.

Euthanize Kevorkian in '04

Samildanach · Nov 10, 2004, 05:10 am

I say release him, his motives are justifiable and I don't consider him a danger to society as a whole. If anything I consider him more along the lines of an activist demonstrating in something he believes in.

That seems to be correct.

The most important factor is : suferring.
People with incurable diseases suffer horribly. That is beyond comprehention. I read reports in that matter. A "horror story".

Kevorkian should not be jailed at all, not to mention his release.
However, big-business companies care money, only.

If I thought he was doing it to be a mean son of a bitch I would say let him rot, but this is someone who not unlike a coroner or a funeral director does a job most find aborhent and disgusting but someone has to do it to make another persons pain easier. The dying have a right to choose, if they are not religious and worry about the consequence when they leave this earth that is their problem, if they want out, let em out.

I say free the guy.

It is morally right to let people dying in agony suffer. It is morally wrong to assist them to have their last wish, peace and death.

It is interesting to note that if you choose to have your animal die slowly in agony youre liable to be prosecuted, but you are required to select that option with humans, and prosecuted if you give them a peaceful death.

Kevorkian broke the law, and that is why hes in jail. But to morally justify his sentence is quite difficult.
