“Doctor Death” has himself died. You always knew this was coming. It’s just hard to know what to say when a man like that dies. It takes a bit of a psychopath to kill over 100 people and then have “no regrets” about that.

Jennifer,
That same Telegraph article says that 2 out of 3 people among the general population support euthanasia.
Why the discrepancy?
I think that doctors realize that they will be the ones to pull the trigger on people who are requesting to die. It is one thing to say that you have a right to do what you want with your body, it is something quite different to demand that someone else kill you. Doctors don’t want to be executioners.
I wonder, among the doctors who support euthanasia, how many of them would be willing to actually administer the lethal injection? Or, would they just pawn off the duty on one or two doctors who only perform euthanasia?
What kind of slippery slope are we headed down?
The slippery slope we’re heading down is one where in a few years people will see Kevorkian as a hero who was ahead of his time, the same way a lot of people see Morgentaler today. Euthanasia will be mainstream in a generation or so, and the culture of death will have taken another giant leap forward. I don’t want to pessimistic about this, I really wish it wasn’t true. But with so much popular support I don’t see any other future. We will have euthanasia.
I think the doctors who express a willingness to “help” their patients die have little idea of what that will entail. I imagine that, much like the current crisis in finding doctors willing to perform abortions, many doctors will express support for euthanasia, in theory, but be reluctant or outright refuse to participate in it.
