RIP Jack Kevorkian

I agree with Epsilon on this one. This also ties into a whole host of issues, such as people on artificial life support, sometimes they wake back up and sometimes they never do, it's very hard to say what to do in that case. Or people in their nineties who have lost their mobility and have suffered multiple strokes. Some of them just want to die in peace and with dignity while some want to struggle till the end. That should be their choice, on the other hand a suicidal teenager should not have that option but instead get counseling, which again gets very murky if they have some degenerative disease that will kill them within months. Overall a difficult and murky issue, and Kevorkian was no saint but he did the best he could.

In some ways he reminds me of Bush with the wild west attitude, but it's easier to admire in an activist rather than a world leader.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
