EUTHANASIA To Help or Hinder

             Personally, I disagree with euthanasia. I don't think God
             intended for man to decide when, where, and how to take
             Sometimes we as humans feel we are helping others and
             in actuality end up hurting more than anything. A prime
             example is Dr. Kevorkian. Kevorkian assisted approximatley
             thirty people with euthanasia. He and his patients thought
             they were helping to end a life of pain and misery. In reality,
             they left behind more pain and misery than peace. I think
             it was morally wrong to let Kevorkian kill all those people
             because had he been a minority, with society being the way
             it is today, he would have been arrested after the first few
             acts of euthanasia. But because Kevorkian is viewed as a
             powerful white male he was allowed to "get awat with" numerous
             euthanasia killings. I thought this to be very inhumane seeing
             that after he assisted the people in dying, he dropped their
             bodies off at different hospitals. To me, this is like
             someone dropping garbage off at a waste site. That does't
             seem very caring or humane to me. It looks like you're just
             out for the financial rewards to be obtained as a result of a
             Another point that makes me curious about Kevorkian and doctors
             like him is that the American Medical Association does not
             honor or acknowledge them. Personally, I wouldn't want
             anyone like this assisting me with any medical matter.
             There were several patients who did not give Kevorkian
             permission to perform euthanasia, but he did anyway. These
             people's rights were violated. If they were like a lot of
             terminally ill people, they aren't able to consent to
             anything. If these people are in this condition, how can you
             help them? You can't even determine if they want your help or
             not. It is not up to another human to determine the fate of someone
             else. Because of this god-like pratice, we need laws passed
             against euthanasia before it is uncontrolla...
