John | i Court decision on Kevorkian justifies murder On Monday, a jury found Dr. Jack Kevorkian innocent of breaking a Michigan law that prohibits assisted suicide, the much publicized case was wrought with emotion, and both supporters and opponents of Dr. Kevorkian's practices saw this as a test case for future reference. Some of the jurors were interviewed following the acquittal, and they commented that Dr. Kevorkian's own testimony convinced them that he was not guilty of any crime. They concurred that he was not taking a human life but rather relieving pain and suffering. Dr. Kevorkian, who has helped 20 people kill themselves, is now seen as a type of hero of personal freedom, willing to take on the court system for the right to die. But isn't the right to die an entirely different matter? The people he has helped commit suicide have not been connected to life support systems against their will, nor were they brain dead without an ability to communicate to the world around them. It's not simply a matter of refusing life support systems. Dr. Kevorkian helped those people take aggressive action which resulted in immediate death. That's not the right to die it's the right to end life that we don't like. If Dr. Kevorkian and his supporters are allowed to continue with their tactics, then where does it stop? This most recent case dealt with a young man who was afflicted with Lou Gehrig's disease, and Dr. Kevorkian helped end his life because they judged the quality of it to be poor. But does any doctor-any person-have the right to pass judgment on the quality of life and end those lives which are deemed to be of poor quality? What if someone determines the quality of life of a down-syndrome child to be poor? Should we assist in his suicide? What if an elderly, disabled nursing home resident has a quality of life that seems poor? Should we determine that life too? Where will it end? What if people started killing unborn babies because they are disabled or unwanted?
