Everyone would suspect oppression, rather than depression, as a major factor in the suicide. The fact that Fieger played a role in selecting the victims and that he won Kevorkian's trials by using anti-disability slurs to evoke juror prejudices makes him the worst kind of bigot in our eyes. Michigan voters will also be voting on an initiative to legalize assisted suicide this November. If this initiative passes, it will create a bizarre new addition to Michigan's tourist trade. With Fieger as governor and assisted suicide as law, Michigan will quickly become the unrivalled killing center of disabled people in the country.
