Talk:Dr. Kevorkian

message: Dr. Wayne W. Dyer once quoted, “The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.” 
	Now we are left to argue about the choice of death. Life is a boon that was given to procreate and fulfill responsibilities. As a (approximate) moral being human should try to remain within the realm of civility and understand the essence of living organism. The time would never demand death upon an existing life, but rather existence of a blossoming petal around a thorn to keep the ecosystem of the garden flourish. 
     I have a different ‘take’ in the issue about Dr. Kevorkian’s fight against life or as he puts it, the “voluntary euthanasia.” I do not intend to impose my philosophy of life over someone else’s values. Yet, I do believe in life and its existence to prove that the humans can survive thought thick and thin of pain. How easy it is to end one’s life; excruciating pain-take a syringe, and forget about the rest of the world. World is an ecosystem of things that we see and we do not see. “A small change in ‘eat-or be eaten,’ process will eliminate a whole line of organism.” At least that is what my ecology class taught me. I do not believe that any one would want to bicker with this statement, unless they are completely drowned in theological approach to life and environment. I am religious, but I chose to believe that humans are made up of organ systems. If one person chooses to end his life, the other supporting bodies get disturbed.
	I feel that no one has to right to take someone else’s life. There are pains, there are sufferings and there is happiness. Aren’t the mixtures of these things called life? It is obvious feeling that when we feel pain in a new wound in hands, that the hands never existed. How about the migraine that we occasionally get, don’t we wish that we never had these ‘starter’ nerves to begin with? Well we do and we cannot do anything about it. This is human body and as they say, “You reap what you sow.” If you worked hard, taken good care of yourself in your youth, you would never have to withstand the elderly pain, latter in life. Even if you did take care of your self in your youth, and you have a dangerous disease, isn’t illness a part of human growing. We should not be blaming our age or body for the disease but rather accept the fact that illness happens, old age happens, we acquire diseases and one day we die. These are the facts of life. People like Dr. Kevorkian support the thesis that one has the right to choose his death. I defy this thesis and I dislike this principle. It is because I believe anyone in pain would want the pain to go away, anyone with broken arm would wish they never had one, and anyone with Migraine wish they never has those nerves. Nonetheless we do, and we have to tackle them as a part of our aging and maturing. 
	We cannot play god. We were not the started of this life in earth and unless the environment wants us to die, we do not have the right to take our or other’s lives. Life is to live and fulfill our responsibility and even when we die, we have the responsibility of living a legacy of rightful death. We are to be as moral as possible and to provide a person with the equipment of death is asking god for his throne, or asking extraterrestrial being for its ultra quipped and technologically advanced space craft.

message: Shouldn't this page be under Jack Kevorkian and not Dr. Kevorkian? His real name is Jack, and though he is known in popular culture as Dr. Kevorkian, that is not his proper name. We don't have pages titled like this for other doctors or people with doctorates or other titles. SliceNYC (Talk) 23:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
