My dad begged the last week before he passed, to let him die. He was in horrific pain. The day before he died, he was put in the hospital and they doubled his medicine and the morphine. He passed peacefully the next morning. I agree with Dr. Kevorkian, letting people decide their fate.
As a practicing RN for 42 years, I have seen too many people suffer horribly for weeks and months. Under certain circumstances, this is a needed option. Peace and good health to you, Lamont. Stay safe. ☮️❤️
Yes. I agree❤️
Agreed!
I agree. DWD should be legal in all states!
I guess nurses don't take the same oath as Dr's to save lives?
@@nickie7874 If course we do. And the majority of physicians I have worked with over the years agree with me, for your information. So now you are informed.
A loved one of mine chose death with dignity recently. This is a timely blog for me. Thank you so very much for posting about Dr Kevorkian.
Luckily, it's now legal in about 11 states. Finally. Hopefully, his life's work wasn't in vain.
That’s wonderful
@@vasquezalfred What? Someone choosing death is wonderful?
@@thaigirl5381 not wonderful, but with sound mind and body to completely accept that decision in knowing they’ve either lived a full productive life or they’ll no longer be suffering with extreme pain and extreme torture that will only worsen, with no hope.
It's *Kevorkian* .
I fully believe in what he was doing...watching people in your life suffering...gasping for air for days even on oxygen.. flaring their arms in so much pain yet out of their mind...we need to utilize his system continually! My opinion only...
Agree 100% My family watched a painful death of my daddy and mother, one with Lung cancer and the other with Alzheimers!
@@bigolemike33 I third that opinion.
@@bigolemike33 so sorry for your losses 🙏❤️
@@OU812.. Thank You.
agreed
We all have a right to die. Why do we have to limp across the finish line? Dr. Kevorkian did a major, humanitarian service to the world to those suffering not only from physical ailments but also mental disease. I'd rather have these people have a civilized end than suffer to the point of a dismal, gruesome demise.
@@lastfirst78 You first What Punk?
Well said.
I worked with patients who had Lou Gehrig’s disease. That and Huntington’s are 2 I remember in particular because of how rapid and devastating they are. It’s heartbreaking to watch them suffer.
My father died from Lou Gehrig's disease and my mom from lung cancer. It wasn't pretty.
Huntington’s Disease is the absolute worst. There needs to be a way to do assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
In certain states it is legal with 2 doctors approval with less than 6 months less to live. There is several documentaries on it
Huntingtons is a horrible disease that slowly destroys people and turns them into a shell of themselves.
@@staceydunklin2186 😢🙏🙏
I agree with ‘death with dignity’ it is really hard to watch someone go through so much pain and suffering to deal with an illness especially a loved one. If they would rather die peacefully than with months or years of suffering it seems more humane to let a doctor put them out of the misery and pain quickly rather than watch them suffer. Of course leave the choice up to the person too but give them both options.
@@lastfirst78 Feltcher Troll says what Punk?
Soneone I know had a relative whose teen son attempted suicide.
He would have died, but their family rushed him to the hospital and after a few months in surgeries and such, the hospital kept their son alive and he healed.
He was then arrested for attempting to commit suicide because it is deemed a crime.
(Really? I didn't know suicide was a crime. Seems more like a choice.)
And they committed him into a mental hospital/insane assylum permanently.
(Seems so unfair.)
It is his life. Why can't he take his own life if he isn't injuring or killing anyone else in the process?
If we can put our beloved pets to sleep so they don’t suffer, we should be able to decide that for ourselves as well!
Yes thank you I agree with that.
Amen🤘
I agree, of course it’s a touchy situation only because we’re a unique species (human).
My only son was on life support (car accident) no signs of life, severe brain injuries and brain stem irreversible damage, eyes-wide open no pupil activity, was advised to unplug life plus or live with possibility of vegetative state 90% paralyzed body. And also explained too, that they have heard of extremely very rare cases of patients fully recover, with the brain stem still visible damaged.
Well my son is fully walking, talking, also working all phases of construction, has 4 beautiful children. I had told his team of doctors to unplug him that day, only because it had been my sons wish that I promised him to do if he were ever on life support with a prognosis like that.
But I left that decision to my ex wife at the time and to his young wife in respecting my ex wife brought him into the world and his wife gave him children….so they both signed to keep him on life support.
Thus why I’m saying it’s a very very delicate situation in rare cases like mine.
Allow me to finish the connection:
Unplugged life support, a person may suffer for a long period. With lethal injection they won’t.
It’s just my analogy.
@@vasquezalfred I'm so sorry to hear that. I truly believe if a person wants to end their life they should be able to do it. If the doctors can't help anymore. Why live suffering in pain so family and friends has to see it everyday.
Yes I agree
It was Dr. Kovorkian who suggested in 1954 that the organs in deceased patients could benefit the living. Organ donation and transplants was his idea. I don't know if he was recognized for this life-saving idea, though. I don't know if what he did was ethical in assisting people with their deaths but the patients trusted him enough to ask for his help. Only God can judge him. But he was an interesting person. Thank you for uploading.
I watched my uncle die from ALS he was only 37. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do I respect him for what he did.
Thank you for sharing this story❤️
When it comes to terminal illness everyone should have the right to choose to live or die. He was the forerunner to making that transition painless and peaceful. Assisted suicide in this instance should not be a frowned upon. Family can be present and supportive around the patient .Death comes to all of us and I think most people want to go peacefully in their sleep right ? Not tragically or in pain . His medical methods in the end where for good intent not murder . Otherwise these patients could have just as well shot themselves . Great vlog Lamont
We all have freedoms of rights to get the vaccine, have a child, be married get divorced ect ect so we should have the right to die when we want to. I don’t care for what reason, if one wants to die let them in a death with dignity. Some diseases r horrible with long suffering effects and it’s demoralizing and degrading so let them die when they say it’s their time not the doctors , families or friends. Rip
And some mental illnesses as well, including diagnosis of Alzheimer's. There are lots of people suffering with mental illnesses and still in sound mind. Sometimes mental illness can be complicated.
Alzthimers is not a mental illness and there are several states that all assisted suicide but you have less than 6 months less to live
I agree with you.its all about money today in these nursing homes
As somebody who has dealt with several intractable medical conditions my whole life, causing me to live in constant pain, have more than 50 surgeries, and spend most of my time in my house, I am saddened by the number of people here who think that euthanasia (state sponsored murder) is an acceptable, even wonderful, solution to end lives. It is especially tragic considering how it only took around 20 years for it to become a "moral good" in society, after Kevorkian.
In those years, it has NOT been just a bunch of people with incurable diseases taking the "nice" way out. Kevorkian himself helped kill a young man who was paralyzed from the waist down, because he and his mother were sad he couldn't PLAY BASKETBALL anymore! There have been hundred of elderly who have been talked into "suicide" by unscrupulous doctors, medical staff, and their own families. And today, far from being "suicide", beginning with Terri Schiavo, those who are fully conscious, but cannot feed themselves, are being starved to death (one of the most horrible ways to die) in the name of compassion.
You are absolutely right Lamont, when things like this begin, there is NO stopping point. The things happening now, were ALL considered ridiculous in the late 90s by euthanasia advocates, those who said otherwise just wanted people to suffer 😡.
There is a really disturbing dichotomy that exists in this country when it comes to "healthcare" today. While euthanasia is now considered compassionate and a perfectly acceptable thing for a doctor to do, the restrictions on pain medication that can make lives so much more livable, are draconian. It is NO exaggeration to say that some doctors won't prescribe medication to help you, but they will prescribe it to kill you. I have witnessed firsthand the pressure that sick and elderly people are put under to end their lives. The idea that these decision are being made completely out of the desire to avoid physical pain, is a lie. We are told that we shouldn't want to make our families take care of us, that we are wasting our families money, that we're taking up valuable resources for those who could have "good" lives. The number of elderly people who "chose euthanasia" these past two years with Covid lockdowns, is estimated to be in the hundreds. NOT because they were physically suffering or dying, but because they were locked up alone and became depressed.
One thing has become clear in the past two years and that's just how easily some in our society are happy to revert to fascism, who have no problem calling for the deaths of whole segments of the population, throwing those in prison they seem "unacceptable", or wanting to refuse them medical care. It is no longer a "crazy idea" for a government to decide who's worth living and who's worth dying.
There are so many more reasons why state sanctioned murder isn't the benevolent act it has been made out to be. In most cases, it's the opposite. I hope you see this Lamont, because you are a wonderfully intelligent and thoughtful person, who doesn't just go with the crowd to be liked. You do a great job of considering all aspects of a situation, a quality severely lacking in today's world. Never stop being you! God bless ❤❤❤
I agree with what he did to help people die the way they wanted
I agreed with his practices
So glad you did this story. Never heard the story of his childhood before.
As strange as he was, he felt he was helping people. I know here in Oregon, the Death With Dignity act was enacted in 1997. Until I am terminally ill, or dying, I don't know if I will utilize this. But, those who want to, can peacefully end their own lives. And, I believe that this is directly due to Dr. Kavorkian.
I've been envious of those in Oregan since '99. happy for ya'll
Please read my reply to Jerri Micheal above yours. Hope it can shed some light. Life is precious and we are human beings. So long as we’re respectful and open minded about everything, it should make life a lot easier.
Brittany Maynard moved to Oregon because she was terminal. Lamont should show us her grave.
I'm in Oregon and never knew, I believe it's better than suffering 🙏
@@vasquezalfred Life is NOT precious to everyone buddy. I don’t understand why everyone always has to go all spiritual about life. You’re born, you live and you die. Why does life always have to be considered “precious”? Life is full of pain for a lot of people, and if people were given a choice before being being born, rest assured many would have chosen not to be born. How would not being born be a negative for anyone. Not being negative here, just more practical and realistic.
If the person wants to die for whatever reason, pain or not, I don't consider it murder.
I feel like ppl didn't understand his medical practices which I feel he did what no others would do I had to watch my mom's pass from cancer she didn't show her pain but my family knew how much she was in
I agree 💯 it shouldn't be anyone's business
It happens everyday. There was no hope for any quality of life for my husband after massive strokes so the hospital took away his feeding tube. Basically starved him to death. Took a couple of weeks for him to pass. Those stories get no attention.
@@michelleclark3274 I'm so sorry for your lost and your absolutely right about that.
@@aimeemoore1094 thank you. I don't wish that experience on anyone ever
My uncle was a prison captain at the prison Jack was at. My uncle said he was a great guy & very humble. I feel he should of never been behind bars, his pt's wanted death. As a retired clinician I agree with Diane 100%. Thank you for covering him in my beloved home state of the mitten.
My father died of Lou Gherig's disease at the age of 58. It was so heart-wrenching watching him suffer. I try not to judge others in matters of choice in their death.
He was all over the news & was very confident with his services. Everyone has their own views on this topic
Very genuine, diplomatic comment. Thank you.
Of the 132 assisted suicides he participated in, three of them had the same disease that I do. I can understand why someone would want to end their life and when you are dealing with people who are already suffering, giving them a peaceful, painless death is a gift to both the patient and their families. Many people will attempt suicide and fail or succeed only to be found by a loved one and leave them with that trauma. When a patient has had enough and there's no hope of getting better, I believe they should have the right to make that final decision for themselves.
Very well said. Thank you.
I agree with what you said, Michelle. I also have a progressive disease.💕
@@kimpeixotto5407 I'm sorry to hear that Kim. I hope you have a good support system and an understanding doctor. It's very difficult to explain to the people you love that you know what the future holds for you and you don't want to suffer to that point. It understandably hurts them, but we can only be strong for them and protect them for so long.
Take care of yourself. Live for yourself. Love yourself. Allow others to love you. Be happy.
Take a deep breath my friend, do whatever you feel is best for you. ☮️♥️
This man was a hero. He put his reputation on the line to help people who were in the most horrible pain. I will always be in awe of him.
I Believe In Him. A Fascinating story. A person should be able to make their own decisions if they want to live or Die. If they are Terminally Ill .
Exactly right yes
Bless this man’s heart for wanting to help the very sick end their lives without pain❣️ There needs to be more like him❣️🙏🏽 R.I.P.
He won't think it's funny when God judges him on judgment Day and he goes to hell forever
I remember him from the 90's. He was on the news literally every day.
Lamont, that letter you posted gave me the chills! My mom has MS. She had relapsing remitting MS. My heart ached for this person..they are right MS is a slow death...It took my mom 7 years to die 💔 😢 ...I often wondered how she felt on the inside.. In my mind I felt My mom was just existing and not living.. Now she's a free angel dancing in the sky🥰🥰😇😇God bless you Lamont! I love your channel.
Someday, this guy will be praised. NO one should struggle with disease should be forced to live
I feel that people with illness that have no cure should be aloud to die the way they want to
YES
This channel will become one of the supreme channels of RUclips
Just don't let this channel waste in the wind
Jack will go down in history as a pioneer.
We are supposed to be humain and put our sick pets to sleep but the same cannot be said of our love ones. My Mon had lung cancer and was given three months to live. Didn't happen, she lived another two years and it was two years of terrible pain and having to be fed among all other things that we usually do for ourselves. It was also two more years of thousands of dollars that had to be paid. She wanted to die and be done with it but our society wanted to see her exist and pay the health care system.
Where is our humain society when it comes to humans!
Helped take a neighbors dog to the vet to be put down. As much as it sucked I said, “too bad this is not available in every state for humans.” Vet concurred.
You are exactly right.
@@joshuahull9982 It’s a convoluted cluster F.
I absolutely agree with the Doctor. This country is so behind in compassion.
I’m Armenian and agree with what Dr. Kevorkian did. He allowed those to die with dignity. If we can do that for our pets we should be able to do it for ourselves.
If there was a God, why was there a massacre?
@@lastfirst78 💩🐷🤡
I'm Armenian too. Agreed
I don’t see him as a killer what so ever. Seeing people or loved ones suffer slowly everyday, in so much pain is not right. I believe in my OWN dignity and if things where that way for me I would want to take control of MY destiny and end it. Saving my family from such grief or sadness. Your putting their own lives on pause just to watch me or care for me till I passed naturally. YES there are situations that I think do not qualify for this type of service. I was glad to see he made it out of jail even though I believe he went on a hunger strike for a LONG time while first in.?? This is ONLY my opinion..which I’m entitled to before someone comes at me. RIP
I completely agree with China and the organ thing. Why not?! I also think Kevorkian was an extremely intelligent man and was just before everybody’s time. I would bet in 20 or 30 years assisted suicide will be normal for terminally ill patients. RIP Doctor Thank You for helping all the suffering end their misery🙏🏼💙
He helped people end their misery and pain…much respect!!
If I was in that bad of shape and suffering I'd want death as quickly as possible.
And easy and painless.
He stopped alot of needless suffering a hero. Tough conditions must be met before assisted dying. I watched my poor husband suffer with a terminal illness he was only 45 years old when he passed. He had no quality of life and just wanted to go. I still have nightmares as does his loved ones who witnessed it. God bless this man.
he was ahead of his time tbh assistance should be available to those who are end of life.
I think he provided a valuable service to people who were terminally and critically ill. It should be up to us not the government if we want to live or die under those circumstances
I lived in Michigan during the Kavorkian debacle. He was legally crucified for standing against the state for the right of control over one's own life and death. I watched the entire circus and how he was painted as a monster to discredit him for daring to suggest a person could choose their own end. What was done to him was a travesty.
Mid to late 90s he was the talk on the news daily!! Great story
*RIP, Dr. Jack Kevorkian. You're a great man, an extraordinary amazing doctor.*
*Thank you for helping your patient from the miserable pain and suffering. WE MISS AND LOVE YOU, Dr. Kevorkian*
A visionary and compassionate soul
I’m not willing to take my life. I let God do that.
What if you don't believe god exists?
I agree with what he did, however, some of the things were very questionable. Thanks for showing us!! Have a great day Lamont!!
We agree with what he did also. Just think of all the suffering we helped people avoid!!!
Sincerely,
Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot
@@Goodkidjr43 wow what an awful thing to say!
@@Goodkidjr43 hmmmm, interesting you would take it there. Do you or have you had any family members with terminal illness? Have you had to watch anyone you love suffer to the extent where their bodies gave up but unfortunately they were trapped inside of that body? If not, I can see why you could think how you do. I have an if given the chance for those suffering to of found peace, I agree they should be able to end their suffering.
@@Goodkidjr43 👈 Conservative religious nut-job detected.
I really enjoy being here thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for this story 💜💜💜💜💜💙
Truly a touchy subject for a lot of people!!!
If anyone wants to know his truck is in Zack Bagans haunted museum in Las Vegas Nevada!
The one he performed those procedures in?
@@blankblank3397 Yep.
It’s pretty interesting to see the van there. It was the only room I felt something in.
@@andreacameron9396 itll be on my list of places when I make it back there
That really is a hot button topic, I say it's a person's right to go where they see fit. Not my place to make that decision
Jack Kevorkian is a hero to me. We should be able to have a say on how we leave this planet should the need arise. There is a big difference between suicide & suffering.
I agree with what he did. Most of us make that decision for our loved animals which we love very much to end their suffering. We should be able to make a choice's.
I agree. To burden my family with the emotional and financial stress of watching me die a slow painful death, is not my wish. I don't consider what this man did is suicide. Families are asked to pull the plug when there is no hope that a person will recover, are they murderers? No.
@@marianneturner7267 Well said. Thank you.
@@stellarocquie7957 you're welcome.
Armenian pride. Thanks for this video, Sir.
Animals never have to suffer, people shouldn't either. I am so glad we have assisted death where I live. Body autonomy is so crutial even at end of life
As I wrote this I never would have expected to have a parent in the latest moments of home hospice 3 weeks later... my sentiment still stands
He was a hero! TYVM!
As long as I can control my pain I let God take control 🙏🙏🙏
With what? Opiates? Having to have your diapers changed? If you have dementia, who is going to know you’re in pain if you cannot communicate? You would be suffering in silence and your “god” will allow that. No disrespect to your faith, but I don’t want that to be my ending years.
@@absatwell8163 Calm down. Everyone has a choice.
@@stellarocquie7957 Not everyone. I’m not mad, just frustrated.
@@absatwell8163 Certainly, everyone does. Being frustrated with other people's personal decisions amounts to judging them. Make YOUR OWN decisions and be at peace with that.
@@stellarocquie7957 I watched my parents go through this. It’s horrible. Sure we could have put them on vents and feeding tubes, but for what? My mother starved to death because she forgot how to eat. I was 33 when I watched her die. It was not peaceful. That was in 2003. Dad died 10 years later from cancer. If these laws were in effect then it could have saved us so much heartache and them pain and suffering.
The man was a visionary. A hero, for sure. Someone else should have continued his work. RIP Jack.
Well, he assisted people who were not terminal as well, they just wanted to die. I don’t think that’s ethical, but he had the right idea.
Hospice
@@absatwell8163 if your of sound mind and body but elderly say as elderly couples who got help from the doctor and some even set there financials in order with everything paid for and belongings distributed. There choice to pass on in order to not burden families and loved ones, even explaining to all families. You accomplish your years and you’ve made a logical choice. Not all do that but to those who do should be respected in there decisions.
@@vasquezalfred Yes, but what he did was illegal at the time. No attorney signing off on a living will would ever go for that or a power of attorney/medical directive family member or friend. Everyone would be held culpable and charged. I’m sure everything was hush. He did get caught though. I can’t recall how. Sorry, my elderly pup has been vomiting blood and so my focus has been on her and everything else went out the window. 😳
@@absatwell8163 LOL, all that formality. ... .if the elderly couple puts all their affairs in order, goes home and does the deed, who's the wiser? I'm not understanding the discussion of the involvement of any third parties in this process. It just seems that this should be as simple as possible. As for legislation, check with the Health and Welfare/Human Services Committee ( or some permutation of those designations ) in your state to get the ball rolling. You may want to check and see what's holding up the Bill that's already been introduced, and try to address the specific problem, and amend it. Just curious, what was the diagnosis for the Pup vomiting blood? That would scare the crap out of me! ! !
"Wow" in the (1990's) I've heard about this guy a lot in the media he was a celebrity then as big the Kardashian's is to Millenials werent even born yet just wont understand the fane thus guy had then. I remember hearing about this guy on news and tv-documentaries in the 90's alot when I was a teenager then. If he was doing this now people's would be giving this guy millions of RUclips views & likes that's some crazy forgotten history here , that a lot if the new Millenials generation never heard of.😮😮😮
Lamont that was so interesting. I new of him and remember when all this was going on. I'm going to have to learn about him some more. Ty Lamont for a very interesting vlog. Take care! I will be eager for the next one!❤
Lamont thank you for telling the story of Dr.Kevorkian.
I personally was a fan of Dr. Kevorkian. Assisting people with debilitating terminal illnesses, he allowed people to die with dignity. Safe Travels, Lamont!!
@Jade Francis #1 Fan That wasn't said! Don't be such a sh*t starter. Not my fault my comment went over your head. Now go away!!
I believe in what he did it should be our choice.
Why not it's are body
Jack Kevorkian is a true American hero.
I saw the actual van at the zak bagans haunted museum in Vegas.Truly interesting video,great job!
Yes, Zak Bagans purchased from Les Gold out of Detroit, Michigan.
He had a office in Petoskey, Michigan. My dad used to go to that same doctors office to see his doctor (not Jack). I remember him being very nice.
With that said weather you agree with ot or not he was helping people that suffered & they made the choice so no i dont consider it cold blooded murder even if the law considers it the same.
I hope if im ever in a position that im just suffering or to old to live on my own that i have the same opertunity sp i dont have to figure out how to do it myself. No thats not me being depressed. Its something that i put deep thought into over many years.
Love the content Lamont. Keep up the good work.
I remember everything about him. He only wanted to help people that were really suffering 😔. But, I agree thou, like you said, there are instances where this is taken too lightly. Thanks Lamont!
He was ahead of his time. After watching many family, and friends, pass away in horrible pain and suffering he gave people an option.
Am 71 yrs old with COPD and I know my time will come just like my father I don't want to suffer like my father did am all for choosing my death the way I want and not going through unnecessary pain .
I'm a supporter of compassion and choices, the right to die with dignity. Wish it was available in all 50 states. My husband and I are young but we have discussed final wishes.
(P.s. If you ever get to Minnesota, you should look into the Pearl lake Hoskins family murders..It was a cousin of one of my grandparents. They got a lot of calls from the news stations after it happened. Their graves are near where they died-all buried together..take care and thanks for all of the great videos!)
I read his books. I believe he was a humanitarian. Having a cancer that will slowly take my life, I did research on this subject.
The very best to you and the decisions you make❤
Love all your channels. Keep up the great work. You are a great story teller. Thumbs up Lamont.
Count me as one of his supporters. The choice between a painful death or choosing when it’s no longer worth it, let me decide. Why should anyone else have the right to tell me that I have to suffer? Live And Let Die.
A true American hero. I followed his work for years as a kid and thought this is an amazing person doing great things for everyday people. I had kinda hoped someone would have filled his shoes but haven't seen it yet.
Again in my neck of the woods and I didn’t know lol…. Very controversial and complicated man and story to say the least. Thank you for telling the story as only you can Lamont 🌺
Mr. Lamont your videos are very prolific. You have such a multitude of great videos. I just wanted to say your selection is perfection. Thank you for all that you do.
Thanks Lamont for a most interesting documentary. For me, your videos are documentaries. I just adore the way you describe everything. He was ahead of his times in this issue. I know that MAID exists in some parts of the USA. I am sure that this, with time, will be a more acceptable measure in other countries, too, and obviously after completing a strict protocol. My greetings as always from Spain.
Always great commentary and always respectful on the visits. Thanks for sharing!
Great story Lamont. Thank you for showing this.
Thank you Lamont love from the UK x
He was a true Pioneer. Agree only for the truly sick.
JK conducted his death treatments the right way, legally: he got other MDs opinions/tests on the patient, had the patient talk with ministers and other religious folk, and got statements from family members. He had it all documented in writing; that's why no court could stop him. In some cases, he even got statements from accountants stating how much conventional medical treatment was costing the family. Sad to say, but money was a factor in some of these cases.
Keep up the good work, Lamont!
I was a corrections officer during part of his prison stay and talked to him. I agreed with his concept, but believe you me, he was a strange guy. He would almost get into an orgasmic joy describing some of the work, looking deeply into the eyes at deaths moments to try a capture an image of the soul. He had to be placed in segregation with officers watching him several times, feared for his safety from other prisoners and his increased ideas of death as he aged.
He seemed a little too obsessed with death! That's the work of the devil, to me!
I agree people have the right to decide. I've told my family if I get a terminal illness I'm to be sent to my heavenly home
Thanks for the video Lamont
Oh yes. I remember him well. Some would say he was a horrible person. Depends on how some look at it I guess. Some may say he helped these victims out. RIP.
@ShayQueen I do too. If a person who is in that much pain and misery that they'd rather die. No matter how much we love them we have to honor their wishes and let them go.
I graduated from Troy high school 2010 and moved to Atlanta right after I remember having to do a senior project about this man for my health class and was stressed lol fast forward to 2021 still living in Atlanta man this brings back memories #TroyColts2010
He saved many from pain and anguish
He helped end Peoples suffering.
Another goodie!!! Thank you 😊
Pain and agony should never occur in this day and age....we have more compassion for our pet's at the end of their life's than we do for our own loved one's....everyone deserves to pass into eternity with dignity and free of torturous pain....I am all for Jack's way....always have been....a few visits to a local hospice will certainly change the minds of most people who are against this practice in compassion ❤
I agree 1000% in dignity in dying...
Thanks man,I have forgotten about this man
I remember him like it was yesterday....yay Pontiac Michigan! Great video Lamont. 💗💗💗
Lamont, you are such a great guy, classy, respectful, and an incredibly honorable man. Thanks for all your posts and I hope to meet you one day! 🤗
All I have to say, is I am in your debt Jack. I thank you from the bottom of my soul.
A view from the Uk. C'mon Lamont, you're better than the question you posed us at the end of the video. We as humans are presented almost every day with challenges that require decisions from what colour to paint my toenails to do we go to war. A decision like this, as with others, are caveated, mostly medically as well as legally to prevent EXACTLY the flip side of euthanasia occurring. Only and until you have experienced a terminal debilitating disease or had to nurse a family member and watch them in pain, will you really understand what they go through. Not only their medical side but also their emotional side too. We are having this discussion in the UK as we speak and the "gatekeepers" being discussed are 2 independent medical examinations to confirm the disease and one psychiatrist evaluation and the patient being compos mentis and legal papers to back it up.
I agree with you Lamont, but I see the others' points. I've seen suffering of my family members, & have been thru suffering myself.
I however, would not think to take my own life or those of family members, or even consider assisting them, but I can understand & respect it. People want the right to choose, & to die with dignity, but, first & foremost not to be a burden to anyone.
Again, tho, I see your point. If we start that, where does it end?
Thanks for the video. Dr. K's work always fascinated & intrigued me.
He was before his time. Also, he seemed to enjoy it too much. He was a creepy looking guy. I remember wondering if he was actually a serial killer. Really bad messaging on his part. I hope that we do actually have this option soon. Watched a few family members suffer at the end and don't wish that on anyone.
Love your channel ❤
I think we all have a reason for being here. We may never know what exactly that reason is. Jack Kevorkian was necessary even if some don’t believe in what he stood for. He changed lives, maybe good for some, maybe not for others. The very fact that he existed changes people even today.
