A lot of speculation has been raised over the years as to whether or not the acts that Dr. Kevorkian devoted his life to were ethical or not. If you know anything about the history of Michigan, you would know that Dr. Kevorkian went to jail for making what was called a "suicide machine" where he would assist his patience in killing themselves if they wanted to die. This suicide machine was a machine that was filled with different fluids, which he would hook up to the IV of the hospitalized patient, and when these fluids entered the body it would kill the patient. Dr. Kevorkian went to jail for these acts, mainly because sometimes the patient was not able to flip the switch on the machine so he would do it for them.
My argument is, if we can inject our ill pets with euthanasia, why cant people who are suffering do it to themselves or at least request it. It is exactly the same thing. In my opinion, Jack Kevorkian was an innocent man who should not have served prison time for helping helpless people.
