Dr. Kevorkian


Article
I'd like to think that he was well-meaning, but mistaken. He wanted to
alleviate pain (which is part of being a good doctor), but went about it
in a sadly, no, a tragically wrong way.

Kervorkian was a pathologist with an unhealthy attraction to death. To me he is like a sexual predator, only he stalked the depressed and sick and took advantage of their hopelessness. He didn't bring Christ to them, he brought death. I don't think he was well meaning at all. I think he was satisfying a sick urge. It occurred to me that he didn't make himself commit suicide even though he was hopelessly ill. Hmmm...

Barb, there was a time, long before my conversion, when I was in favor of "mercy killing" under certain circumstances, and I was certainly well-meaning. (However, I have NEVER been in favor of abortion.)
As for Dr. Kevorkian not committing suicide, perhaps facing his own impending death taught him, finally, belatedly, how valuable life really is.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
