Dr Death-- The Grave of Jack Kevorkian

[@cookiemonster1638]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 ❤❤❤

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.

@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!!

[@Jkk55]

[@juliemurry7611]

[@dileedavis]

Yes, Zak Bagans purchased from Les Gold out of Detroit, Michigan.

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.

[@HeavenScentsDetroit]

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 🌺

[@shoshanamichaelia9739]

That one sick doctor

[@steph999]

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.

[@karencarbone2603]

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!

[@charismamonet4190]

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

[@Junkyard_Dog]

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.

[@danielbrumbaugh9845]

Great story about an interesting man.

[@timmytube12]

"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 KZbin views & likes that's some crazy forgotten history here , that a lot if the new Millenials generation never heard of.😮😮😮

[@karenwright4587]

Another great story telling a very touching subject thanks for sharing take care x

[@MrJayt0625]

He was a true Pioneer. Agree only for the truly sick.

[@BuckNastty]

Thanks for the video Lamont

[@lorimoran5221]

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

[@carolgillis5265]

Thanks man,I have forgotten about this man

[@LMCEK]

In Ontario, Canada assisted suicide by physician is legal. A registered nurse will start two IV lines and an MD will administer the drugs. The person is mentally capable and two different doctors interview them and endorse or decline an endorsement for assisted suicide. The procedure is officially called MAID - Medical Assistance in Dying.

[@wandaclark9252]

I liked him.he helped people

[@Payton20ADZ]

This dr was ahead of his time.

[@Ember3221]

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.

[@amaraland1]

The very best to you and the decisions you make❤

[@lindachavezw...246]

We all deserve to have the right to decide. RIP

[@vivis9946]

I have stage 4 metastatic cancer to my bones. I have been fighting cancer for 4 years. I can barely walk without wanting to cry even with pain meds. I refuse to go to hospital/hospice. I always wanted to pass away outside on a hammock on a beach. I'm not ready to go yet even with pain. I would rather just drift off asleep. They don't allow assistance in Texas. Other States do. I'm not looking for pity. My sister passed away in 1987 at 37 of metastatic breast cancer but it had spread rapidly. She passed away at home. Her daughter at 44 passed away of the same thing. I'm glad I wasn't there because I just couldn't see them take their last breath. I was in my early 20's when my sister passed. When I could I still went to her grave and left flowers, talk to her. Death of a disease is very hard to watch for family and friends. They keep remembering everything their loved ones went through. There should be laws open to patients with a death sentence.

[@srocks-uj2ip]

All I have to say, is I am in your debt Jack. I thank you from the bottom of my soul.

[@tammiekinsey3956]

Love your channel ❤

[@rorygreene7275]

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.

[@rorygreene7275]

@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.

[@Cejusnhy7643]

Just as one person can decide to stay on a machine forever and ever, so does the choice to end it for oneself.

[@gilvogt4440]

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 ❤

[@johndunkle740]

You did your best Doctor.
