…and wanted to die “naturally”. He also wanted and got medical care for the last few months of his life. He was so eager to “off” people with the “right to die”, but apparently wasn’t in any hurry to go himself.

I will and will continue to pray for him, but what a hypocrite, and what a stir he caused. He’s quoted as saying that the worst day of his life was the day he was born. Explains a lot about his POV on death, methinks.

Hopefully he saw the light and repented before he met the Almighty. I’m sure God has a few things he’d like to say to Jacko.

Fairly big news here in the Detroit Metro area.
 
Al Pacino who played Dr Jack Kervorkian liked playing this “character”
 
That reminds me of the joke: “Nietzsche said God is dead. God said Nietzsche is dead.” That is not to say that Kevorkian or Nietzsche necessarily died the “second death,” as St. John calls it in the Apocalypse.
 
I’m no Kevorkian fan, but I don’t necessarily believe he’s a hypocrite. There is a difference between wanting to die, and not wanting to die…he helped those that made the choice to die. It doesn’t mean that he also has to make that choice.

He’s an interesting case for discussion. I think he truly believed he was helped people, yet he objectively, and repeatedly, committed mortal sin. Who knows how he will be judged.
 
May God have mercy on his soul.
He was truly misleading the culture. I work in hospitals, patients do have choices & palliative care options. This is completely different than what Kervorkian advocated.
I read the thread on CNN, it was truly disturbing.🤷
 
Yep, may God have mercy on his soul. From what I’ve read about him, he’s gonna need it.

He helped people by commiting mortal sins? Very inconsistant with Catholic Moral Theology; one cannot do evil to achieve good.

Yeah, we don’t know…he may have repented in the last minutes of his life. We can only hope.
