When writing my Jum'ah Journal I had not gotten the news of Dr. Kevorkian's death but as it happened he died on Friday 3rd of June.
He made his name for assisting suicides and actually helping patients push over to the 'other side'. Controvertial as it has been and I did not agree with his method of providing comfort to patients but he in this way "killed" over 130 patients in his life, I am told.The one good effect of his campaign for suicide or assisted suicide has been that
We have become greatly focussed on the end of life issues of comfort and pain free lives of our patients.
